The TSX was too slow, and for the money it was cheaper to buy a car that was already turbo charged. I wanted a brand new WRX, but the dealership wasn't going to give me a lot for my car. So I went to the best used car dealership. They buy cars for cash on the spot. They had a, for the most part, brand new STi shipped from Portland with 500 miles on it. I got it for 29,995. Which is an awesome deal. They gave me 23,500 for my car which had a few mods and 12,400 miles on it. I put "my new car" as the title because no one has actually seen it yet, but I've had it since May 15th. I see my old car all the time around Anchorage and I miss it. They sold it within about two weeks, I have to admit the TSX is a really hot car.

The Legacy GT wasn't out at that time. I took a look at them and it's awesome. It's basically a TSX with power. Dual exhaust, leather seats, Xenon headlights, blinkers on the side view mirros, nice gauge cluster, and the dash and trim is the spit nimage of the TSX. In Japan they have something like a STi Legacy. Just like the legacy GT, except it's tiwn turbocharged, Brembo brakes, 285hp/280ftlb tq, 6 speed manual transmission. It's an awesome car. My next car would be the Acura TL, EVO MR, or the STi Legacy(hopefully coming to America in 2005). Here's a pic of the Legacy GT in Japan. Very hot!

wow that legacy is hot.. i got my eye on that thing.. i made two mistakes when gettin my car..
1. automatic
2. i need more power
I LOVE MY TSX. i wish i had the money to jus buy the legacy.. but the power issue, is a big concern and im not gunna pay around 4 grand for a supercharger that will only compete against the legacy gt. I rather get that GT and invest in that body kit shown in the picture. oh and dont forget the AWD

TSX 19, you're in the same boat that I was. It's cheaper to buy the car that has the engine that was meant for a turbo charger. Fairly good internals, power, and you wont lose the luxury with the GT.

Heh, the exhaust is pretty big. I wouldn't want it any bigger lol. It's so loud, a little too loud. I need to sell this one and invest in a more stealthier sounding exhaust system. Something more like the Comptech exhaust for the TSX.


thanks for the comments,
Wes
