subie. or if can shell out for a new car. Mazdaspeed 3 265hp.

 

I know Steve says he doesn't need a wagon anymore, but just thought I'd comment on this.

I was with Dan when he test drove the Fit a few weeks ago. I must admit, the interior felt roomier than I thought it would (I'm not really one for small cars to begin with), and I can see how the interior can be quite versatile and roomy. However, the engine really lacked of power, even while flooring it. It definitely doesn't leave much room for error in judgement when merging into high speed traffic. I'd think this would be even more of an issue with the weight of more passengers, a car full of items, or a heavy dog. On a side note, something very inconsequential, but that caught my attention was how loud the turn signals were in the cabin upon activation. I was only the passenger, but Dan's thoughts were that it wasn't as fun of a drive as he thought it would be.

 

you might as well buy a regular STi. the biggest difference in the limited is the lack of a big spoiler.

 

Ok, Honda Fit and throw in a K20

 

Someone needs to get Ken somthing other than a Honda product

 

My father bought a Subaru, his first non Honda product in 20 years.. I'm actually impressed by it.

If the Fit didnt exist, i'd say a Subaru Outback, just make sure you dont get the 2.5 non turbo

 

265hp and FWD... no thanks

 

260hp.com



Actually, every review I've read said that the torque management system does a great job in the Mazdaspeed 3. I'm going to try to find one for a test drive soon.

 

Yes but how well will the torque management system work when you crank up the boost? That's my fear. There's no way I could leave a turbo-4 with 265hp stock for very long.

And I'm on my 2nd CL-S already... first one had 300whp second one had 335whp. Took the boost off because it wasn't useful unless I was already above 30mph. Done with FWD...

 

We're trying to get him into a new Mustang GT

 

Yea but he freaked out by the idea of a few rattles.

 

i know but i love the leather. but upon further review i'm going to get a black LGT limited, more more style and plsu it will be unique. i plan on big this for this car and big horsepower. all by the end of this summer.......hopefully i just need to work hard while keeping up the schol work and it will be all good.

 

Drive an SRT8 Magnum and you'll change your mind.

 

i ment for that price range.. but yeah those things are beasty!

 

Only wagon I'd buy is a Subaru WRX Wagon. Sexy.

 

Indeed. I like my 151,000 mile car that is rattle-free.

But that Mustang GT is sure tempting anyway

 

I'd buy one of these:

 

that thing is gangster!!!

 

My old tbird didn't start rattling till about 100K miles... My CLS has been rattling since day one... now that it's cold out the rattles are back...

 

I was thinking about the Fit. I'm gonna test drive one.

 

I think Jackson Racing makes a supercharger for it that boosts power to ~150hp

 

Yep they do... and it makes ~150+ at the wheels!
