I just got back from a business trip to Switzerland and I got to ride in a guys WRC. He had sweet Recaro seats that gripped the body great and that car had some kick! What do you all think of it?

I'm thinking it would be nice for the future when my CL is too old.
Does the US version (WRX) have the same power as the euro spec? Does it have those great seats? Peace.

it's nice as a second car. I'd miss the luxary of the CL. The WRX is the pure performance version of the Audi S4.

A bit too small for my tastes. Would it be possible to make a six cylinder boxer engine?

Zapata

The Euro version you are talking about might be the WRX STi that has 280 HP!!!! That is SUPPOSED to come here next year. We'll see.....

i've heard recent scoobys, from the impreza to the wrx, have had problems w/ the O2 sensor. might wanna check into that if ur thinking about buying. hopefully they addressed the issue. it's a great bang for the buck at about 25K. little to no luxury, but w/ a good stick driver it'll kick the ass of many cars in a straight and in twsities, including the cl-s...

It looks a little small but the back seat has more room than the CL. If I were going to buy one it would be the wagon. The sedan looks funky but you have to love awd and the possibilities of the turbo.

moving to car talk.

I think it's a cool-looking car. I'd love to test drive one...hmm....

I rode down to San Antonio with a friend who owns a WRX sedan. I love the way it handles, and its pretty damn fast. I wouldn't mind picking up the Wagon.

They're OK...but why are they are all 4 doors..what's up with that? They're too small for 4 doors. I used to have an '85 Brat that I LOVED and I think Subarus are solid cars, I just hate 4 doors.

I agree with Zapata, its good as a second car, not a replacement for the CLS. While its much quiker and peppier than the CLS, the Acura is so much more refined, and civilized. I test drove the WRX wagon, it hauls azz, but s4 is a much better choice, though pricier.

I was a couple of days away from buying one. Untill I drove a CL-S... It was a real fun car to drive, but it is a completely different experience than an Acura. It is more like a Civic all pumped up on steroids.
