the car isnt aimed for family use, it would just be a handy bonus ... also regarding the integra ... i could fit more in my DC2 integra than i can in my liberty wagon ... so dont underestimate them ... its like a sportscar ute =)

id prefer the car to be lighter if possible ... im not looking for huge power targets but i would like a really good handling car =)

thanx for the technical input ppls =)

get a GC model, they are lighter than the newer model WRX's, and handle better from my experience. lots around, and are fairly cheap these days, with only the really low km examples advertised for around 20k

once you have been driving a wrx for a while, you dont feel safe driving other cars with less handling & capability

If the bugeye you drove was just a std one then don't let it cloud your
judgement of what GD's are like, go jump in a 03+ preferably an 05 and
you will see what I'm talking about.

Sorry to the bugeye owners but these are probably not the best of what
the GD has to offer as it was the first of the GD chassis and they (SUBARU)
have improved a lot from their first try.

did a bit of research on the XT fozzas ... im pretty impressed ... will definatly consider it

after a bit of poking around, me and the other half are liking the 06 WRX Wagon or the 06 XT

Get a late model Liberty FTW.

I considered a club spec model, but every one I saw smelt like sweaty ass cheeks. Cheap quality leather smells absolutley awful in summer. hence Summer is a Bummer.....

In that case - buy a well sorted STi. Don't bother with a $25k WRX then burn $10k modding it.

STi's a much better platform - better motor, bigger turbo, stronger gearbox, better brakes, etc, etc...
