We looked at those back in 2000 when my mom wanted a new car by she ended getting something a little bigger. I would rather have the next generation as I think they are pretty ugly but they aren't bad. Can't beat the fuel economy of one and all wheel drive but I think if I was goinng to keep the jeep I would get a more fun car as a daily driver but that's just me

I had a 02 wrx with a 2.5L jap motor swap around 320whp. The 5spds are sorta weak but mine held up just fine except for shit synchros going into 4th. The 6 speeds out of the sti's are bulletproof though.

I want to get a DD this within the next year and a half. I am seriuosly considering a WRX or a 2.5rs as long as its turbo. I would love to get a STI but I do not have the money for that.

Yea youll be looking at wrx's then because trying to turbo a 2.5 NA motor is like putting money into a dana 35. |

My bro was big into subies. He had an 06 WRX with STI turbo and other factory STI parts, and tune, so it was quicker than stock sti's by quite a bit. The 2.0 turbos are pretty pathetic unless you do a bunch of work to them.....my bro test drove a bunch and they didn't impress me whatsoever. Bugeyes are HIDEOUS in my opinion, and I would never waste money on such an ugly car....looks like a dodge neon from the front!
As for the 2.5RS's, I actually like them. Nice looking little car, and I'm sure it would be fun if you got a stick. You really don't see them around too much, so it would stand out.

Great cars, i want one myself but the 2.5 tends to blow head gaskets, but once its fixed it will run forever. I want alex p's 2.5Legacy GT but i cant afford to buy it and fix the blown HG.
2.5 RS wrx 's are sick cars. the 2 doors are rare too.
