American muscle for the sunny days and Japanese reliability for the snowy ones.

always loved STi's but cannot seem to like the hatchback looking STi's. i hate that they pulled away from the 4door look.

They went back to the sedan in 2011!! They look pretty dang sharp too :cool: I love the hatch, lol...I wouldn't mind a sedan but the hatch is my thing!

The hatchback versions are my favorite I love STI's one day I will own one. One day.....

;)

We will likely get a WRX sedan next fall. My wife gets a new car and she is set on one. I still have to get her to test drive one and make sure she can manage the throttle on a turbo with such an abrupt powerband. She is used to driving BMWs with silky smooth powerband.

Very nice! I haven't driven one yet, but was speaking with someone last week who said they are a blast. Glad we finally have them Stateside.

They certainly are!

Although a little tip - if you don't plan on changing your car - DO NOT test drive one of these.

If you do, you will buy it.

Jus' sayin... :D

Great car =)
When I bought the Alfa Mito the 500 was an option too, but in the diesel option the 500 had 20hp less and cost +- the same...
Now the 500 has the 95hp 1.3diesel too..if this is fun for me I can't imagine the abarth versions..

I drive a MINI JCW and have been told the 500s are nice but not quite up to the MINI levels for performance (power, handling, fun-factor). I think the MINI still looks better too.

I'm waiting to test drive one of the new MINI JCW Coupes.

Terrific roadster, basically a little go-kart :D Previously I had a Z06 so a big change up ... though I think I'm going to swap it out for something, maybe another small-er-ish roadster like a Z4 35i (E89), but who knows, I'm kind of all over the place with makes/models :)

It has a few suspension tweaks, some aftermarket audio ... I kept it reasonably stock compared to my last two rides.

Very nice S2000. Always liked them, and particularly your color!

Just a random picture, doesn't show much of the car's figure. Only modifications are an upgraded HID system and the Thule! :p

Very clean setup. I had SSR Type C's before on my RSX. Do you browse S2Ki?

Nice looking S2K.

Boost it! :eek::cool:

Thanks. I had planned on buying a C6 Vert in the same color, silver with a red interior, but I decided to change it up.

Bike rack? You ride?

Very clean setup. I had SSR Type C's before on my RSX. Do you browse S2Ki?

Thanks again. I try to keep things really dialed in, like _proper_ wheel fitment, and the front and rear aero pieces are OEM (pre-painted from Japan), with just the splitter being aftermarket (nice piece made in South Carolina). I'm running an Amuse full Ti exhaust, which has recently started getting on my nerves, so I might swap that back to stock.

I am over on S2Ki, though not very often.

Nice looking S2K.

Boost it!

Thanks #3. :) Funny enough I bought it originally with the intent to supercharge it, and I just never got around to it, and now, I don't really want to sink that kind of money into the aftermarket. I was even on a GP list just days away from committing on a setup from Science of Speed, but bailed.

I had a 4th gen Supra that had +vast+ amounts of aftermarket/effort/money sunk into it, so I've kind of been-there-done-that.

Like I mentioned, I'm kind of interested in something different, maybe something with a dual clutch type system so the woman can drive it too, like a Boxster S with PDK or an M3 convertible or Z4 with DCT. Kind of digging on the Z4, E89 ... just a tune away from 400+HP (and stout torque), folding hardtop, and DCT.
