seem to be pretty similar i guess in overall specs. the wrx is quicker to 60 though i dont know by how much. right now i have a 350z but the damn thing is a maint hog and im getting tired of it. looking to get something a little cheaper as well and was thinking an 04 model for either of these two cars. i like the styling of the wrx better but dont know much about eiither on other than looking at specs on paper. are there any particular gremlins that haunt either model or specific year? any horror stories about maint issues. seems like they would both be pretty easy to make fast and make up the .5 sec diff my current car has over these.
only other option, other than keeping my z, is getting a single cab truck. before i never really wanted one bc of space issues, but after a z a single cab truck seems cavernous.

Nissan will cost more for parts. I would suggest RX8...

lookin to spend around 15
and i dont really like the stylin of the srt4, cars will be around an 03-04

and vash i currently own the nissan and am not looking for another one, trust me ive been scarred from them now. and ive driven the rx8, wasnt impressed especially considering the price diff between that and a wrx/srt4
edit:^not to mention the ease of tuning on a turbo car

think of the caliber as a mini-durango....with lots of speed.
unless its under 20 i wont be able to buy it, i dont want to have to finance more than 10

what would be interesting is the new grand cherokee that does 0-60 in like 5 seconds, but too expensive
again the rt is sporty enough, 172 hp in a small suv. :rolleyes

I was looking at those ... but then I thought, when the hell do I ever need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds to justify getting a car that's expensive to buy and expensive to drive?

They look cool, though.

I;m a cheap ass mofo.

that car starts at like $12k, PLUS it gets 34/40 MPG, PLUS employee discount??

oh I am SO there baby!

it would only be a sweeter deal if I had some kind of coupon on it.

dude, that first spot was THE shit. remembe rthat time that stupid bitch broke my mirror then cleaned it up off the ground and then pretended she didnt know what i was talking about?
btw, people, first off i cant afford a 50k dollar car and secondly im not looking for a gas saver. 25k is about my ABSOLUTE max and preferable alot lower. if i do anything im thinking 00 corvette or like 03/04 impreza wrx. only thing about the vette besides it being alot more than a wrx is im not sure how much insurance would be
