SUBE555 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'd get me a pedal bike. :lol: Probably a WRX Wagon on the serious side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Ski Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 An A4 3.0 Avant or a WRX Sport Wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LegacyGT330Ci Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I would have gotten the WRX wagon as I wanted something that was atlesat as fast as the 330 but I needed a wagon so there were very few choices and it wasn't that I found out about the new Legacy until I was scanning the lot for the WRX when I saw a nice set of wheels in the distance and said hmm whats that over there.

IwannaSportSedan Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I probably would be looking at the A4, still. and if the reliability still scared me off, the RX8 6MT, or trying like heck to find a manual trans IS300. Maybe an E36 M3 4-door if I could find and afford one. I am not sold on the G35 sedan, although the coupe looks interesting. It has to be AWD or RWD, 4 accessible seats, a manual trans, and a sporty premise. Thank you Subaru for building a car that is bullseye on that target, reliable, and affordable.

scubie02 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 That'd be a toughie--I'd probably still just have my wrx. But if I were buying...a Mazda 3 or 6 possibly, possibly an Altima...the S40 is pretty pricey. I'd consider the TSX but the nearest dealer is almost 2 hours away from me so thats a big negative not really based on the car. The new Mustang would have been a big contender, actually--even though its different from the 4 dr sedans I'd be looking at otherwise. And actually, the new Mercury Zephyr looks nice (though as w/ some of the others I wouldn't be THRILLED with fwd). Yeah, the mustang would have been high on the list. If I fell back on practicality and a bit more "class" some of the others mentioned would have been shopped. I don't mind the Mercedes 230 coupe either, but its a bit pricier too. The BMW's are too pricey for what you get, and our one local dealer is full of @$$holes. The Audi's are too unreliable to be considered--fool me once on those.

The new '05 Mustang GT has its exhaust tuned to sound almost identical to the '04 Mach 1, which is completely bad ass.

I guess at times I'll wonder if I made the right decision, but I have to think that it'd be completely usless from December to March, when there will be ice and snow. Nothing like making car payments for 4 months, when you can't use it. Plus, it seems that they spin out very easy, and usually in the blink of an eye from what I've read. - Mike[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Probably another used/new WRX, a STi, or a FXT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnin0 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Audi S4 or Porsche 911...oh wait....I would get those cars even now if I had the money. But I don't so in the price range .... can't think of a good one. I'd stick with the WRX Wagon I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaqtly Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I sold my 04 WRX wagon to get my Legacy, so I probably just would have kept the WRX. If I had gotten another car it probably would have been an STi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTCanada Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Would likely have traded my WRX wagon for a loaded FXT. Since the Impreza and Forester platforms are basically the same the STi wagon suspension, tranny mount, shifter, turboback exhaust and some other bits would have (or could be made to) fit and made it an interesting machine.
