Well the there is only one solution. JLUR.
Kamry XSE impressions and further updates
Also, how's service in the pay area for these poverty brands? If a "premium" brand like BMW treated you as horribly as they did I can't imagine Honderp, Subaru, or VW being much better. Is there anything useful on dealerrater?

Is it dumb at this point to suggest test driving one of these for ?

Naturally I want the blue .... also I am not super interested in limited editions ... usually drives the price up. Unless They have powertrain mods...

I don’t think the sti is rowdy. Focus rs is Rowdy ....
still a good car though. I liked it a fair amount. I think the spoiler sitch is just there is no need for any of it. of course but yea ... at the current point in time I’m more aligned with the wrx, it has more power down low, and a wider powerband, and it’s 6-7k cheaper new. I just don’t see the value of going sti, unless I get a 1 year old one for the same price as a wrx new.

I posted one of the gray ones for like 4k off sticker on the last page. 30k for performance pack, keyless entry, and LEDs. But I understand if color is more important than keyless entry and shit. That bloo is

Sorta it really depends. Civic sport is the most fun at 22k new... CTR just drives good but I can’t deal with the body, fors most fun but it’s a 30k used focus... Camry can go fuck itself. M3 is the fastest of the bunch and the test drives really made me realize how nice it is ...
Model 3 is still in the running... that car is simply the future

The M3 is really sweet from what you say. Just seems like too much car to be a daily, dealing with ultra-expensive parts and service and 19mpg would make me feel like I'm kind of while commuting an hour in each direction, or carrying a set of tools in the trunk. Some days even the feels that way, but I guess that I drive more than average people do.max225 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2019 6:54 amSorta it really depends. Civic sport is the most fun at 22k new...

I think a used year or two old GTI would be a better buy than the Civic sport if you're going ultimatemax225 wrote:Sorta it really depends. Civic sport is the most fun at 22k new...

Yeah they are a lot of car at around $20k, similar to my spec of Kamry which is a RWD GTI.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 12:10 pmI think a used year or two old GTI would be a better buy than the Civic sport if you're going ultimatemax225 wrote:

The bottom cushion is exactly the same, and the Recaro backs are essentially the same just with deeper side bolsters. Unless some rolled in the Recaro first and destroyed the foam, I’m rather lost on how they could have been worse.

This may be the case for sure... what was the first year for the 7 speed, was it 18 or 19?Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 12:10 pmI think a used year or two old GTI would be a better buy than the Civic sport if you're going ultimatemax225 wrote:

I’m averaging around 21, but yea $1400 in tires every 20k and $2000 every 30k if you take it to the lovely in services is quiteTarspin wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 11:48 amThe M3 is really sweet from what you say.

Once the time gets closer I think it may come down to pricing, limited/recaro STIs are around 32-4K, they used to be 41-44k new which is a significant price delta, these things bottom out at 27-30k even for 2015 models with 40/60k miles .... so getting a nearly new one seems like a good idea.
New wrx deals remain to be seen.... I honestly like all the cars but I don’t love them... so I don’t want to make long term commitment I can’t get out of without taking a bath. I think an F80 is still a better overall vehicle than everything I have driven, but the current depreciation structure is just so ... I’m ing out for a bit

I could be remembering wrong but I feel like the WRX bolsters actually hugged me somewhat, the Recaros they were 3” away from me on either side... I’m not but also not tiny, the bolstering was just annoyingly fat boy spec in the STI for a car that fee fat people buy.

Nope, all 3 seats are similar. Recaros, sti seats and limited wrx seats. All are far more relaxed than my m3 seatsD Griff wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 7:47 pmI could be remembering wrong but I feel like the WRX bolsters actually hugged me somewhat, the Recaros they were 3” away from me on either side...
