A turbo, AWD, compact sedan

A tiny, featherweight, mid-engine, RWD purist's sports car.

Methinks you have some strange cross-shopping tendencies.

Barry, not to get in the middle of you and Mothers fight over the supreme turbo family car. But have you driven a MS3.

It makes me want to shoot my self. The turbo is soooo weak. I have never understood why the car does so good in reviews. I drove the 08 I bought for Sinsin for a week and a half, it was not the car that the Magazines say it is.

I took a short test drive of the 09 wrx when the power was boosted up and I must say it is not a great car but I think better than the MS3.

This looks too busy to me. Like a bunch of angles collided almost, but not quite, randomly.

^ Agreed, Subaru hasn't had a cohesive design concept for, well... ever? Luckily, it has what it needs for its audience, - an aggressive face and wide fenders to stuff deep offset wheels into.

Looks like the STi sedan is coming soon. That's what Subaru seems to be hinting at when asked by the the media.

Truth be told, I haven't. I was in the back seat with 3 other ppl in a left over 09. That car freakin PULLED man. The dealer was throwing it around. It felt very quick and taut plus the exhaust note was booming. If I needed a quick FWD it would be at the top of the list from that alone. I wouldn't buy it off of that alone. I would definitely have to drive it. There must've been something wrong with the one u drove. I mean it's 280lb torque hits fairly quickly even though it drops off at the top.
