Should I go back?
i sold my wrx to a fellow iclub member about a year or so ago, and now i am really really REALLY missing owning one. i bought a s2000 to replace the wrx, and although it is a very fun car to drive, i think i am done with it. i want another car.
ive always wanted a miata, but that would just be downgrading, because the miata and the s2000 are essentially the same car, except with less power. plus a good friend of mine just bought one, so i can enjoy that car whenever i want
a friend of mine suggested a mazdaspeed 3, which i honestly dont mind. ive driven one and it handles awesome and im sure the car has a lot of potential. 1 thing i didnt like was that it was fwd, so i might not be able to take it to the snow or what not and torque steer!
i also played with the idea of buying another wrx. i felt that it was a great car, it has awd, so i can take the car almost anywhere, its roomy, decent power, and down right cheap.
i really want a wagon so i can start hauling a lot more stuff around, so a wrx wagon would be nice. my only gripe is that they do not have the wider fenders, and i do not know how hard it is to find wrx sedan fenders these days. also, i do not know what year i want to go with.
comments or suggestions guys? what should i do?!!

Go get a WRX wagon or maybe even a Forester XT (you can fit some wide tires without rolling or swapping fenders! Well, you sorta have to anyway cuz of the nature of the vehicle.). If you want sedan fenders, maybe try contacting anyone who has connections with salvage yards for spare parts in hopes of a crashed WRX sedan that still has a good set of fenders. Really, just go with your heart man. If you wanted your WRX back, maybe it's time to come back to Subaru.

no, get an Miata.
a miata is not a downgrade, because the moment an s2000 comes up behind you in teh mtns and you leave it behind is worth everything.
and dont tell me it isnt possible, miatas beat s2000's all the time in autoX, and AutoX pretty much equals a nice and tight mtn road.
to tell you the truth if dirt didnt exist i would own my RS, i hate driving the thing compared to my STOCK miata, unless its raining, then it comes in handy.
but miata is like, what 1/6 the price of your s2000? you really cant go wrong.
