Sold the subaru wrx, now in need of a 4-door , automatic car that my wife can drive with our new son!! Any recommendations?

Legacy GT??
Do they make sport-shift out of these?

 

yeah, the LGT is available with a Sportshift Auto. Do it!!!!

 

Should have taught the wifey to drive stick.

The paddel shift on the LGT reportedly sucks.

 

new WRX? haha

 

The GT came out in 2005? right!

 

yup yup.

get a gt wagon. t3h h0tn35s!

 

2.5i auto

 

You should get a Honda.

 

What's your price range? the new v6 camry is looking damn good and heard those things aren't slow either.

 

yeah..an auto leggy or a forester auto

 

Oh man, if you have to have automatic, might as well get a Lexus IS350, the 350 only comes in shagomatic, and it's a pretty sweet looking car w/ power to boot.

 

"Sucks" is a pretty judgemental statement- especially from someone who apparently hasn't experienced it themselves.

We have a 06 LGT wagon with the auto. Manual shifting any auto trans is not the same precise experience as a manual trans. But that said, the LGT maual shifts aren't so bad. There is a lag for sure, but its consistant. I've found that under moderate to heavy acceleration you want to ask for the shift about 1,000 rpm before you want the shift to take place. The LGT's auto and Sport auto modes are already pretty good for comfortable/sporty hands-off worry free driving so I don't end up using the manual mode all that often (but its fun to have the option).

 

just curious, how much did you get for your wrx? i've been thinking of selling too.
+1 for LGT

 

yeah, except thats a 40k proposition instead of a 25k one

Keep in mind, this is for his WIFE. Not sure if shes speedracerette or not

 

just get a wrx wagon (auto) ~ problem solve ~
