What's up? I'm currently driving an 02 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ (meh) Had it for 20 months now, and in about 4 months I can start lookin at new cars. I have the WRX in mind, looks like a sweet car, and not a bad price. Can anyone give some pros and cons of the lil scooby? I've never driven one, hardly seen one for that matter. Thanks, I look forward to becoming a member of this community

...hmmm...pros...EVERYTHING, sweetest car I've ever driven. And as for cons...there's that...no, that's a pro too...well maybe the...nah...that's another pro...Oh yeah, got one! You'll love it so much you won't ever stop driving it and then you waste a bunch of money on gas and mods...and then you'll love it more and then spend more money on mods...It's a freakin vicious cycle

LOL I can't, I've already fallen victim to that a few times in the past. At like the beginning of 2003 I tried to trade the Lancer in for a Montero (BTW I got the Lancer 10/20/01) And it didn't work, I got hella upset, and I was upset for a while. Then a few months ago I tried to trade it in for a 03 Lancer (good thing it didn't work out) and I was upset for a while. I get in this phase where I can't think of anything but cars. It's bad. So when the time comes, I will go look at them. STOP HOUNDING ME!! lol

Sorry, it's just that I get all giddy when I think about my car and so I want to spread the joy and make sure everyone has a Scooby to love. jk, it's cool, I understand how you feel, I've been there before with the car fever, it gets to be very expensive.

Well, with the turbo it's not that big a deal, it's like driving any car with decent power, only you'll notice the response won't be there at low rpms (turbo lag) and so you'll kinda have to relearn how to take turns so that you're not taking them too slow or at lights if you're slowing down for a light and get a green and you wanna take off quicker than usual you'll usually be in too high a gear. That's what I noticed the most, that I have to downshift more than I think I need to to keep it at a good power range. Also, torque steer, this car actually has enough power to give you torque steer. You'll floor it and if you ain't ready for it it could push you to one side. This is true of most sports cars but since the rex is the fastest car I've owned I never realized it existed. This is just my .02 cents from my own experience.
