that i didnt buy one sooner
i dont really have any dislikes about my car (2003 wrx).
i think the only things i would complain about are the drivers floor mat creeping alot, the upper cup holder being obnoxious some times, and the insurance for my 22 year old self.
everything else is good times.

5-speed is not as smooth or as crisp as my Integra's was.

Brakes could be beefier, but they're fine for reasonable driving. Very cramped in the backseat (I've been back there before and it ain't fun for a guy that's 6'1"). That's about it. You should buy one

The V6 accord coupe does 0-60 in 6.0 flat and 1/4 in 14 something... not so weak... peak hp is more than a wrx, not that peak hp means much. do agree about the shifter though, subaru must have the worst of all japanese cars

jamester, i agree with your 3-5... i find i need to shift into a lower gear than i want to when turning to avoid the molasses at low rpms. i feel like i overpaid too, but man it is the most fun you can get for the money in a new car

You could always change to the STi 6-speed
And IMHO, I think the interior fit and finish is actually quite handsome

The only thing I dislike about my WRX is waiting to cool down the Turbo and Then the first 3 weeks learning how to drive a Turboed All wheel drive car cause it's alot different then a fwd.
