I myself would have gone for an STI. But it looks like a lot of fun

Man, no leather? Other then that, very nice car. Weird how the intercooler still gets enough air even though its top mounted (I think).

Was the price 28k otd, or 28k + taxes + fees and such?

That, and I woulda floored it to see how much power there really is, then tell them to get me another model. Or say test drive a different color and say you want that one.

Hopefully when I buy a new car (doubtful since my next car has like a 15k budget and I don't wanna take the hit on a new car) I won't be in a rush so I can be there as they peel the stickers off the car. My gf's car was peeled off that morning and we were the first test drivers.

It was 28K + TTL... believe me I tried to get it lower... went to 3 different dealerships and had them working against each other to the point where one salesmen yelled at me on the phone and hung up on me.

Guess it's just too new to get cheaper.

As for the driving it part... I test drove a different car than the one I ended up getting. Simply because the one I test drove ame with the nav system... which I don't want at all. To get the color I wanted they did have to drive it from another dealership which was 52 miles away🙁. But I'm very very happy with this car. The ride is fantastic, the AWD FW biased or not handled like pure gold in the rain yesterday (I drove it all the way to philly and back).

Yeah no leather, but the cloth in this car is great... very sporty. Honestly yes I would have liked the grand touring package, leather, moon roof, heated seats... but I just didnt think it was worth the extra 3+K.

As for the break in... I had it at 120mph before I even got it home. From what I've been reading the breakin thing isn't really all that necessary these days.

It's necessary. Your manual tells you that.

Nice car, my sister just sold her 2003 (not 2003.5, there are a few subtle differences) Spicy Orange MazdaSpeed Protege. It has 170hp and 168lb-ft of torque. She had to sell it because she has knee problems and couldn't keep shifting. She's 25 and her knee problems will only be getting worse. I have the same problem, but hopefully it won't get as bad as hers. We both have arthritis in our knees and lack a certain tendon, or it's shaped the wrong way, something like that.

Stupid crooked pictures FTL. 🙁
