Trade in 2013 Prius?

Hah literally was gonna type that very same sentence.

Also anyone that tries to insinuate that a prius and wrx drive about the same have never driven both.

Have you actually driven both? I haven't but I don't think I'd get the opportunity to rent a WRX anyhow.

I don't need to drive a Prius to dislike it. I've ridden in two. Solid meh.

WRX on the other hand....wife has one 😀

And I'm not anti-environment. My DD is a CR-Z.

How you like your CR-Z? I thought about that one too as my wife has an accord and I love love love the way it drives.

It's actually quite fun given the short wheelbase and torque. Of course I went the 6MT. The only downside is the beam axle out back. Mid-corner bumps are not fun.

I have, and I prefer my 335xi over both...or 135i, depending on if there's snow or not.

What does that have to do with the topic of this thread?

Well I test drove the Focus ST and honestly found it kinda meh. It was fast and all but seats pretty much suck and it's a pretty loud car.

The Honda dealer happened to be across the street from the Ford so walked over and for shits and giggles test drove the Accord Coupe LX-S with 6MT. It's a 4cyl and bigger car then the Ford but damn was it a blast to drive. Seats are super comfy which was expected from my wife's 2012 Accord Sedan. If I could go back in time to over a year ago and didn't need the gas mileage at the time the Accord coupe with 6s manual is what I would have bought no contest.

All that is left is do we really want to take the ~2k hit on the Prius. Based on what dealer offered for Prius the car payment actually stays the exact same as what we were paying for the Prius so we effectively just add an extra year of payments.
