I saw one at the dealership the other day and quite liked the look of it. The price is right too. Sooooo has anyone driven one yet? I'm gonna go test drive it sometime, this one wasn't even licensed yet. I'm tossing up on wether to spend more on mods for my car or trade in on something different. I'm kinda wanting something a bit smaller and more fun to drive but I've spent heaps of money and time on my car so can't make my mind up. I'm just after people's real opinions of this car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of stuff on speedhunters about it.It as no where near the power of a turbo'd falcon but it will out handle the sh*t out of it. There is also already an immense of aftermarket support for them.How much was the dealer asking and was it the base or the top model? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting real good reviews in the states it is. Plus don't mind the look of it at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the interior and LSD? At that price it would make for a very reasonably priced change over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS gets bigger wheels and tyres. Satnav and touch screen, dual zone climate control, leather and alacantra, HID's and some other stuff so you pretty much get your 5 grands worth.Both have LSD's.

Mechanically it may be a great car, Subaru. At $40K will put it against the new Focus ST, GTi etc. Still looks like a Toyota. I'm more interested how and why Toyota and Subaru can create a co-operative car? What happens when the relationship fails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
