So the dealer also lt me know I could get a WRX with 70k or so on it for 7 grand or so. More than I want to pay for a winter beater, but they are indeed fun cars.

That's the one, not bad eh?
I also concidered the option of selling M5 and buying an old 944 turbo S project to balls out for local SCCA , but then I'd be stuck back with no winter car :dunno: :dunno:
I'm the most indecisive person on the face of the planet.
Ah yeah and my current wintery vehicle my Chevy 1500 gets at least 3 offers a day :] I'm just holding out because it has a week left in the paper.

The wagon isn't bad. Only 70 lbs or so heavier, right?
I love the WRX and is it super fun to drive, but the wagon looks a bit like an outback.
Hold out for the sedan!
man, i'm a sucker for hatchbacks. i love the cargo space, and frankly i like the lines better.
there's not a car that's available in both sedan and hatchback that i don't think the hatchback is better looking. i might be a little strange. :dunno:
that wrx looks like a really good deal to me.
+1 on the hatchback fetish ;) I have one too. I love my little Hyundai hatchback. My first car, a Dodge Colt, was a small hatchback also. Three cheers for hatchbacks. :cheers:
Roof rack and cargo space are SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET for snowboarding. You can fill every seat and still get everyone's gear.
I've gone up to the hill in quite a few different vehicles and the best was a little hatchback with a roof rack... The second best is the Exploder... Roof rack, lots of cargo room... and a 12" sub! :thumb:
to continue the hatcback threadjack, when i was in Ireland, i fell in love with the peugeot 107

my parents had a peugeot 405 station wagon when i was learning to drive and, while being pretty light on hp, the handling on that thing was excellent, especially for a full size wagon.
It looks like a giant Smart Car:

I should be ashamed to say it, but I'm likin the new Kia Spectra5
(http://www.kia.com/spectra5/images/spectra5-2-800.jpg)
Looks pretty good to me, and for my first car I pay for, I'll get a NEW one of these or a used Hyundai Tiburon GTV6.
it's possible they've improved the Spectra, but i know that at one point they had really bad crash test ratings.
i was really close to buying a rio wagon. not nearly as sexy as the spectra, but cheap. :thumb:
Ouch. I like the Spectra, but don't talk about the Mazda 3 as if it's similar in any way to the Kia. Those Mazda 3's are just gorgeous
The looks of the new Mazda's are very impressive.
