MSRP of 26k. Figure 24k might be possible. Why?

Just curious on how much you've got to spend to "upgrade" to the WRX..
 
Other than gaining a backseat, just wondering if you'll like it.. When your foot isn't in it, you'll be driving an economy car (okay, that won't be often..)

That's why I said I'm not sold on on the WRX. I'm going to beat on another one this week. This time I'll drive it normal - my version of normal which appears really hard to most drivers.

I know you are looking for something with easier access to the back seat.... but, I think you'll miss the MINI, if you go for a WRX...

I will miss the Mini no matter what. Little choice. The "bundle of joy" pretty much demands something with rear seat access. I know I can get by for 10-11 months more but my wife would like it if we had two cars that could be used for family outings.
 
The Rex will never be a Mini but sometimes you gotta take what'll work.

You also gain AWD, but I think the 2009 comes with summer tires so don't use that as too much of a selling point.

I live in San Diego - AWD is about as useful here as storm windows on a house.
 
Juice, maybe you can clarify something - the Suby sales guy told me the WRX is FWD-biased until there is slip. I know the STI is RWD biased and I thought all over Subys are 50/50, Scary thing - the guy said he used to be a service advisor for them and just became a salesperson.

Manual tranny Subies, except the STI, are 50/50 in terms of front/rear power split. The STI has a default, which can be changed by the driver, of 41/59 I believe. The 4EAT equipped Subies have a FWD-biased AWD.

This was a manual. Weird that SA wouldn't know that...

He probably sells a lot of automatics..
 
Only the sticks have the 50/50 split..
 
I have to say, that the handling part of the AWD system surprised me (in a good way).. Unfortunately, my Impreza has crappy tires and a not that great suspension... But, the steering/power inputs are pretty darn good!
