Replying to: blueguydotcom (Feb 18, 2009 11:08 am) I haven't driven the 5 spd on the new WRX but I'm sure it's fine. If you don't like the feel you could always get a short shifter which improves the 'crispness' of the shifter. BMWs in my experience have had kinda rubbery shifters so I would say it's a wash between the 2 cars. I have the 6spd in my STi and it's just extra work as a daily driver because there are more gears!  It's an interesting comparison you have- they're totally different cars, in totally different price ranges as well. The BMW can be double if you buy an optioned 335i. If you stick with the 328i it's less, but then again, it's a lot less performance. Good luck, 2 great cars. tom

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 19, 2009 9:02 am) VW does something similar with their manuals. I don't get why they refuse to give us exceptionally tall 6th (or 5th gears). We're manual drivers...we want to shift for more power. I used to love going from 6th to 4th in my 330i. Need to pass at 80, well downshift and blip the throttle...boom all the torque is ready. |

From a dealer in Evanston, IL (I'm in Madison, WI): MSRP: $18,190 Sales Price: $16,329 Auto Show Discount: ($250) Doc Fees: $151 I'm not going to include taxes as YMMV depending upon state, etc. So, the before tax/fee price is $16,079 and the before tax price is $16,230 which I feel is incredibly fair and I made a deposit and commitment to purchase. They were going to give me 5DR for $500 more but I'm not sure...others have thoughts on that?

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Feb 20, 2009 8:20 pm) That's a good deal- recently priced one out for a friend here and it was $16600. Hope you like your new Subie! tom |

I got my desired car for what I think is a great price. I was looking at the Honda Fit (base model) and it was less than $1K off of this price and the Sport model was higher, both in MT, so this feels just like a fantastic deal for a much better, bigger, safer, versatile and nicer car, comparatively. 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 5-Door Hatchback 9LA MSRP $18,690 Invoice $17,893 Selling Price $17,195 Rebate $1,000 Grand Total $16,195 Document Fee $151.65 Temp License $40 Grand Total $16,386.65 |
