Replying to: rsholland (Sep 21, 2007 8:25 am) Juice quoted Edmunds' TCO 51 vs 60c/mile, which includes depreciation, largest and most ignored cost in most peoples' estimations. Sounds awfully close to 20%. So if you add synthetic oil and more frequent changes, it pretty much hits the mark, doesn't it?

Replying to: dino001 (Sep 21, 2007 8:55 am) Any how, going back to the original post that brought this up, if cost of ownership is a big concern I recommend the Impreza 2.5i Premium, which is well equipped, and ought to cost very little to own and operate. |

Replying to: volkov (Sep 21, 2007 10:41 am) Sporty cars cost more, that's fair. WRX is a compact with ownership costs on par with mainstream mid-sizers. You gotta pay to play.
