Cece's new ride...

This just popped up in my YouTube subs today.

If you don't mind buying used, put a Subaru dealer out with some feelers for a used Forester XT Sport. !@#$ing mean machines with room to boot and stellar AWD capabilities. I was on the hunt for one used a couple years ago and they are out there, in the range of $15k-$24k (hold value well) and well taken care of from what I saw. Ended up getting my STi hatch of course, heh.

My mom recently picked up a N/A turbo 2010 Forester, very plain and auto, but new for $19k. She had bought it just before our big snows here and it was excellent. No turbo but that thing is still right damned peppy.

I sound like I am on Subaru's payroll. :o I just trust the hell out of mine and they have been very reliable to me. And the mod and aftermarket world is ENDLESS on these things. :yesy:

Yeah Jay I gotta give you props too - your FJ is the coolest I've seen... still an FJ tho :p

All this talk about new cars....pffft! Stick with the old goodies. :laughing:

Seriously though, I would have a VERY hard time trying to pick a modern car if I was in the market...

So CeCe.....WHAT DID YOU BUY?

Yes, I'm on Facebook.

Yes folks... she has a new ride! Her first NEW car ever! We just got home from running around all day, but we took some pics. You will just have to wait a bit longer. :evil: Cece will post them soon!!!

For around 23k, I have a fully loaded, Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback GTS! Heated black leather seats, auto (CVT w/paddle shifters), Rockford Fosgate sound, power sunroof, and getting around 28mpg to boot! 5yr/60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 5yr/unlimited mile roadside assistance and a 10 yr./100k mile drivetrain/powertrain! Yippy!

Sweet, get some 31" ATs, and you will be good to go!

I like it!! Great choice in colors too, my favorite and black leather!

Looks great! The car is not bad also. ;Dy;

Enjoy, Mark

Yeah... they didn't have Proton as an option...:bwgy:

Dunno if it has enough headroom for me, but that's a nice looking car...enjoy!

Looks good, too bad it's not an Evo :) Just playing, sweet looking ride, bet your happy!

I think you made the right choice, Cece, the Lancer has a WAY cooler looking front end compared to those other cars that WormGod likes...

:laughing: Bart

x2

but im glad that you stuck to the japanese AWD market... they make great vehicles and they are very reliable. i think you'll be really happy in the long run.

your always welcome to drive my ride if you ever make it out to moab again (wait, can you drive a manual??? maybe you cant drive my car lol)

Actually, I don't think the Lancer CVT is AWD. Only the GTS, Ralliart, and EVO, IIRC. Correct me if I am wrong Cece. I don't feel like researching it, heh.

Bart, I resemble that remark. It's not the busted arse grill I care about, it's the rear. ;)

Her Lancer is the GTS Sportback that is FWD not AWD... The Ralliart model was $8000 more, and it didn't come with leather!?! We already have a list of mods in mind... I have to get her the Ralliart hood, and the rims off the Eclipse Spyder. :drool2:

Me too! Lovin' my new ride more and more everyday. I already gave her a talkin' to. "DON"T SCREW UP!" I wanted a manual, but through many people saying how much it would suck to have stick in the city and the lack of fully loaded manuals, I decided "Meh... I got a 10yr./100k mile warranty, I'll take the auto!" Plus...It's got paddle-shifters! :bgwb:

If I am bringing it to Moab, I gotta show you all a thing or two...:laughing:

That looks like Coastie's version of Lancer mixed with VX!
Paddle shifters..... I want paddle shifters!
