I test drove a Redline last month. The things that turned me away from it:Originally Posted by Cobrajet
How about the Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice. I looked into a yellow Saturn Sky Redline, but two things stopped me -- the name "Saturn" and the name "Sky".
- the price ($34k sticker)
- insanely poor factory tune (end up hunting under every rock in the state and spending a small fortune on a custom tune, only to find out the exhaust, turbo, and intercooler need a swap)
- ONLY convertible, no hard top option (not a convertible fan at all)
- lastly, my $25k WRX, with $4 worth of mods, outperforms in across the charts.... worth noting the argument I got into with the salesman over this, hahaha. when i told him the drive was fun, but still disappointing, he pointed to my WRX in the lot (not knowing it was mine) and said it would "send that car to the pits crying". I guess that's what car salesmen get paid to say, but he is wrong, heh.
What I did like was the numbers and the fun factor. Insanely fun little car to drive and I think it looks great. Poor man's exotic design. However, for the price of the car all else listed above, I would just assume get the '08 STI. All the bang for all the buck.
