    Is there a better way to persuade one into getting an STi?

    And the interior.... wow. I am SO glad they redid it from scratch. Dual material leather with very swank lit gauges and wrap around cockpit. +2 for Subaru in that dept finally.

    i would LOVE to have the subaru for playing, but i think all that would get me is arrested and my new ride impounded (we dont have legal areas to do things like that in colorado...the closest we have is frozen lakes )

    my reasoning behind the truck- better mileage than an STI, i can pull a boat (once i get one)...and i can make my VX into the trail rig i want it to be
    ps- give me a chip and an exhuast...then we will race STI vs. diesel

    I just picked up this zippy little go cart about a week ago. It’s a 1990 Ford Festive, basically it's a Mazda 121 with Ford badges. I love this thing! It’s fast fun to drive and it has a real SOHC Mazda 4 banger in it.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    hate to burst your bubble, but if you look under the hood you will see your car was made in Korea by Kia. First car they ever made for US sale.

    Burst my bubble? I’ve had three of these little gems. The Mazda 121, Kia Pride and the Ford Festival are the same car. Kia and Mazda are one in the same. Just about every Kia made in the last 23 years is a Mazda or has a Mazda drive train.

    If I had a cool god-like name, maybe I'd drive a girly jeep too - it'd have to be Proton tho.

    Hahaha! Hay, I had to do something to get her off my back about the VX and the fact that she will NEVER drive it.
