    Cyrk, would love to wait for fall, but that aint gonna happen. I need a car NOW, unfortunately.

    Chopper, I have driven both. Mutliple times. IMO, the Scooby was quite easily the winner of the 2 for me. I felt pretty cramped in the Evo and it felt.... unsafe for some reason. I just felt insecure in it. I dont even like sitting in the passenger seat (2 friends have them). That alone didnt allow me to really enjoy the ride at all. I do remember the engine whining like an SOB on acceleration. The one I dove was a buddy's though, and he has put about $10k into it.

    The Scooby actually felt more like an everyday ride. The only things that threw me off a bit here the lightness of the car, because I am so used to the VX.... and the constant need to shift, shift, shift, etc. Things I am sure I could get used to.

    Anyways, hell, I hijacked this thread. My apologies. *sigh*

    Any little four will keep you shifting.Gotta stay on the cam. Yes, the Subaru has quite a bit more suspension travel. Enjoy your Subaru, welcome to the one tenth club. Drive it like you have no sense. Love,Wayne

    Proud new owner of an '06 WRX Limited. The Limited package was far more than enough to make me pass up the STi. Leather interior, heated seats/mirrors, etc.... and with the power the WRX already has, I seriously am not gonna miss 300hp and less mpg.

    The shifting isnt actually so bad. The VX is the only automatic I ever owned since having my license (1/2 of my life ago), so it was very pleasing getting getting back into the 5speed motion. I am quite in love with the Scooby. The VX is still my #1 though. There is a reason the Scooby is sitting in the rain in the driveway and the VX is nice and dry in the garage right now.

    As soon as this lovely wet bucket of weather decides to leave the area, I sure will. Black and blue vehicles.... I think I will call myself, "Team Bruise".
