Hi All,

<sigh> Spot the boy racer huh. I gave up worrying about dragging people 20+
years ago.

Thing is Mark, the more weight is a good thing for towing bringing a
definite improvement in stability. Not to mention for a family with children
as the poster stated, a WRX might lack a little room. 

I am guessing your previous Celica was classified "sports" car (Even though
it was a Celica), try comparing the insurance for an ordinary aus6 or an
Outback/non turbo Forrester and I bet its a *lot* more than $72 a year
cheaper than a WRX turbo. For example, Falcon is around $400-$500 with full
no claims, so $72 is a significant percentage. Apples with apples mate!

I can print you a sticker cheap if you'd like a better looking car....

Same power, more weight and worse fuel economy.  Great.  So the WRX will
blow the doors off of that too!

Yeah.  Cost me a whole $6 per month more than my previous normally
aspirated car.  Dammit, now I can't afford that kidney machine for grandma.
