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! > Of course the insurance is very expensive for turbo cars. 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. - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it hurt when I walked.
