Opinions on the 2.5RS

[Paradox]

I'm just wondering what you guys know/think about the Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS. Personally i really like them. yes i know they are n/a, but still awd is really sweet. my buddy is going to look at one, and i'm just gauging some opinions on them.

i know a guy that has one and autocrosses with it, loves it, handels great, decent power....

there kind of expensive though, id rather get a turbo awd DSM for the money. although you could swap a newer turbo wrx engine in the 2.5 rs, but its a bitch to do cuz of the weird ass wiring in those cars.....

dont know id buy one, id certianly consider it if i had the money, but i think theres other cars out there that may be a little better.......

My ex had one, a two door one. I really wanted one, but she let me drive it and it was like driving a civic....there was just no pull. Great handling, though. I also wanted to get one.

Josh, who's considering gettin one?

Who needs VTEC when you got torque?!

[Paradox]

brandon was thinking about it, but the person took it off the market b/c the tranny needed to be replaced
