8 Reasons not to buy a WRX

Post by WANTSOM »

1. Depart home 8:00 am for work. Stop at servo for fuel. 1 rex
2. Leave servo 8:10 - turn out of servo driveway - drive around corner. Look in mirror - 1 rex
3. Drive 3 kms. turn onto M2 motorway. drive 2 kms - pass a line of cars - 2 rexs in it.
4. Join queue at Pennant Hills road underpass - 1 rex in front, 1 next to me. Thats 6 rexs, all different
5. Come out of tollgates at M2 - merging from a slower lane is, you guessed it, another rex.
6. Turn into Maquarie Park and onto Waterloo Rd. Thinking "gee how many rexs can you see in a day". The answer is well 1 more.

Drive into car park, add them up and that was 8 WRX's in 25Km's.

And I bet if you asked them why they bought one they would prob say they "like to be individuals".

Give me a Starion any day.
Never argue with an idiot, it brings you down to their level and they beat you with experience.

Yes.. at least I notice that when I drive past, people look. Although that -could- be because my Starion is a pile of junk :)

If you think a Starion gets a few looks try it with a Scorp convertible. Towing it down the M4 on saturday and every second car or so was slowing down (we were doing 80) to have a closer look. I can't wait to get it on the road.

the osman bro's did a conv WRX, 03 model i think. Lots and lots of money and fibreglass. Looks treat, though it's another WRX. A show stopper at that.
Starions are a rarity on OZ roads, it's a awesome feeling to spot another one on the road, how many WRX owners can say that??? They're almost a modern commodore. Count how many you see of them in one day. WRX's aren't that far behind....well... one day. rofl
Subaru's are a nice car to drive, don't get me wrong. If i had the money i would lurve to get my paws on a spanking new Liberty GT. :drool: Luxury, handling and power to boot. I could never part with the stazz though, there is a special place in my heart for that beast.
:D

as i would imagine, i haven't had the pleasure of this...yet, though i have come up against a R33 GTs25T, XR8 01 bug eyed model and a V8 LJ Tori. Back in the starion's prime.
All were interesting, amazingly the only one out of the bunch that was a challenge was the tori. Quick pick up lil top end, that's where i got all of them in the longer shifts. Fun but thinking back, leave that kinda stuff for the racetrack. :wink:
Why don't we go along to the wrx track meeting and cause a stir?
I think one of the many starions here would acomplish that.
:D
:oops: not mine though :oops:

I read this post and thought....what are you guys talking about...WRX are really rare!!! Then I drove home from uni...got stuck between 2 WRX's and saw 2 other RX models...
so thats a 20min drive.

20 min...
WRX/RX = 4
starions = 0.

that my 3 cents...more that two ;)

WRX's are still awesome cars, especially for the $$$ vs. what you get.

It's just unfortunate that everyone knows this, hence the uniqueness of them! :roll:


Actually, I dont see why the Liberty GT's arent more popular, they are hot!
