although a performance gain would be nice thats not what im looking for. sure if i could insure a wrx/sti i would without hesitation but its not fisable at the moment. as mentioned i love the subaru for its looks (maybe not the bugeye though) so.
the Passat shifts like you wouldnt expect for an almost 1700kg car whereas the impreza is around 300kg lighter so im hoping performance wont be too lacking in the GX. either way it'd be adequate for me for now. I thought i could buy a GX, learn about these cars, experience owning one and driving one then if i moved onto a wrx/sti in the future id have plenty of knowledge about them.
either way im glad the GX's are still respected here and not lauhged at.
thanks for the welcome.
