Quote from WestCoastTrader:

I praise Nissan for finally getting back on track with their designs.
I just cant pass over a WRX with 4wd and 300hp.
It just seems alot more fun for the money.
or maybe the evo 7

any thoughts?

=====
Nissan makes excellant rides including old Datson 240/z;
& just in case Rich Dennis reads this.
drive SLOWER than speed limit.

Go with the Subaru over the Evo.
I hear that the WRX Sti engine is bulletproof!
