The WRX, however, is running the FA20 , so you get that torque at 2000rpm and taper off after 5-6k. Get use to the loud ass cabin noise also, although they did add sound dampening in the windows. Get winter tires if you live in a snowy area immediately, as the Dunlop's are atrocious on sleek roads. I didn't modify my 17' WRX as yet, but the first mod (aside from possibly the Pilot Supersport tires from Michelin) is gonna be a stage 1 access port. People swear by air intakes, but a lot of research I've seen shows it does a little to nothing to give you horsepower. Gonna get red calibers, possibly a short throw shift knob, Diode lights, an n NVidia q300 exhaust, among other things.



Mileage is pretty bad on these things too, I'm afraid. I've never owned a scion/brz, but a WRX isn't any better. And it can get quite expensive down the road for parts.

Yeah, first and second gear are rough. Anyway I've been experimenting with speeds and gears to get the most out of my miles per gallon. As of right now I get about 31.2 miles per gallon on Highway. Again, my Scion was getting 23 on the highway. I didn't break the bank to get this joint...so I'll be saving up just in case something catastrophic happens.

@Genocide o can't post pictures from my phone. But it's not a hatch back style. It's like a sport sedan. Perfect for a step dad who still wants to have fun driving.
