Good luck with the WRX Tranny! 30,000+ miles and sayonara. Even the Subaru rally team replaces them contantly.
I would still buy one, I have not heard about the power increase except for the STI version but it is getting a face lift in January, no more round headlights

Best of luck I wish I was driving a WRX! Of course I love my P5 but 227 hp and all wheel drive would certainly be fun!
Oh well guess I get there the hard way
So how much to convert a FWD to an AWD?

By the way, I'm a little envious.

The fabric on the seats seems to be really crappy. The side bolsters in my friend's wrx wore holes in them after he had the car for only 4 months.

Yeah but the seats hold you soo much better than in the Protege. Other than that, I think the WRX has just an average interior.

True, but you would really think that on a $25k car, they'd at least use a decent material on the seats. Yeah, the seats hold you really well, but who cares if they freakin fall apart after a couple months.

Shame you didn't do a 2003 WRX, as they're 20hp up on the 2002...247 vs. 227.
