birdy · 01-19-2006, 04:17 PM

replacing it, I love the thing to death but 18city and 20-22 highway is KILLING ME at the pump.

Jeez, isn't the WRX a 4 banger? Turbo eats into the gas mileage a lot I guess?

I have 2 Focus, one a Zetec powered hatchback and the other a SVT Focus hatchback. Lots of fun to drive and I autocross my Zetec powered focus.

I cannot wait till I get to test drive the Yaris. Not sure on color yet, just want a liftback with a stick.

I have a 1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen. This is the car they invented the term "tourque steer' for. Fun to drive and I still can get about 25 miles per gallon, but I really want something smaller.

I worked at a Toyota/Scion dealer for a few months and drove an xA. Loved it but I have no interest in driving a 5 door.

I am looking at getting a 3 door Yaris prolly the metallic blue or absolute red color, not sure which.

BTW, nice wheels on the Subie, what are they?

I believe that my old 83.5 dodge Shelby Charger is the torque steer king!!! Trying to drive straight and going through the gears quickly, you would get pulled over on suspicion of DUI because of the weaving associated with the torque steer in that car! Later Dodge models were designed with equal length half shafts to combat this condition.

A Shelby Charger with tourque steer? The car only had 127 lb-ft of tourque.

The Viggen's chassis is almost that old, and it has 250 lb-ft of tourque.
