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

it's not SO much the turbo that hurts gas mileage, it's the AllWheelDrive system.
Engine Hp is 227 ish, actual wheel horse power is 172 ish (proven over and over on Dynos from Dynojets to mustang dynos).. a lot of loss through the drivetrain of 3 differentials... They are freakin' sweet though, gotta love the technology in the WRX and Evo series..

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?

Krakkhenz, I love your truck
Besides my Yaris I have a Mazda B3000 which is very handy in some situations!
