I would've passed on leather if it was an option. I just dont need it, it would get to beat up, etc. I would've got the sunroof if it were an option, i like those, but it wasnt gonna keep me from buying the car.

hey you're totally right, i was just reciting out loud what the dealer was telling, or feeding to me, whichever.

The idea that the WRX is a real rally car is just as absurd as SUV advertising showing off road adventures. The only time those things are off road is when they roll over in a ditch.

anyone see the blue rally car in the WRX only brochure.... it has projector headlights, similar to a morette conversion, looks much better. well, the car also has much wider fenders, roof scoop, roll cage.. blahblahblah.

This car was made for purists. If you want a Sunroof or whatever, get a different model really. No leather saves weight. No power Seats saves weight. Aluminum hood (heh) saves weight. The tires are iffy but they're easily replaced once they're worn down.

This is not meant to be a "cruising" type car. The 40s/50s crowd buying them probably went to the dealer looking for a Forester or something and saw it sitting there and wanted it as a replacement. Or they could just be as enthusiastic as we are.

Final word is, it's meant to be for people who know what WRX/WRC is and know the compromises made for performance.

It's like asking why the trunk is so small in a Porche.

Hey! The trunks in my Porsche are nearly as big as the SVT's! (Yes, there are 2 trunks)

Ya know this car is really growing on me although I saw a yellow one driving around and I swear the took hundias yellow of the tiburon...puke yellow...but the other colors are really growing on my..A sunroof would be nice but I could careless about leather..one key though....do the rear seats fold down..bein in a band they have to for me of else its a no go....
I got bored(this is only tlike the 3rd thing I have done on photoshop so don't expect anything too wonderful. I just thought this looked cool lowered with bigger wheels and a color change(p.s. I did notice that I didn't change the part of the body that you can see through the rear window..oh well)

I have a suggestion for you...get a WRX decal made for the bottom/rear of the black panel, I think that would look good! Just a little addition to a great and in my opinion GREAT LOOKIN' car
