no AWD vehicle compares to the Skylines ATESSA-ETS Pro 9000 rpm clutch drop gets you AWD in 1/5 of a second (0.200seconds)

oh yeah and i second the view on Quattro.. i was reading (and ill find the link again) how quattro is basically FWD till it detects slippage and transfers power.. Subarus is constant full time 50/50 torque split AWD.. unless you have a STi Type RA..

and the new STi has SureTrac LSD front and rear baby.. w00t !!
See now thats gay. Why have AWD when it only works when the front tires begin to slip. If you are going to have AWD you have to have it full time.

So is the car worth the money or what. See Ive been kinda nervous in my LITTLE CIVIC for some time and once I rode in the Impreza I was sold on the interior room (I was in the back seat and had room) also the fact that it was fast handled very well and was under $35000. kinda all got me. See I spent $20000 for my Civic SI (2000-thus the name b16a2pwr) and it was 2 doors and small and not that fast.

One of the best things about the car is that modifications can be done without VOIDING the warrenty. that is beautiful...

So is the car worth the $$$$$$. Thanks

Car is definately worth the dollars..

and mods will *maybe* void your warranty.. for example dont expect to raise the HP and then have Subaru of America fix your tranny should you grenade it.. most dealers will not do warranty work if you have mods.. the few who do are good about it.. but it doesnt give you an open ticket.. pays to get to know your Subaru Dealer..

if your serious about getting one.. PM me and ill give you the low down on getting a good deal

The quattro awd system has been tested by audi up to like 950hp I think. Only problem is the transmissions although vag is going to start making a new line of transmissions designated by Mxxx (xxx being amount of torque it can handle for example the New Beetle Turbo S will have a M250 tranny for 250 ft lbs)
