Default Convince me "Why should i get a Subaru/WRX?"

Right now im running with the Honda gang , yet i support Nismo more. And right now i lookin for a new car. I heard this "WRX, 5.2 seconds in 0-60mph, all wheel drive insures confidence on wet/snowy road conditions, rally racing world champions." Well tell me why should i get a WRX?

I did a little reseach, but not totally confidence of their quality, or oem/aftermarket parts avaliblity, or parts pricing on the market. Are they expensive to repair? I kno tat sumone did post about their quality prior to mines, but theres not enough info to convince me that they are better than hondas.

i ment Nissan. I love the G35, but my parents says they seem a lil tacky and dont approve its bulky look. I know its my car, but its their investment too. Well i just want to kno other ppls' experiance, so i dont have to repeat theirs. A test drive is one thing, but how bout the bill after i pick it up from the mechanic? is its parts pricing high or low?

Comparing the WRX to your current car should be all the convincing you need

Parts are definetely a little pricy compared to the Honda aftermarket parts but, mods on a turbo car = big power increases Where as with a N/a car the prices cant be to high due to lack of performance enhancement.

N/A header back exhaust system = around $350-$600
My turboxs turbo back was $1200

Bottom line is that modding the WRX is pretty expensive but it's worth the $$$
