I really like the look of the new WRX, it reminds me of the GC.

freed up 25 hp easy since it got rid of both precats. obx makes them for the altima se-r, if you feel like putting them on, its a good 6hr install since the rear
intake manifold has to come out. or, you can just do this...

i was quite impressed they got that much out of it without any cams

no one buys a subaru for the looks, we all know they are fugly. people may hate the look of the 2015 wrx but they will sell like crazy esp
with a 6spd and auto trans. i hated the hatches though, i cant stand them. lol

You must be having some fun with it... That car is rated for 19/25, my LGT is rated the same but my realistic gas mileage is 16/25.


I have a stop sign at least every two blocks from my house to my job. I wasn't really shifting past 3k, so I just don't get it. It does get significantly better MPG on the highway. Other than the Summer tires not helping in these snow storms the AWD is great and that is mainly why I bought the car.

There's your sign. If you're just stopping and going the whole time and no cruising that's it.

The Saabaru gets ~22-23 and that's because going to work I sit in traffic on my way to and from the highway and often on the highway as well.
