    The main reason is I'm having problem keeping my car in garage. The garage is valet type parking and my car get scratches all over it. When I complaint nothing is happening. I just don't want to pay them to scratch my car and thinking to keep my car at boston. I also need the car to commute so that lease deal is coming into my mind.
    I went and test drive 2008 last friday. My wife complaints about the cheap interior.
    My complaints: understeered, clutch release high and breaks.
    I will keep on searching some used cars as you guys suggest. Any other cars do you have in mind?

    My complaint with my 05 wrx wagon.

    Bad understear at slower speeds. On the highway it is not to bad bt at slower speeds in longer turns it really is noticable.

    Wet traction. I never hydroplane but when you push it even a little bit you will drive through the front tires.

    Rattles. My door vibrates when the stereo is loud and the window is closed. And compaired to similar cars the streo sucks!!!. I bought speakers and an amp but have not instaled it yet.

    The antilock breaks in the snow are slugish and choppy. Luckily downshifting in all-wheel-drive in the snow kicks ****.

    I love my car, just some things to consider. I looked at mazda, mitsubishi, volkswagon and they either felt cheeper or had more recorded problems at the time.

    I was in a new mazda and the build qulity seemed pretty nice now. I hated the interior. The mitsubishi looks nice and the guys on top gear showed that the rear will give out before you drive throught the front (and has slight oversteer). I wish my car did that. Lokked like a blast to drive. I do not like the pattel shifter at all.

    What does "you will drive through the front tires" mean?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I believe he means understeer, tight if you are a NASCAR fan.

    It is probably due to the AWD and/or limited slip diffs.

    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
