I had a limited model which had a "premium" stereo and crappy leather. Just thought I would let you know of the downfalls before you pull the trigger. The wrx is so practical though, and the boxer rumble is amazing. My subi was great, and despite a couple of flaws, it is an excellent car.
P.S. The sti is going to be released on the 14th, maybe try waiting for the new body style. If not, you'll probably be able to get a deal on a 14.
Here's the thread I made when I switched from my wrx.
New owner, from WRX to Z |
I actually went ahead with the trade, I've had the WRX since last Thursday night. I'm extremely happy with the trade - I recognize what you're saying about the interior, and the lack of luxury, but those weren't deal breakers for me. You're right that I did originally want a luxury car, but after a great deal of internal debate (between myself and my fiancee), the features of the Subaru won out on priority.
I ended up with a 2014 base hatch - I had no desire for any of the premium/limited features (I actually prefer cloth upholstery in AZ, and I'm too tall to enjoy sunroofs). I really wanted a hatchback and they stopped making them for this year, so I took home one of the last ones they will likely make for a long time.
So far, I'm very happy with the choice. I have only a few very small complaints, but the list of Pros vs Cons is heavily weighted in my favor.
