but then the issue was if im spending that kind of money on a hatch, why not spend a tad more and see if i can find a clean used STI-hatch. but then i can't locate one in my area that is stock. so im like if im not going to get what at i really like anyway, just go cheap.

i found that there's no car in the mid-$20K range that i WANT. it's either sub $18K (cheap so who cares, i will buy it) or above $32K (it's out of my range for this winter beater).
Ken,

Sorry for the late reply. I have a base model 2012 with a 6sp trans. Its loaded as is(most normal features). Sticker was right at 23,900$ new. I bought it for 20,900$ used with only 4kmiles. New but used. Perfect. I certainly understand the lack of connection piece. Cars are like anything else, it just needs to feel right. Good luck no matter what you choose!

hi DLSTR- thanks. i am still looking... but getting very tired of looking and test driving. the only part i enjoy is talking to the sales guy and joking around with him and suddenly all serious kenchan game face.

<= kenchan game face

maybe this is where im going wrong... apparenly i am too comfortable making bold statements in their faces.

good choice, mr.alcheng! back in the 1980's and 1990's machined face was sort of cool. even oem wheels are stepping away from machined face.
