i'm no bandwagoner. if i was, i would stick with the 240 and go full drift. but priorites change, and i need something a little newer and a bit more reliable. not to say the CA isn't reliable. i drove it for 25K without a single issue.including a 1000 mile road trip to Myrtle beach and back. till i got an electrical problem and things went down hill from there. I've wanted a WRX since the day they debuted in the US.
