Said car is much smaller, much newer, a bit lighter, and has a gasoline engine that's significantly smaller.. and gets less than 1/2 of the MPG.

My TDI golf has 140hp, 240lb/feet and gets 41 combined tank average :) It gets off the line just as well as my old 1.8t GLI did, but it's a hell of a lot more fun to drive. Just pisses me off that diesel has gone up over a dollar since I bought it a year ago.

WRX: Mullet edition?

I was looking at that car last night when searching for wagons and even though it's over priced at first I thought good things...

...until the images of the front end loaded on my phone.

The nice thing is even with the rise in price, it doesn't SEEM like I'm spending much more, it usually just adds maybe a couple dollars to my total cost to fill the tank.

I haven't noticed it going up that much beyond the dip in the summer and higher winter prices which happens every year (and comes with crappier fuel econ due to winter blends :argh:). Didn't you recently move from TX to CO? That would account for 20 cents of your price difference.

Have you tried talking to Dave White? He's the indy shop in Washoe Valley. He's helped me buy and sell a few. The best part is he's no-BS. He'll tell you if the car is a junker, how it's been maintained, etc. If you don't have the number, shoot me an email/PM and I'll send it to you.

Nah, I've been out here 6 years at this point. When I bought the car in July 11, diesel was cheaper than unleaded :( Now it 3.85 vs 3.22.

At least it went down 15 cents yesterday. The light came on right as I pulled in to the station. 13.7 gallons and got 565 miles out of the tank. Best I ever got in the GLI was 330, and they both took about the same amount to fill up.

Hey FedEx, how dare you deliver something before your "delivered by" time.
Holy gently caress. The rear isn't great but it's alright. That front end though. God drat. It'd look probably really good if it was a stock front end.

If they used the Camaro front end too it might've looked...okay(?), at least it's somewhat squared off. I'll be damned if I'm doing the photoshop though.

Very strange to see a picture of basically the back of my own car in this thread. He needs to fix his badges as they like to fall off on the 9-2x and probably other SAAB models.

I had to do that with mine but I used these instead of stock:

Got it. I personally like the more subdued look of the 9-2X, rather than the way curvier original Impreza styling, and they definitely shouldn't be mixed.
