320i, sport package, manual, fold down rear seats, cloth, manual seats, no sunroof. Cheap and ideal. Why can’t we have that?
WRX’s should be safe buys too, here in CA they’re pretty much the car equivalent of the Tacoma in the used market. STI’s are even better, with clean-titled ‘08 models still easily going for $25k+.
Sure it had a pretty design, but that ad accompanied by with its “Expensive means it’s good” marketing took away any sympathy I have for its inevitable death.

If I lived in less urban setting and didn’t have many outdoor-related hobbies (which requires hauling gear + occasional snow), I’d…
