Heavens No. Based upon what I’m reading, I can tell you this guy was running this car hard with a low octane (below 91) meth mix. That is what killed the first engine and it’s probably doing the same to the second. Hydrolock????? Sure buddy.......it’s definitely hydrolock. Dumbass. Crack pipe all day.

Completely agree. Why is it that when people hear “M-Series engine” they think parts and maintenance costs are through the roof. Not so people. Not so.

Look. This one’s easy. No matter how many sprinkles you put on a shit pile—-it’s still a shit pile.

This car is overpriced by $2K. The 3SGTE had some serious issues if I recall. First, the manifold faces tended to prematurely warp and the turbine shaft was incredibly weak and often broke under high boost. Despite the mods and condition, this is a crack pipe at that price.

Ahhhh. So what. I get the same feeling of aloofness every time I leave a liquor store. Powerball and Mega Millions tickets in hand of course. I even refer to the clerk as Jeeves.

The fact that you are critiquing something as overhyped as a Wrangler does indeed make you a shit disturber. Proudly and rightfully so I might add.

I would love to see a breakdown of the 32% of loans that are upside down. How many are for domestic models? What is the age demographic and average dollar amount rolled?

Yeah. I hear ya. If only they made a sub $50,000 turbo performance car like the kind we grew up with. What the hell is the matter with you Japan??

I doubt they would do that well here in the Midwest. Especially since Subaru offers an AWD alternative with more power.

I’ll be honest. The door sills are a little too deep. Found myself banging my toes on them getting out of the car. Other than that, not much.

Not sure you are correct about the added weight. The WRX and BRZ use roughly the same tranny and are still around 3000 lbs. Pretty light for 265-275 hp.

I’m inspired by this piece. If only Subaru were to realize my vision of a lifted Impreza that would be themed a go-anywhere-do-anything vehicle that was safe and fun to drive. I’d even give it a name. I’d call it a Crosstrek (catchy isn’t it?). They would sell thousands of them.

My neighbor bought one new. It took him all of 3 weeks to figure out it was crap on wheels. Take it from me. If you try and mod shit, you still have shit. Please let these poor excuses for transportation die peacefully. Please.

The engine is great. Other mods also nice. Exterior in decent shape based on photos. However, given the age and mileage and lack of AWD, the price should be about $3500-$4000 less.

Has anyone ever seen a G500 off-road? Anywhere?

They have one. It’s called a gas guzzler tax.

He is jesting. And so is the 2011 Wrangler guy.

Just get a Subaru. An Impreza hatchback loaded is around 26k and has a ton of Safety features plus AWD.
