2009 WRX? Oh YEAH!

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=31&article_id=7103

Oh yeah!

 

Holy, dragging!

 

The Colbalt pwnd all of em...according to R&T that is..

 

Too bad the cobalt is ugly as hell.

 

And really good on the ice... :ugh:

 

R&T sucks. All comparisons are in California. For those of you who get real weather, you'll have to do your own tests.

 

And a gm product.:eek3: I was surprised to hear that their wrx was only .01 slower then the '08 sti.

 

Haha, but of course. But I think they were basing the review on the track performance of each car. We all know our subies will walk all over Colbalts in our weather..

 

I test drove the one they got in 5 days ago at St Cloud Subaru.... Wowzers...

4 People inn the car and the body roll was bearly sensible. For a stock car, this thing is top notch. I was realy impressed.

 

id piss on that pos american crap rot in hell GM

i can't even call it american when most of the parts are made in china uke:

 

Apparently the engine they use in cobalt is a very good global engine. It would be a great car if the built quality was better and it looked more like the pontiac G5 or whatever it is.

 

Morrie's hooked me up with a Cobalt when my subie was in for accident repair.

To be fair, it wasn't the SS, but I'm guessing that there is little difference between the "plain jane" version I drove and the SS (except, obviously, drivetrain).

It was probably the second worst car I've ever driven. Period. (Worst was the Dodge Nitro :run: I tootled around NV & AZ with a couple weeks ago - CVT FTL)

It was just an awful feeling car in just about every respect.

And of course AWD FTW anywhere there is "weather" or turns. wned:

 

the lit that I read said... "slightly different trim" in ref to the turbo.

 

Thats the coolest Saturn Ion Ever!!!:ugh: ops I mean WRX:biggrin:

 

You really dont know sht about cars.

 

well there are SOME GM cars i like i drove an olds...and a ponti...i liked those..but...dont stick me in a chevy or ford...i had an engine block drop out of the freaking Chevy truck my mom use to drive...talk about like a rock scared the **** out of me and ill never drive american again...

 

Olds, Pontiac and Chevy are all GM products. For the most part they are all the same. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to rip on one and not the other. Most car problems are caused by poor maintenance no matter what the brand.

 

way to go subaru, stepped it up for sure. Is it me or do those seats look like they say recaro? in this vid

they say wrx, its even hotter in person then you could imagine.

 

Have you guys received them already then? :yumyum:

 

The one we have is already sold....I'll leave it @ that.

 

nice!!!!

 

Good power, still fugly as can be :hsugh:

 

Are those Recaro's for seats??

 

Soooo Hot!

 

Yup. If people purchase Subarus based on looks, they must be blind.

 

Funny that cause where do you think most the parts for our cars are made...



Oh and Ford also gets a lot of their parts form Meico.. so american built is BS nowadays

 

that stopped after the stopped making bugeyes

 

I was under the impression our cars were 100% Japanese

Ford builds vehicles in the US, Mexico, Canada and ... even Australia

 

may say Ford in Australia but they actually are their own crowd... sister company or whatever you would call it.. like Holden aka GMH/GM


and I meant china/japan/ asia area...

 

Anyone know where/when one of these will be testdriveable? I'm looking between one of these, Evo IX, or a Speed3

 

Looks like there available but going fast.

 

I have an Aspen white 09 on order from bloomington subaru. I called inquiring about an 08 they had on the lot, and the sales lady said I would be better off waiting for the 09, because of the higher horsepower and torque, along with the updated suspension and slightly modded interior.

 

The 09 is amazing, thats for sure!!!!

 

It looks to be that way but for that reason I doubt there will be much haggle room :/

I feel sorry for the people who bought the 08

 

good for you!!!:biggrin:

 

The honda fanbois are in an uproar about this on MNSC

http://www.mnsportcompacts.net/forum/showthread.php?t=75752

 

I vote ban for linking to mnsc.

 

You are a member, ive seen you post, and you have buddies on there, BAN for pretending.

 

You two are both ricers. Bans for both of you, imho.

 

good use of "furthermore."

 

Last time I went there I realized how stupid it was and quickly signed off. Again, ban for posting link to ricer forum. :ban:

 

I love how the Cobalt claims 30mpg and gets 20 on average, where as the AWD WRX got 22MPG on average ??? Furthermore Road and Track sucks ****!!!

 

It seems funny how so many people get all wrapped up into one single, extremely subjective review of a few cars. (and I'm more talking about the discussion over on that ricer forum than this one).
