Simon, they do offer 2016 with auto trans (CVT).
No to mnie zaskoczyłeś. Myślałem że dalej tylko manual mają w ofercie. Szczerze mówiąc to ten nowy WRX mnie jakoś nie powala wyglądem.

I think the WRX and EBM are close competitors, I cross shopped them as well.
To be perfectly honest Interior is much better on the EBM, Exterior is subjective, but for me and every single person I asked, The EBM won hands down. The fact that the EBM has more hp stock, costed less and gets better MPG were also big factors for me.

I'd like to see a Full bolt on WRX vs a full bolt on EBM (ala MAP P1.5) like mine. I bet the EBM walks it.

My buddy has a 2015 Mustang GT and just bought a WRX to use as a daily driver--I had a test drive and was very impressed with the performance--the interior didn't have the big screen for the back up camera but was still very nice. Frankly I liked it but our Mustangs are not daily drivers so we never play the Mustang VS game.

No tak, ale jak na snieg/zime to moze byc.

2006-7 are my favorite years for looks. Hoping they go back to those in some form. They could have easily extended the production of that body style another few years.

As a daily driver in a climate requiring AWD, you cant beat it. Or get an SUV :barf:

As for the OP, I would avoid the FA motors. They have DI build up as soon as 7000 miles. Enjoy paying 700-1200 to have that cleaned every 15-20k. Some cars with DI have reported being down as much as 40whp after 25k. All the mpg increase that DI brings you, itll will not make up for the cleaning costs. Infact id be willing to wager youre negative on savings. Anyone that says otherwise on Iwsti or Nasioc are morons. Infact most of them are anyway.
I think that's a bit too sweeping of a generalization... Some DI engines are pretty good at avoiding serious build-up issues. Like the 2GR-FSE that Lexus has been using in the IS350 for a decade now.

Ive heard they arent as bad as some engines out there. However none of the lexus techs ive ever spoke with have spoken highly of their DI. They dont like it either.
