Just get an Impreza if she can't drive stick. It's essentially the exact same car without a turbocharger. The 2.5L does 0-60 in under 7 too. That's the car that I have.

Really? Online suggests 9.8s to 60, and 17.4@81 in the quarter. Now, I'm no drag racer, but passing while driving uphill in the mountains needs to happen.

Sooo I guess that leaves me with the mini-SUVs. Hard to get an AWD with any power for under $30k, but if that's what it takes, that may have to do it...

haha 30k for a car. You'll get a bumper and two tires for that in Norway.

Huh, yeah it looks like they don't make the 2.5L anymore. All of the new ones are only 2L apparently.

Still, a WRX is only 26K, so you should just make your girlfriend learn how to drive stick. Any new car is really easy to learn on anyways.

I dunno, I found my brand new clutch a little difficult, mainly because it wasn't obvious where the friction point was by feel.

This. Seriously, it's a great skill to have, and the WRX is a fantastic car, especially in Seattle.

Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TSI 210pk 4Motion Sport & Style is 50k here.....in Euro's!!!

Pretty depressing thread

Anyways, DSG with 7 gears and double clutch is awesome technique though. And half a second faster then by hand (0-100km/h).

New front of the Tiguan is much better looking too.

I think the Tiguan might be the best choice. Also can be chip tuned to 260 HP

Sorry, should have clarified I meant for someone who's never driven stick ever. Or maybe it was just me.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and driving on slick roads is... a tiny bit common.


I have a 2005 3door Rav4 with 18 inch rims. Think it look better then most Tiguan's.

New RAV4 I think still looks better then the Tiguan, but lacks that great engine.

O, shit, at my age I am a real adult




How's the comfort of a WRX offroad compared to a SUV?
WRX of course is every boy's dream
