The problem with the Justy is what you save in gas, you end up spending on stupid little problems.

 
A few things.

Subarus hold their value stupid. The nice ones are expensive.

Why does every small car have to be a stripper piece of crap. I want a two door luxury hatch. I want heated seats, sun roof, some sound deadening, and room to pile crap (more RS parts) in the back. Is that too much to ask?

If you get a lancia delta intergrale you could have a rally 4 door hatch. Almost the same thing.

 
*bent frame joke*
the guys that started that whole thing admitted to triple digit speeds off road on a "group drive" in the desert. Less than half of the starting guests finished. So I would chock that one up to abuse, but I do think that was a dumb place to put a tooling hole in the frame.

your description fits the Focus SVT perfectly. or vice versa....heated leather seating, sunroof, killer dub tunage, 170 hp, Getrag 6-spd, really nice suspension tuning (tho beware modded SVTs, most of em suck)and, $4-6k pricing, and......lots o proper bolt-on rally goodies available out of the UK

yer other lux hatch option would be a Volvo C30, but that's based on a Focus platform anyway.

I've been following the Raptor-gate. Yes the guys where abusing the trucks, yes not boxing that part of the frame was dumb, I still don't like how Ford PR'd the situation.

You know with my luck though, I'd be pulling into my driveway and bend the frame. I mean I blew up a Jeep 4.0 of all things. Seriously, Two gearboxes, a rear diff, an entire LGT motor, and a Jeep I6. All in less than a year. I'm cursed.

No, I like Ford. They make good stuff. I have a lot of hands on experience with Mustangs.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

The C30 checks off all my boxes. Two door, four seats, hatch, light, sporty, good highway, professional looking, good options, not a shitbox.

But damn they're still expensive. Used ones only dipping down to 19k. They're 25 to 30k new. The price you pay I guess......

Probably going to RS/Jeep it for a while. See where the C30's go or see what the new 2014 wrx has to offer.....

Light? ermm... nope.

I was dissapoint when I drove one. 2,970lbs is a bit portly. and the mileage was no better than the suby.

You're ahead of me then. I haven't driven one.

When I say light, I don't mean fiat/mini/miata/smartcar light, I mean, not two ton boats. Anything around the weight of my RS is good enough. My fathers V6 mustang is a big fat turd. Trucks are fat, SUV's are fat.

All the stupid luxury crap I want adds weight. I don't need a race car, just something that can get out of its own way.
