Mass owner.

No pic on hand, but virtually stock 98 ITR (#21!) with about 145K miles. Owned since new!

Daily driver.

absolutely the best car I've ever owned. Drives stronger than ever.

I've been looking for a replacement car for 2 yrs now and still haven't found a car as fun to drive (plenty cars are faster, but most feel disconnected with the road). Right now the only one on my possibilities list is a WRX sti (I don't really want all the power, but the suspension feel is better than the WRX IMO).

An STI would be nice, specially in New England weather. I also find other cars not as fun to drive as my teg, i think about trading but then i fall back in love with it

CraterGrillo

Any other cars worth checking out?

I've already tried the following: BMW 135, vw gti, Honda civic si, CRZ (and some others I can't remember).

Oddly the CRZ really was remarkably fun to drive (but slow).

Well the EvoX could be a good contender, I'm a fan of Lexus, so i could suggest the IS250 awd and i think they have it in 350awd in 2011 also. It handles good in the snow IMO, only auto tho. Also the TL Type S is really fun to drive and used with decent miles should run in the low 30's.

CraterGrillo

I think the TL type-s is WAY too big and heavy for me.

The evo is similar to the sti, so I'd probably just go with the stis since at least I can test-drive that (already done).

But I never thought about the IS250. I'll have to look at that. Thanks.

Any other thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I just took a quick peek at an is250. Not my kind of car unfortunately.

Not small, light, quick, or nimble enough from what I can tell.

Hey La where bouts the 978 you located?

CraterGrillo

prefer not to say exactly (too many lurking thieves these days).

Let's say metro-west outside 495.

nothing against you but for my car's sake lets just keep it 978

CraterGrillo

I just realised the other poster was asking where YOU were located, not me. Sorry about the confusion!

STI is a good choice, plows thru snow in the winter and it gets down and dirty in the pavement. The IS250 however, from personal experience is pretty good in the snow with the right tires, handles really good around corners, IMO its pretty small in size which sucks for the person in the rear seat, and i agree with you in the power dept, its slow. Also the TLS is huge but i still find it fun to drive lol

la_makina

yea i just fixed it foor safety reasons lol
