I had a 2002 wrx before my 05 evo. I think it's more important that people are used to driving manual than a turbo car. You'll get used to the boost but you can f-ck up your trans if your learning to drive manual.

 

Yeah, especially with the little quirks here and there when it comes to shifting. Some have problems with first, others with second, and the recall on 4th, sometimes 5th gear...

Not to mention that compensator circuit in the clutch line that feeds out the clutch to a certain extent even though you dump it. Which is my I've seen a few people burn out their clutch prematurely. Don't get me wrong, one of my close friends has had a faulty clutch on his EVO. So yeah, it varies.

 

same car as honda, but less reliable, more crap to take out.

But it's fairely easy considering most of the bolts on the engine bay is the same size. 10mm. lol I just love that!

I think this car is just easier to put together and put back then most cars out there (that's high performance oriented.)

I would never own a european turbo car. I wouldn't know what to do with it if something broke without warranty.

 

no im not considering a passat my sis has one. im just saying what all extra should be done since it Is a high performance turbo car and not just a regular one.
