Again, every dealership I went to in CT, they were practically throwing the keys down my throat. WTF. I was only looking at the car and hadnt even been out my car for two minutes and they were like "Lets go for a drive." I walked in one Suby dealership just looking at the 06 STi's and the guy asked me if I wanted to test drive it. I didnt even ask him and i told him i wasnt really interested and he still threw the keys at me and said lets go. No credit check, background check, he didnt even photocopy or ask me for my liscence. You guys are going to the wrong dealers.

Just curious during your test drive did they let you Redline it or go over 5000rpm? Did they explain how the car needs to be broken in and cant drive it hard until 600 miles? Yea..didnt think so.
Thats what most people think by hearing wow but for me, I was wowed by the seats first than the steering second and then the overall manners of the vehicle. I could give 2 sh*ts about the power cause i used to own a pretty fast bike . I only revved to 4 grand and the tq was a great feeling. But the overal feel of the car made me say "wow!!"

I felt like a total tard when i had to call my dad down to the dealership to make them let me test drive it. I was 23, out of college, an engineer with a good paying job, great credit, cash, and a trade that i owed nothing on. But believe me when my dad walked through the door yelling and rasing hell, they were tripping over each other to find the keys. Theres only three dealerships in the area, one was out, the other i will never deal with. Mine was one of 3 new in a 75 mile radius. Oh and i payed invoice.

I think you're right. I wouldn't mind the 1.5 hour drive if they also hook me up with the price.

wow the things dealerships will do. when i bought my mr a little less then a month ago i had none of these problems. i walked in on a saturday morning and stood in front of the car. dealer came up and said "do you like it"? i told him i dont know yet and said i wanted to take it out on a weekend pass. they said sure and threw a tag on it. i went back on monday and bought it. i know when i was in cali in 2003 i was looking at buying one then and the dealer there was a dick so i walked out and didnt even consider buying one until recently.
