what do you think??

Its a draw foir me between the 2004 wrx. Not sti. and the 2004 pontiac grand prix GTP COmp G. I know ill probably have more fun with the wrx but the GTP seems for practical in the end. What do you guys think?

I think the WRX is more practical.

wrx will be more reliable.
AWD vs. FWD
turbo vs. SC

I don't know what you are considering when you say the GTP would be more practical, but with better reliability, better handling, and a turbo which allows you the option of staying off boost to save fuel...I'd say the wrx is more practical. Just my .02

Well the grand prix bigger, Leather, I can get a better deal on it, dont see any riced out GTP's on the road. I know when i test drive the two ill have more fun in the wrx and end up with it. More thoughts?

Subaru all the way. Especially if you are in a place with snowy winters. Plus just look at the amount of badassery the WRX has as opposed to the GTP..

and a turbo which allows you the option of staying off boost to save fuel

hey what do you mean by this statement? do superchargers constantly run full boost and turbos dont? fill me in

get the WRX. WAAAAYY better car. check out consumer reports. WRX has been owning the sport sedan class ever since the car became available in the states.

Am I the only person who thinks this is ONE F***ED UP reason to buy a turbo-charged car??

If you're really worried about saving fuel...don't buy a high-performance car. Go buy a Prius or ride a bicycle.

Relaxe he is just asking a question.

Second seems like you answered your own question, you are leaning more towords the GTP. Also keep in mind your asking this question in a Subi forum were most of us own them so there will be a bit of bias here.
Go with the better deal if you concerned about money. The WRX is a fun car but if you wont utalize all of its potential then you might want to pass and purchase the cheaper GTP.

Your reading comprehension is not very good...I'm not talking about the original questioner.

It's what happens when, instead of reading the WHOLE thread, people only respond to a post that catches their attention.....maybe if we put it in PS2 format or something, people would be able to pay attention longer? :p

I saw a 2004 wrx the other day 12k miles for 20,000. You think i could get that down to 14 or 15 FINAL PRICE. as in with taxes and plates and all.

Even with such low miles, 20k is way overpriced. Trade-in value is 16k plus, retail 19k+, so you should be able to negotiate somewhere in between. Do your research and know what it's worth. Edmunds.com is a decent resource. I wouldn't take 14k or 15k for it, no way. Unless there are major flaws.

hmm what do you think are the chances of getting a 2004 wrx sti in febuary with like 30-40k miles for 16k?

Dude...I don't know. There are always "chances" to get whatever good deal that there could be.

Man that would be so awesome. Any other thoughts?

I think you should get what u like best be it the GTP or WRX. I own a GM and have no problems with them. I also will be buying a WRX soon. Im getting rid of my cavi cuz i need more hp. Any way this is my opinion.
GTP = Luxury/Chill/Pimp car
WRX = Highly tunable/Pimp
Thats what i think. Just keep us posted on what ur doing.

is the STi reliable and mostly problem free. Good to 100k you think?

Like a good daily driver for up to 4 years?

Do you mind using the edit feature instead of quoting yourself?

Yes, the STI is reliable, unless you plan on driving it like a moron, that is.

haha no problem man. No I dont drive like an idiot. Only on occasions. Plus going up to 4000 rpm is enough acceleration for most places anyway. Do you use it as your daily driver?

are you kidding me about the GTP??? The WRX beats it in all categories except the luxury part, but even then the GTP aint exactly a luxury car. Get aftermarket leather and your WRX will feel tons different than stock.
