automatic vs manual wrx - how much faster is the stick?

with winter tires, it will drive just fine in the snow. and i am giddy like a school kid about my purchase, i definitely think i made the right choice.

The list on a WRX is $37000.....so, the Subaru dealership was overcharging. Either way, I definately feel that the TL type S is a great car....I would personally grab a CL type S with the 6 speed manual....It is very fast, and more luxurious then the WRX. Of course, it is FWD, so, it loses out there.

Even so, both are excellent cars, and all that matters is that the car suits the buyer.

the list on an *auto* subaru is 39000...

yah, i drove the cl, and while i liked it, i dont like the looks nearly as much as the a-spec. the ass end of the cl is kinda uggy imho

Subaru were not overcharging, IMHO they were simply trying to make a profit. Whats wrong with that? Nothing. A company has to make a profit, so if they have to charge high than so be it - look how big Subaru as an organisation is, even $10k per STi sale probably isn't adequate in covering costs. The price goes on price of supplies, admin costs, etc.

A manual will always be faster, in any car.
