Hoblick Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 traded in the sonata for a 2011 WRXwas just ready for a change, always loved the WRX, and had to do alot of searching to find one. i didnt want a premium, and the only new ones i found were premium models. I started looking used, and i only found 4 in Ohio that were in my price range and year range. hell i think there were only like 7 of them total i even found used. And as luck would have it its pearl white. which is what i wanted, but was willing to settle on other colors just for lack of used ones around.had to make a drive to cleveland to get it, but got a good deal on it, and they gave me a more than fair price on my car for trade in. was actually surprised the came up to what they did on my car. they blew out the trade in offers i got down here.cool thing is, its a one owner car, originally bought it TN, was bought by a guy in Hilliard lol. he ended up actually buying a Sonata turbo like my car. wish we would have crossed paths and made a dealer outside of the dealership.plans are to add a COBB Access Port, tint the windows, and call it a day.anyway, only pic i have of it now, salty as hell, but you get the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twowheelsnake Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 definatly fun to drive.im now hoping for a foot of snow so i can test out the AWD and snow tiresYes you are! Got my Subaru (Legacy) a year ago and now I absolutely BEG for snow. It's so fun to drive in it. I went out for a pleasure drive in the middle of our micro blizzard the day after Xmas. Kept stopping to ask the SUV owners in the ditches if they needed a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Love it Hoblick. Very nice. That's my next ride but want the 5 door in white. I keep hearing how sucky the Columbus car market is and to go out of town for a better deal. Guess this is proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoblick Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yeah subaru market it insane in ohio. I did search in indiana, pennsylvania, and kentucky as well, with no luck. Didnt really wanna look outside of that though, cause i didnt have the time to drive farther away than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Congrats! I've had my '11 hatch for about 2 years now and still love it. I've had the Accessport since the beginning, and it really wakes the car up and improves the driveability as well - you will not be disappointed. Even thought the ground clearance isn't spectacular, a 'Rex with a good set of snow tires is basically god mode in the snow.If you're interested, I've got a brand new STI rear sway bar sitting in my garage that I never installed that I'd probably be willing to part with fairly cheap.

turnone Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 As an owner of a sonata (2011) I agree it has no soul even though its a great car. I HAD to buy a fun car (BRZ) after selling my previous fun car (Evo IX). I still have the sonata since its big and it's my tow vehicle.
