2012 Subaru WRX STI: The Best Sports Car for the Money? - Ignition Episode 17

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago proves that Subaru has been making fun sports cars since before the BRZ.

Ignition appears every Monday on...

skimaniac05 skimaniac05 commented:

If I had the money, this would be what I'd be springing for...although I might save myself $6,000 and get the WRX, which is nearly as quick as the STi and is nearly as fun and spend the money on snow tires and roof racks (yes, I am an outdoorsy new englander)

skimaniac05 skimaniac05 commented:

I would say it depends on how out-front the band puts the lyrics. I personally care more about the presentation, but if your band is all about message, then i suppose it would matter.
