Default Civic won't be driven much anymore...

...since I replaced it yesterday with a 2006 WRX. It definitely gives me the 2 doors, comforts, and performance that were missing from my DX coupe. I'll be putting the coupe up for sale shortly (locally) and use the funds to buy goodies for the new car. This is my first turbo car, gotta love that feeling when the boost takes over.

Getting a new windshield today, and new tires on Thursday. Unfortunately I'll get to drive the car for only a couple of weeks before I go overseas again for a few months.

Now why would he do that? The 4Runner is a capable SUV which I'm sure this guy takes out to play. Seriously, the DX couple would be undriven with a WRX sitting next to it. Not that I defend WRXs.

The 4runner is a street queen. Would make a capable offroader. I don't have a truck to offroad right now, but hope to find an early 80's Toyota p/u soon to modify.

Contrary to your title, if sold to a busy commuter, you Civic may actually be driven more than it ever has been.

Nice choice, congrats on the SERIOUS upgrade!

So, spill the details! TR/Limited? Color? Anything done to it yet?

Here's a clone of mine, no badging, but I'm assuming this is a limited? In Canada they may not have called the limited a limited.



I started with the windshield replacement upgrade, followed by the new tires upgrade. Went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S plus. Next step is touching up the plethora of paint chips on the leading edge of the hood, but I hear with Subaru paint this is a losing battle

I notice you have the wagon, I almost bought an '05 with ~18k on it, but wanted the 2.5, and prefer the sedan a bit.

NICE, Urban Gray Metallic? My wife has an '07 2.5i Limited in the same color, I love it! And yeah if your car has the moonroof, 6 disc changer and all that, it's a "limitied," at least on this side of the border.

You're going to hate your life every time you look closely at the front bumper/hood area... It's a huge drawback on the subies but a small price to pay for all the awesomeness you get to enjoy daily. Mine is in serious need of a respray, but I'm holding out till spring.

You made a great choice going for the 2.5l. I would have done the same, but when I bought mine 2 years ago the 06-07's were still pretty pricey. I'm happy with it though, great little cars. I needed the versatility of the wagon for home repair **** hauling, snowboard trips, etc..


Anyway, enough rambling. Congrats on the purchase and have fun this winter
