well, lets see.
Turbo, that helps
All wheel Drive, that helps
good design, need I go on?

being all wheel drive helps on take off to almost eliminate wheel turn and move all power to your take off and the turbo rips it through the RPM's for hp. Makes for a nice combo.
Enjoy it.

Because most other cars on the road like gas mileage, but yours doesn't. My thought, who cars about gas mileage, if your can get a car for that price that will pwn so many cars that are twice its price why not? Just watch the rear diff on some hard launches when you're trying to be faster than the others from a stop. You may see it in your rear view mirror instead of the other car as you roll to a stop.

el cheap car with a big engine..big woop..been done a hundred times in the history of cars.

the WRX although is by far the ugliest car out there.besides the old Yugo's. Gold wheels? seems a color blind person built the car.

Well because 1st off you have a turbo, that is the only way you can create alotta power with four cylinder car, but I believe it'll be faster if you were to build that engine from the ground up, cuz there is a big difference when 276 hp comes out of the factory rather than a built engine with turbo.jus my opinion.. I may be wrong
