Yeah your cobra is bad ***, but if it isn't a STI i wouldn't even think about trading it in. In the future your car will be worth way more than the WRX will be

if having 2 cars isnt a problem, id say keep the cobra and buy a second car to drive in the winter, depending on the WRX u buy it would still cost you around the same price or maybe even less, and def. less than an STi

If you're just looking for a quick AWD car, look at an older Eclipse GST or something along those lines. Then you'd have your quick, AWD turbo car and probably still be able to keep the stang. Just my $.02

Well, I went to go buy one. 2006 STI, the car was washed and ready to go. Then something hit me, let me double check my insurence price. 550 a month!!! (only reason why I still have my stang) I first got a quoted 270 a month, but that sounded iffy. I wanted something newer, smoother, and nicer inside. But the MPG, if you are hard on these cars, they do drink some fuel. You should check out some WRX/STI forums and ask those guys about the car.

Good Luck...

I drove 100 miles to the dragway at about 75-80 mph in my STi did 11 passes and drove 100 miles back and averaged 23 mpg.
