sure, if you like walking.

I wonder guess they are not reliable?

What the deal with that Stinger thing?

head gaskets, ringlands, bearings. Add to that the complexity of AWD driven by mostly hooligans (I call them friends) with minimal maintenance. Timing belts at 90k were usually the same time you replaced head gaskets.

Stingers are the Kia version of the Genesis G70. The only manual option was with the 2.0T. The twin turbo 3.3 was only available with the 8-spd auto (but was very quick). IT's a big-ish car, meant as a grand tourer.

Having an older turbo subaru... no.
Inlaws having several newer subarus... HELL NO

I have a '11 Honda CRZ I'm trying to get rid of. Ain't perfect which is why it's half her saved up budget. Manual, fun, economical, very not a truck. Honda reliability.

Why not have something for every occasion? The Maverick get 40+ mpg, has a bed just incase. The F150 for when I tow or haul heavy loads. The Shelby for the fun side.

A WRX is a great car really cool.

True...but good luck finding a used on that hasn't had the hell beaten out of it.
