The BRZ comes in a TC configuation..brings power up to stock SS, 260. The FR-S doesnt offer this...yet....

 

second gear scratch??

 

Everyone says this but cant order a FI BRZ yet in states only NA version least at all dealers in Greater Atlanta area i tried
Torque or lack of was big issue but so is transmission for me


Guess im just LSx biased lol

 

scratch = chirp, or lightly spin a wheel..

 

The BRZ/Scion look good... but I think I will be dissapointed with the HP....

Focus ST... I will have to wait until late in the summer to see them at dealerships here in Canada apparently... So a few more months of the SS... I won't rush things. :)

The Fiat 500 Abarth looks cool....

Geg, I will certainly look at the VW GTI. It's supposed to be a great car...

 

I have 85,000 miles on my 09 SS and had numerous turbo issues too.......I am looking to dump this before 100,000 comes around.......which will be very soon driving 100 miles per day........
GM does not have a great track record at very high miles........

 

VW has some of the worst reliability record saround so be careful. A friend has an '09 Jetta turbo that has spent a lot of time at the dealer.

 

Hate say it but hyundai and kia seem be top notch right now

Im thinking of a focus st myself replace my hhr just want test one first

 

And like the SS..you cant just look at available HP..you have to look at 'potential HP" as the goodie parts come in....

 

My buddy at the Hyundai dealer will not agree. He passed on his discount and bought a HHR.
