my problem with subaru is the weak tranny I've been hearing about a lot. Maybe that's just a WRX problem?

Protege would be good, I guess. stock turbo, 4-dr. Is it AWD, or front? I forgot.
Mazda6 was my front-runner for a while, but then my pricing went down a little, and that took the V6 out of the equation. But there may still be hope. I'll have to find out.

nice ones. thanks
