Nice. I've always liked S2000's but they're too impratical for the Northeast on my budget.

I'm going Maxima hunting tomorrow.

I scuffed the Vigor's door tonight, window being replaced tomorrow...hopefully Robyns Auto will have my paint mixed to tomorrow so I can spray the door and trade the Vigor in this weekend. :happysad: Then to give the WRX the boot and save some moola.

selling the WRX is a good idea, just make sure you get winter tires for the maxima if you plan on driving it next winter, honestly you'll probably be able to stop easier in the snow with them than just the WRX and all seasons.

Yeah I'm not trusting of the stock rubber.

3. Reliable
4. Cheap insurance
5. Spaceous
6. Manual tranny

WRX has all those but my plan was to turn around and make money off the car because I got it so cheap. I can't afford the insurance on the Subie all through school so I'm selling it shortly.

Maxima fits the bill and I've always liked 'em.

Sorry for the thread hijack. :slap:

That is the only reason why I don't get one :sad:

I have m3's on the integra right now and they are awesome- if you go dedicated winter/summer be sure to get performance winter tires, it's really not worth it not to because the roads these days tend to get cleaned off pretty quick as long as the temps rise above 20* for a few days to let the salt melt the snow. and even in a bad year you'll most likely end up us wanting them for those freak nice days

Ugh that white/red combo is gaudy as all hell. I wouldn't buy an S2K unless it had all black or the 04+ colored insert scheme.
