Default Next car question

My GS-R is falling apart, so I am thinking of getting a new car.

My choices are either a WRX wagon or a Mazdaspeed 3.

The WRX wagon I will only take in black. It looks retarded in any other color.

The Mazdaspeed 3... Preferably white because I have friends with a black one and a red one respectively.

Reasoning for a wagon is that it is practical. Both cars are quick (well the WRX can be made quick for relatively cheap). I don't have to lower them to look good. I can haul people around, plus put snowboards on top. There's room for a lot of stuff too.

BTW I will really have to let go of the bike for this one... Just have to bite the bullet now because not having a reliable car pisses me off.

If I had to choose between those two, I'd go with the WRX wagon...in blue. or black. I'm sure the AWD would be nice to have too.

I like the MS3 because it looks more like a hatchback than a real wagon, plus the new ones will most likely come with a bluetooth speaker phone and a navi option, both of which will come in really handy.

Just test drive them and see what you like best :dunno: not a whole lot of nice wagons out there, unless you'd consider a used 5-series wagon.

Factory 18s aren't so bad either. Wait I think they are 18s... or 17s... Whatever. They are just a bitch to clean. If I get one I'll probably get rims first :/

Neither of them are bad decisons, but of the two, I'd be more likely to going for the Mazdaspeed 3. Like Chris said though, just gotta take the two out for a testdrive; you may like them equally as well based upon looks but I guarantee once you take them out and get a feel for both you'll have made your decision.
