a 2018 wrx popped up on marketplace and made me think about trading the civic for it.

Mileage? Mods? Condition?
I had a 2015 WRX (ordered/picked up brand new in 2014). I had some issues with mine but I feel it was due to 1st year model. Mine was stock.

40k miles. Looks like no mods. Conditon looks good. All for $26500 cnd. I won't be getting it, although it would be more practical for an only vehicle.

Morning 
Oh... That sucks.Got busy training a new person and she was on my computer all the time
Damn
Newer WRX's with the 2.0L engine are meh. I feel like my Accord V6 (2015) is faster (of course off the line the WRX would get me).

how is that possible? arent they rated at like 280hp? are they heavier and have more drivetrain loss because of the awd? i know it would be much faster with a cobb and bolt on's. easy to make more power when the car is turbo.Morning

I'm over the wrx for now. To get the same payment I have on my si with 2 years left on it id have to trade it in for $10 000 ( way too low ), and do a 6.5 year new loan at almost %7.

Yes there is drivetrain loss and more so with AWD over FWD. I've read (not sure how reliable the sources) but AWD is 20-25% loss vs FWD is 10-15% loss. Others might correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the weight.. The Accord weighs about 200lbs more than the WRX.
2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Sedan (my vehicle)
278hp/252tq
Curb Weight: 3,554lbs
2018 Subaru WRX
268hp/258tq
Curb Weight: 3,340 lbs
No doubt the WRX would beat an Accord easily with Cobb/Bolt on's.
What kind did you get/make?
some good tea this morning
How's the female trainee doing?
6.5 year new loan @ almost 7%!
Yeah I'd just keep the Si. Keep paying off the loan and enjoy the car.
In this era with micro interest rates, 7% sounds like 2005. Ouch.
