    Been in more then one buddies subaru's and seen first hand 2nd gear be stripped clean to agree with you.

    Lancer is a nice dd. But this is a pontiac forum, so why not a newer bonneville or newer prix? Both can be had for right at or just below your 10k budget.

    to be honest 04 and up gp are not good looking cars imo. bonnies are nice as well as their gxp model but i dont see a fwd v8 being a win.

    i currently have 2 gtp and idk, i guess im sick of being in a 3800 all the time and like a dildo in my wifes ass..want a lil extra spice in my life LOL

    i thought all the lancers (NOT EVOS) were FWD non-turbo.

    subarus are all AWD, but come in n/a and turbo'd.

    2009Plus lancer ralliarts featured a turbo 2.0l detuned version of the 4B11T pulled from the Evolution X, producing 235 hp. They share the same trans I believe.

    I am going to look into this. That is interesting. The Mazda Speed Protage(no clue how to spell it) Its a front wheel drive turbo

    If he's buying it brand new from the dealership, then yeah, maybe, if it's used then buy whatever the hell you'd like.
