secondly, I really don't like the Celica at all... 6spd is horrible... Gears are WAY too close. You miss shifts constantly, and its only got 180hp... And its LOUD AS SHIT! I mean you're cruising at 40mph and all you hear is the motor screaming... And its not the throaty type, its the lawnmower on steroids type of scream. It was nice on the inside, but the WRX is SOOOOOO much nicer on the inside! Seats are AWESOME! Ergonomics are great and its just looks better in my opinion. There are NO disadvantages to the WRX at all... Except that you'll probably have to pay sticker for it! Wife really wants one (in a wagon though) and we're debating trading either our '97 240SX SE or '00 Maxima SE for it come the turn of the year.
