Auto WRX, worth it ?

[Elfenstar]

Ohh ....

 

Wah hardcore.

 

There was once I was waiting for my car while doing ECU tune. Had a look at the Pfitner gearboxes brochure.

 

Approached my tuner to collect my car and enquired the "Retail" on the Pfitner gearbox.

 

He said prices start at $15,000 and above. Servicing required every 5000km by specialised mechanic in Pfitner gearboxes.

 

I thank him for his service and quickly left.

 

Those gearboxes are hardcore. The whining noise can blow your ear drums at high rpms.

 

What do you expect when a half decent manual dogbox already costs around $6k. The decent ones are around double that at min....

 

Btw bro are you still in perth??? you could try contacting PPG for their gearsets for about $2.5kish. Those are good too.

What do you guys think ?

Manual WRX 2.5L, Auto WRX 2L and more expensive.

Is there any reason for anyone to buy an Auto Rex ? Just cos of convenience ?

But it seems the 2L have more bhp then manual.

 

Any comments ?

 

bro, hv u gone for a test drive? believe me, a test drive will put in in a better perspective. for me, i test driven it, i like the feel, did my sums, n i bought it. simple as that. to me, i never believe in stereotyping any make/model of any ride w a particular tranny. i oni believe that if the OEM, which in this case is FHI, can come up w a auto tranny wrx, i'm sure they must hv done their r & d b4 releasing to the consumers....

Haha, this is really an old thread. Changed my car long ago.

Didnt test drive the rex though, got the integra in the end.

Thx for the ... belated advices though.

[Wpower]

tats gonna be useful for the future buyers?

[Oyama]

The question should change into, Sedan or Hatchback WRX ?

[Zakuii]

if u want a sedan, can get the VW Jetta TFSI which is the booted version of the Golf GTI

 

The turbo Jetta is way too expensive compared to the auto WRX.

 

Anyway, I wanted to test drive it several times but VW always do not have the car with them. So in the end never get to try it out.

[Picanto]

what's the price differece anyway?
