but the fiero is cool...
if you're going to get a celica get a 5th gen. but since you're planning for the winter, and selling your rwd car, get something awd. forget fwd...
that being said- get the subie. an alltrac would be cool, but they're hard to find.

Depends if you like to work on cars or just drive them.

Most ST185's will need some TLC by now, especially the standard models so you'll probably need to fix a few things up... very well built though so once you take care of any maintainence issues (CV boots, bushes, vacuum hose problems) they are very reliable.

I had to choose between an MY99 Subaru WRX and ST185RC... my personal choice was the ST185RC.

i wasnt talking about an alltrac, either 5th gen gt or 7th gen gt
alltracs are hard to come by around here, and iff they're here too expensive or high kms

the GT-S's actually don't even have a noticable amount of power over the GT....they just look a lil cooler when you pop the hood and cost a lil bit more
