Yeah, I placed an order with a 3 month ETA. That blew into 6 months, then 12 months.
Cancelled the order and bought a new dealer stock that was basically identical for a good price interstate.
WRX is a good choice. I was looking at one as well, but insurance was a killer. Insurance on the R is actually cheaper than a GTI.
Interesting. I found insurance quite reasonable (well under $1000/yr).
The R was nicer inside, but the WRX has a rawness that's just intoxicating.
