Re: Cobalt SS vs. WRX?? Which one to buy

TH0001- I followed your test-drive report with interest. I'm looking forward to what you think of the other cars in that range.

I wonder if you simply aren't gonna find something you'll really love, at least not something you'll love right away, but maybe find something that'll be so easy/pleasant to live with that you *end up* really appreciating it (for what it is) because of how well it fills a certain niche. I had that happen with a VW ('87 Quantum AWD wagon)...after a few years of treating it like a throw-away beater I realized that I truly *loved* the thing far more than I ever expected to.

Here's one I'm an ex-WRX owner who wasn't the least bit blown away by any aspect of the car and I'm genuinely stumped by the reference to "incredible quality"...if *I* said that, I'd mean it as sarcasm. Guess different people see things differently, and I'm open to the possibility that they've really improved them since mine ('02).

Sheesh, are my wife and I the only people who were disappointed by their Subarus?!? It's not like we don't appreciate a good, inexpensive car...
