Default tC or WRX *New Question*

I'm debating on getting an 06 Subaru Impreza WRX or just keeping the tC...
I just want some opinions, anything will help.

oh yea one more thing... i have a family friend that works a dealership so i'll basically be doing an even trade for the Subie and the Subie only has 15k miles on it.

Now there is another option open...
Since Christmas and Santa was good to me this year i have the option of getting rims/wheels, and a TRD Supercharger or a Turbo (depends) for the tC rather than getting the WRX.... this decision got a little just got alot harder for me

I still like the subie's AWD but i like my tC alot specially with some new shoes on it!
Please let me know what you guys think...

Yea the main reason i want it is because of the AWD!

Its SAE rated at 230hp @ 5600rpm's and 235tq @ 3600rpm's
The interior is a little more basic than the tC but it's still nice, and that is what i'm looking for.

My tC is an Auto, and thats just another reason i want the Subie, but i'll prob be using the Subie as a Daily Driver and an occasional off-roading/ski-trip car.

If its an even trade, no question get the WRX

My buddy just got an 06 WRX, its pretty nice. The turbo Lags until about 3500, but once its in boost its a quick car, im sure you will love it

Sounds like you have your mind already made up though lol go for it!

i basically do have my mind made up but at the same time it's hard to see my tC go....

I would actually have to pay about $1800 out the door to get the WRX but in my eyes thats not much for what i'm getting...

the brand new STI is killer, even tho its a 5dr hatch.

i cant believe you even asked the question to the OP... its hand down, as long as the suby is unmolested, then go ahead and get it. 2k is nothing for what you are getting, its a perfect car for modding.
