This is the smoothest shifting transmission I think I've ever had in my entire life.
Did you find out what Roo?
No, we're working on it, ours Roo.
I got the TR, but Nobody seems to know what the Roo is.
I think it's the sound you make when you scuff a wheel.
Oh God no.
But Nobody seems to know what the Rua is.
I think it's the sound you make when you scuff a wheel.
Oh God no.
But I had a lot of things on my body that were puckering up, oh no.
Well, stuff happens.
19 miles to Gallon City, 26 highway for a combined of 22 is what it's rated.
I got 25.4
over 301.2
miles.
What I liked about it the power is plenty adequate for this car.
It's a fashionable car.
What could use improvement is just throwing this out there at Subaru.
How about putting another turbo on it, make it a twin turbo?
Ooh, I don't know whether the four-banger would do it or not, whether it would hold up.
It's screaming.
The TR gets handling upgrades that include sticky tires and bigger brakes.
What I liked about it the race car feel of this car, this thing.
It feels like you could just throw it around in corners and clearly I did right to the curb, but I didn't do it intentionally and I wasn't racing it.
Uh.
Also, what could use improvement?
I think adjustable dampers on it would be good.
Base trim price $41,655.
Price is tested $42,907.
The base model price is $32,735.
Competitors Toyota Gur Corolla $36,500.
The Hyundai Elantra N $33,700.
The Mazda 3 2.55
turbo 36, 635.
And I had to throw the VW Golf GTI in there for 31, 965.
Fun car, good looking.
I think you should go for one.
Go and drive one.
You're going to go well.
I think he was right.
Martha, martha knows, martha knows All right.
Martha, martha knows, martha knows All right.
Thank you.
