WHY?
Short answer...close to INFINITE REASONS
And to say that buying NA is "SIMILAR" price to Turbo'd...not even close to an accurate fact.
I have owned THREE WRX's (from 2002 to 2005 models)...all are gone now for some of those "infinite" reasons.
I am an old fart..retired and disabled person (without any income or "government help/assistance") and now I drive a NON-TURBO Impreza.
Of course I miss my "sporty" cars (WRX)...but maintaining those cars made no sense for a person like me.
I still like the FEEL of a sporty vehicle...so from time to time I like to "up-grade" my Daily-Driven NA-Impreza (whenever I find PENNIES that have been misplaced by my children or wife...lol!)
*My point...please STOP judging/bashing those Suby-enthusiasts that for whatever reason didn't (prefered to) or COULDN't buy the HIGH-PERFORMANCE machine.
An improvement (upgrade) is just that...an IMPROVEMENT/UPGRADE.
And then again...I may be wrong in the way I read your comment(if I misunderstood please accept my apology)...but I've been around long enough to see this "TREND" develop...of putting-down or frowning upon the person that doesn't do or follow the on-going NORM or what's POPULAR at the moment.
It's a form of BULLYING...on the softer end but bullying nevertheless...like laughing (back in school days) at the kid who wears his older-brother's clothes.
*Lets stop this behaviour and bring back the OLD-SUBY-WAYS...when someone asked for help and advice...and that's what they got.
Thank you and I'm sorry for further reviving this ancient thread or nearly killing you with this longg write.
Cheers
