as above really, how well do they handle?

in comparison to a WRX say. whats the difference between them handling-wise anyway and how expensive would it be to make a sport handle similar to a WRX?

thanks.

The one that i had as a courtesy car (whilst waiting for my WRX) was pretty awesome for handling, slightly softer, but not much, and as it has less poke then your less likely to loose it. It just sticks to the road.

I guess you could just get one, and get a spring kit for it....eibachs or suchlike.

Sports have amazing mechanical grip, they excell in the wet. A set of good tyres is all you need.

yeh i remember someone saying something similar- that you only needed a set of eibachs and you were almost there.

must say im tempted to get one. at my age i couldnt even think twice about a wrx or anything so something thats 4wd could be lots of fun

My MY99 Sport was fantastic in the Wet/Dry/Snow/Ice the whole lot

As John said, decent tyres is pretty much all you need

they are grippy little buggers !!

in the dry, you would have to really push it into a corner for it to get messy, in the wet you can get the back out on islands, in the snow they are awesome..

very stable, very fun !!
