WRX vs 1.8TQ

[Larry C Leung]

Around my parts (suburban NYC), I hardly get to wind out 1st gear in the
200Q (chipped), forget 2nd thorugh 5th!. I do miss upstate sometimes,
where  vigorously piloting the 100BHP GTi was plenty fun...I probably
would be in jail if I had my 200Q when I was a true upstater.
