Audi = stupid? ....plus WRX drive.

Steve-
I don't know about the new WRX, but with the old car, you could upload the
"economy" program via Cobb Accessport and reduce your power, allow the car
to run on regular gas, so it can be done. I wonder if you can use the
protuner software to encode a hard speed limiter at, say, 70 mph.

I guess I have to drive the new WRX, because I thought the Mk. V GTI was a
better drive than the old GDB WRX. Actually, I want to check out the new STI
to see how much better or worse the new car is. $40k is a bit steep though-
they end up being that much with nav and BBS. That gets me into an '06
Corvette Z51 or possibly a Cayman S.

BTW, a TT coupe has tiny rear seats- you can squeeze in there for short
periods of time.

A Rabbit would be a better car for a teenage driver- a lot less power, still
has great brakes and handling compared to most cars out there.
