Why the Tacoma Over a Subaru WRX STI...

Well I though I'd shared a quick story.
While making the decision of which vehicle I was getting next, the Subaru WRX was one of my top choices.
Stopped by a Subaru dealer to test drive the 2016 Subaru, but THEY DID NOT LET ME TEST DRIVE IT.
So, few weeks later(after watching the cool new Tacoma commercial), went to check out the '16 Tacoma drove home with it..

What would you have done if you were in my situation... ?

 

Hmm vehicle I can test drive > vehicle I can't test drive...


Why is this a question and why is it a thread

 

Why could you not test drive the Subaru?

 

Yep, this.

 

Seems like a silly reason to buy a totally different vehicle but power to ya.

 

Not made a pointless thread about it.

 

tacoma > subaru
I hate being high centered in snow. After years of owning many subarus, forester/legacy/wrx/sti and being a subaru tech for many years... I do not know why I waited so long for a toyota 4x4 pick up. I still love and swear by subaru though, I would be dead 3 times over if it was not for being in a subaru.

 

Subaru has generally never allowed STI test drives, because too many people just want to experience what it's like to rally them.

I'm a huge WRX guy, but if you can have only one, Tacoma it is. You made the right decision, IMO.

 

I would never purchase a vehicle that they do not let me test drive... it's a Subie, not a Lambo

 

Today I really felt like having a deli sandwich for lunch, but then I remembered my woman made me a bowl of soup for lunch and gave me a banana also. I thought about it for a minute and kind of agonized over it because I couldn't waste the soup, but I also shouldn't eat both a sandwich and some soup. So I passed on the deli sandwich and just relegated myself to soup for lunch.

I ended up having soup and a banana.

 

Happens to me at least weekly.

 

I wouldn't buy a pair of shoes without trying them on, I sure a shit wouldn't buy a vehicle without driving it first...

@DCSBFTMFW pass me the sammich

 

Would you have eaten the sandwich instead?

If so, would you have also had the soup? What about just the banana? What about both?

If not both, what combination should I have eaten?

 

Cool story! You and the OP have a lot in common.

 

Why isn't your lady makin you sammiches?

 

Interesting points have been made here.

 

Stop with the easy questions. I feel like I'm taking an SAT

 

Depends on the condiment selection and how much soup. How BIG was the banana?

 

Thats ridiculous. I can't believe a dealer would do that....I walk into the Benz dealer and drive a new S class AMG and they never blink...its a fricking Subaru for focks sake.. My dealer here lets me drive em...tell yours to shove it up their ass and do a burn out in your new Tacoma all over the WRX...

*edit* are you 16? Is that why? *shakes head, grabs another beer*
