    Keep the Mustang. The Tacoma isn't terribly impractical as it is and if you have the Tacoma and a family car, you don't necessarily need the third car to be practical as well.

    If you're set on something 4-door and practical, I'd almost be tempted to say go with a Focus ST for 10K less than the STi. It's already been said in the thread, but it doesn't appear they have figured out all the issues that the emissions regs have brought up and I still see threads often on Nabisco about exploded '15 STis.

    Sell the cobra and get a sti. All wheel drive plus balls. I've driven a moded sti and the only thing close to me going that fast was a Cadillac CTS V with traction control off.

    I may end up going the WRX (premium) route for the fact that it's cheaper (insurance, taxes, and sticker price). Also much better mpgs. Been doing some reading and the tuning potential on the new 2.0 liter turbo Direct injection motor is very nice, not looking to do anything more than a tune, intake, possible wheels/tires, and maybe cat-back exhaust. May look at a lightly used 2015 next year.

    Nahhhhh , wrx is a good car , its kinda of a more of a simplistic bare bones vehicle... And because of that I feel it's a better car, especially day to day , cost of ownership is lower, insurance is lower , idk... I've always preferred the wrx over the sti.. But thats just me lol

    Sounds like my 1974 Capri when it was running on 2 out of 4 cylinders. Lopey, crappy, grating noise. V8 rumble cannot be imitated! Accept no substitute! :)

    Had F150, Mustang GT, and Tundra.., currently rolling a TRD Sport.

    Sell the Pony, get a Crewmax and if you feel the need for speed, drop a blower on the Tundra. Just cannot beat the Crewmax and the Taco will just keep holding value for you too.

    My vote as well. Either buy a trailer or look around at local trailer rentals to price out for how often you would actually use it. The extra utility you would have out of the Tundra versus how often it sounds like you would use it just doesn't seem like a good value for the cost in my opinion.
