    It seems the dog moms think my Tacoma is an imperialistic gas guzzler and i'll need to buy something else to fit in to the crowd. I think a WRX checks all the boxes. I don't know how the WRXs are holding up.

    and i believe you have to put 93 gas in anyways so mpg doesn’t mean anything

    So trade your gas guzzler in, so someone else can buy it and guzzle gas?
    Or does it only guzzle gas when you drive it?

    If you chose a truck in the first place, how would a car still meet your needs? Cars don’t have pickup beds.

    Turbos die, and hybrids. Well now you have double the amount of things that can break. Dogmoms would probably like a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid.

    Buddy had a ‘14 STI hatchback and it held up pretty good. He traded it a month or so ago for a Silverado.


    I really only like the looks of the hatchback.

    Cant really compare a Tacoma and a WRX... If you want to switch to a car, why WRX? My buddy has an STI, he loves it, it looks sick, and its a good car. If you want gas mileage there are other options.
