What is it that gives the WRX it's sexy rumble? Surely not the Fujitsubo exhaust?

The "sexy rumble" is caused by the 2 sets of exhaust gases converging, the boxer engine has 2 cylinders exhausting out one side, and 2 cylinders exhausting out the other side, where the 2 combine is where the gurgling noise is generaged, hence the similar sounds can also be found on motor cycles with 2 pistons where the exhausts are merged into one pipe. Or you can also find this same rumble on the holdens where the 2 sets of exhaust gasses are run down the pipes, and nearer to the back of the car you will see a pipe which connects between the 2 pipes, i refer to this pipe as a gurgle pipe. This is why holden v8's make the sound, but the ford v8's dont, the Ford V8's run 2 exhaust pipes down, but they dont have a gurgle pipe.


If you're going to get a WRX, and you are selecting one of the earlier models pre99, make sure you get a STI or an RA version, the early generation models have weak gearbox's, i've changed my mates gearbox 4 times!!! the STI & RA models are a much stronger gear box, some come with VCD.

If you're going for an EVO, stay away from the earlier models, evo 1, 2, 3, 4, They're great cars, and they have strong gearbox's but the AYC came out on the late model evo 4's.

Stay clear of GTi-R's, they have the weakest of all gearbox's, and the breaks are too small for the weight of the car and the speeds that thing is capable of.

Nissan Sylvia, Great to drive, high insurance costs. You may even get into drifting. change exhaust and get a lsd, you'll be laughing.

Skyline, depends on how much money you want to spend, but RB35DET is within a reasonable price, sucks gas(as you would expect with the turbo) r33 or r34 models, look good, and easy power mods. if your loaded get a gtr.

If your loyal to the HoMoCo, maybe you would like a Honda City Turbo II???

If you like small cars, you may even check out a Toyota Starlet GT, they're not as bad as they seam, If youre a tiny person and can fit in one, they're a great car

My last explored option would be a Rx7 series 6 or 7 (or even 4 & 5 if you like that porche 944 look) but the batmobile 6 & 7's are a pretty nice looking car, but that is kinda knocked back by your search criteria requesting something reliable.

hmmmmm, Evo 5? or a WRX STi v 4

ooooh, one other option comes to mind, you could pick up a 180sx type x (not to be confused with a regular 180sx) its a very sexy car the standard body looks awesome, they're rare, but they're out there. and they're fast
