well my wife sold her Jetta a while back. now she has found a 2004 silver WRX wagon.

I guess thats better than the Audi A4 she was considering.

she has not actually paid for it yet but she really likes it.

any thing we should know before moving into the world of the new gen?

 

oh yeah its a 5 speed. only mods are some 17" wheels and window tint.

12,000 miles

I am a bit concerned about the trany. I have seen some bad stuff while working on rally cars. I know this is going to be a street car but it still concerns me a bit.

Tell your wife no 5-6k clutch dumps and the tranny should be fine.

 

Clutch shudder and nasty fuel smell when it gets cold out on the other hand.....well.. perhaps they fixed that stuff by the time the 04s came out.

 

Time for you to start spending some time at www.nasioc.com

yeah you should be fine with the tranny.....unless your wife has a speed demon side....
