Now that I didn't need the Jetta for road trip duties, I decided to look around for something a little more fun. My only criteria was that it had to AWD (I wanted something good in the snow), and I had to be able to fit the kids in it. After looking at a pristine 25k mile 2005 Evolution, a couple of 2008 VW R32's with 39k and 47k miles, I finally decided on a CPO 2011 Subaru WRX with 44k miles.
This car is going to be a really great DD. It has a nice ride, the 5-speed transmission has a really nice easy to drive clutch, and the AWD provides some fun handling (Although it still has the common Subaru understeer). The 265hp turbo engine definitely feels fast and my car also came with a 3" Magnaflow exhaust and it sounds mean. In comparison to my RX8, it's certainly faster, but the RX8 still feels much more nimble and grippy.
I have already went on a short 50-mile drive with the family and the car holds the wife and kids and two strollers with no problems and the dash display indicated 26.5MPG. I can certainly live with that.
Here's the only pic I have right now as I didn't have time to take some good pics.
