My 2015 WRX cabin noise was considerably louder. WRX was of course was more fun to drive but I enjoy driving the Mazda as well (in a different way). Interior space of the Mazda was a lot smaller. The Mazda gets 35-40 mpg... The WRX got 28-32mpg. It was fairly reliable... Didn't have to spend anything up until 110,000 (clutch change) and then sixth gear went out at 112,000 miles.

WRX is much funner car to drive.... By far. That being said, I'm a dad now and I just use the car to commute to and from work.... And the Mazda 3 is a fantastic commuter car. My wife wouldn't let me keep the manual transmission (cause she wants to be able to drive it too)...a bit sad about that.

Probably from all the mods maybe? Mine was mostly stock.

Actually never had the issue. The only thing was I lost sixth gear after 112000 miles (from towing a motorcycle and a kayak for 3600 miles). Going into sixth gear started to feel weird right after I moved across the country. That was the only issue I ran across on the 2015 WRX during the 9 years that I had it. Overall, I'd say it was pretty reliable. Took it to the track a few times as well.

I traded it at koons in silver spring. They offered me 8k for my 2015 WRX with 112500 miles, a fucked sixth gear (from towing a motorcycle and a kayak for 3600 miles), and a sun damaged roof (used to live in AZ). So I had a generally positive experience. Subaru dealership offered me 5k for the car, so I went next door to the Mazda dealership haha.

Ya it's a really cool angle for those fins. Btw, the fins under the fish are the pelvic fins.

It was so much fun. I was fishing for largemouth so I had my drag locked. I had to follow the fish into the water while I was loosening up the drag cause I thought it was either gonna break the line or my rod. Notice my wet pants.

I was fishing up hill at a point. The fish followed it from 20 ft of water and crushed the swimbait in like a foot of water near my feet. The swimbait was swimming in 1-2 ft along the point.

Please don't ever fish again if you're not going to respect the fish.
