I havea base as well, but the price is of the addition is the issue. Traction control should be standard,Cruise Control should be standard. It is rediculous that you have to pay for those two items on a sports car!

Other minor annoynaces were window streaking, gas door not opening when pushing the button inside the car and a few rattles here and there..

I have actually already had the gas door problem and although fixed it still does not open on first push. Plus it does not always start everytime. Think that could be an immobiliser fault? What causes the window streaking because I have notice that?The transmission sycro problem - are you referring to the manual version?
Cheers!

It sounds like a few, however I think that to avoid some of those things I might just go with the 05.
Is there alot of these same issues on the 05 and up?

Wrx...
I had a 2002 WRX before my Z, I actually miss rocketing off the line from a stop w/ the awd+turbo combo wet or day 
But stock Handling , ah the Z is nice! One thing autocrossing the cone dancing awd was nice, no fishtailing hardly at all, so was whole new experience racing the Z.
I am actually thinking of goint to an Sti soon, for room and I can drive it all year round, more practical for me.
Good luck!

Thanks, I have a Waon and its nice and yeah a Subaru is nice with the AWD and stuff however I'm the only one in it always, or my wife. We have a baby but we always go out in our Mazda 6 wagon cause its bigger than the WRX so I have 2 wagons for nothing. Thats why I was considering the Z so I'm def excited about getting one.
I'm in no big hurry just shopping right now to wait until I get a real good deal, And do more research to make sure I know what I'm getting into.
