Can't see the pics as I'm at work but I can understand your thinking as I was considering one of these up until recently. IF your just doing it for financial reasons then maybe that's a bit of a gamble as what you make up in money you'll lose in driving pleasure! Is there no one you know that has one you can "borrow" to give it a good thrash to see if you like it??? I thought you hated 4WD cars anyway, but I guess with the FRS being FWD there's not alot of difference in your mind.
rog have a look from home its a nice car!
i dont "hate" 4x4 thats for sure.
my everyday car doesnt matter anyway
