Ive got a 2004 subaru Wrx Sedan. What would be the best and most cost efficiant way to get the awesome performance all of us want as well as the good sound and still a good daily driver?

Question type: Car Customization
I want the car to be fast and sound good but also be able to drive my soon to be born son around as well. I need it to be cost efficient due to the kid on the way. I have some room to flex on price depending on if it'll be worth it. email me your answers please-broncin12@gmail.com

The Imp rear seat is FAR TOO SMALL for a safe and solid child car seat! You would be slightly better off with the longer newer Imps, but I'd sell the WRX (for more than it's worth to a boy racer) and get a 2005-2009 Leg Sedan or OB and have a FAR better interior for family use, Most of mySubaru sales over three decades have gone to young families, where I've had to address the relative rear accommodations of the Japanese floor plan models (Imps and Foresters) vs the Indiana roomy one (Legs/OBs). Especially once your toddler starts kicking around you'll want the rear room of the latter! Congrats, and a safe birth. Ern
thanks for the advice! in other terms. my girlfriend does a better car for trips with the baby. I've wanted an 04 subie for a long time so I'm not looking into getting rid of it. performance can be my vehicle and safety with the other. any advice on performance upgrades for it would be appreciated
A turbo Forester would be good choice for a fast family hauler.
After you try hauling around all the gear that is part of having a kid, you will be looking for an SUV - trust me!
