I'd have to get behind the wheel of one to make a final judgement. Personally I'm not too huge of a fan for Automatic cars. Its definitely a nice platform though

i'm not too crazy about auto cars either, unless its a luxury car or suv or something...but the soarer was like half luxury anyways lol plus the auto made it easier to drive since i had to get used to driving on the other side auto or not though that car hauled ass.

I liked auto better in the soarer but if its a sc300 the auto tranny is a POS slush box. Either convert it or build up the auto depending on what you plan on using the car for.

If I had to pick I would get the 240...only thing that is scary about it is the RHD conversion.

The sc300 is nice but its a fukin cow in teh handling dept. But teh 1jz motor is intoxicating..power delivery, power band it ohhh it sounded so sexy!!! Plus its very modder friendly

if you have good connections to parts, maybe the 240. you do realize that motor is pretty hard to source parts for.

other than that i would say the sc.

oh yah... SC is 5 spd

got preapproved today.... only problem with the SC is that it's up in NY.... so i can't really check it out unless i make the drive.... and you kno if i make the drive i'm not gonna wanna come home empty handed and the wifey is trippin over a coupe cuz of the baby.... i think i've decided on the wrx.... even though the SC has soooo much power potential... the wrx is a good compromise though... i can still have my fun = )
