2 seat roadster. So, no not enough room to haul stuff. Your TV defintely won't fit in the trunk and it will be tough to shoehorn it into the passenger seat. Let's face it, the car wasn't made for hauling.

No winter where I live, but this car is balanced for oversteer from the factory. It's not so much the lack of traction control, but the tendency for the rear end to slip out in a flash if you hit VTEC in a corner. (This tendency, of course, is completely on purpose in this car!) Yes, there are people who drive them in the winter, but with the soft top, it's really not going to be a pleasure. I really think the S is not a great daily driver even though it is reliable and relatively comfy for 2.

At the 20K price range, you are looking used anyway, with all the uncertainties that go along with it.

Have you thought about a non-STi WRX? More room, AWD, growing mod community. Should be able to get close to your price for a new one.
