I get that too haha but I'm ok with it only because they're other Subarus in the subie family. There was actually this one time I was just coming back to my car from getting groceries and this little kid getting back into his mom's car was like "your car is so cool" so I started it up for him and let him rev it a couple times. Couldn't have been older than 10 but it still was nice to make that kid's day. His mom was cool with it too.

I've been daily driving a a highly modified 2005 sti for the most part of 7 years now. What I would say is its absolute not a lifestyle for those who don't like to get there hands dirty and prefer to coast about comfortably on a budget. It is however, an absolute blast to drive. The grip, the acceleration (mine is running 1.65 bar at around 430hp) and that flat four - boost whistling - turbo fluttering, occasional flame popping sound... Absolutely addictive!

Mine is older and I’m just going to mod it while the miles are lower, not alot just try to hit around the 325-350 range and make it Sound Amazing because I plan to keep it as Long as Possible and Hunt an STI down when I’m done paying for this one. P.S. if STI’s are extinct then I’ll probably hunt down a type-R or something similar to an STI!!

It is good i owned a 2001 Subaru Forester s turbo manual ( 90% automatic) and it done me 10 months and 11,000 miles had all season Michellin tyres was amazing! Rust killed it unfortunately half of the subframe fell off one day in July !! Managed too get it home but the back end kept swaying about ( i did try buy a 1997 GC8 Impreza a 2002 bugeye wrx and a 2005 blobeye wrx all 3 were rotten too the core !

Hey Dylan, would you recommend buying a 2-3 years old WRX ? I am little concerned about the engine issues I've heard with that saying I believe a lot of people lease wrx instead owning them ?
@dylanthompson9983
@dylanthompson9983 2 жыл бұрын
It depends on how well the car was taken care of. I'm no expert on the engines of the WRX, but I have heard that some start to see problems around the 60k mile mark. It could be the older models that this happens to more though. If you know that a WRX has been taken care of and has relatively low miles I don't see a problem in looking for a model from a couple years ago. Hope this helps Bharat

Traded in last year for a one year old S4 and if subaru doesnt come out with a much upgraded, improved STI I wont be going back.

The sound system is terrible. I can have a full conversation with the sound all the way up. Also, anyone who gets this car and doesnt want to be heavily modified, COBB or MAP stage 1 no bolt on tune is still HIGHLY recommended imo. Wont negatively affect the car at all and imo is an EXTREMELY necessary adjustment. I would never go back to stock tune.
