Edmunds full test on STI
They at least look a little better in that picture. It's all in the shadows.
On the other hand, want to see something sad? These are the seats on my Civic:
Those Si seats are amazing. Does someone, Subaru in particular, want to explain to me why a $20k 200hp car has nicer seats than a $36k 300hp car? Subaru should be ashamed of themselves.
The only thing keeping me from buying an STI is the seats. The 5spd, sedan config., and lack of Phantom Black on the X GSR give me second thoughts on the Mitsu. Since they both disappoint, I'm almost tempted to save the cash, go with a Mazdaspeed 3 and wait for the next generation or significant improvements.

You are right, it is goin good, now that we are talking about seats
I am strongly considering a 135i. The price will probably be right about the same depending on options, I'm willing to bet the insurance will be cheaper, maintenance is free for 4 years, and it looks great. But I'm sorry, i don't have a picture of the seats

Nothing, we love it. My wife has a '98 Civic EX we're replacing and she loves my Si. Instead of having two of them in the garage, we were considering getting something with a few more doors/cargo space (plus more power, of course). Then she'd take the Si.
We're definitely keeping the Si, though. Once it hits 6800rpm it's a blast.
