I am loving it! So bash allyou want




Lol nice ride. And color . The front end is actually something you need to see in person IMO. I didn't like it either until I visited a dealership and saw a few on the road. They're actually alrite. Thanks for the share.

great looking car. i love the front end but i just can't stand that wing/tailights/roof spoiler. i am thinking about buying the 06 wrx wagon (unless subaru hear my prayers and bring over either the STI forester or the STI wagon). my first mod would be removing the spoiler and replacing the tails with the 05 ones..

congrats again

Don't kid youself, it is cheap. Mitsu put its money on stuff under the hood, but the STI has the nicer interior by far.

No, the STI has a nicer gauge cluster. Otherwise, both interiors are very similar: plastic, plastic, and more plastic. Of course, plastic is cheap, lightweight, and functional. Fancy schmancy wood/leather/metal interior trim is just not right for these cars.

Hey Great Pics. I hated the new front end on the STI till I saw it in person. The only thing that I don't like is that little wing on the back glass but other than that your car looks amazing. If I didn't have an EVO the STI is what I would drive. You even got the color I would pick as well. I saw one on the road and It looked amazing. Down here in Mississippi we don't have many EVO's or STI's so we don't hate on each other.

That front end resembles a piggy...lol good luck with it. No, The Sti does not have a nicer interior. The only cooler thing in the Sti is that the gauge needles sweep when you start it. About the looks. Its basically the same interior, the outside is too different looking for me to get used to. The back I hate I dont like the altezzas on that car they should have stuck with the older ones they looked better and that second wing (mr robbed) just is no good. All in all i dont like it whatsoever. I did like the last model tho and i would take the last model over this one any day so I;m not completely against Sti's. Either way goodluck with it hope you have fun and im sorry you didnt choose the Evo.

Congrats.

No bashing here, I like the new face (my girl has 06 WRX TR that I've been drivin since my car is in the shop).
The only thing I don't like bout the STi is the blue carpet, I would put in some black WRX carpet.
When I had my 04 WRX, I like COBB parts for the subies, you might wanna check them out.

Wait a second, I'm a little confused. They let you keep it for half a day?
