[@Joeden14bengals]

Derrick Spenhoff also the 2010 models!

[@xlucho22x]

Agreed, the 11' WRX is the best of the 3rd gen. It was built prior to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake/tsunami that disrupted manufacturing and was subsequently not involved in the 12'-14' WRX/STI class action lawsuits over defective connecting rods leading to many premature 3rd gen engine failures.

I feel very lucky to have bought a completely original, unmodified, low mileage 2006 WRX STI in WR blue with gold wheels. The only additions it had were genuine STI handling parts, not the usual cheap aftermarket stuff. It's now worth ~50% more than what I paid for it 8 years ago :)

[@allantoole9017]

2008-2014 generation which I own(2013), had a facelift in 2011 and powerbump to 265bhp in Australia and was also standard widebodied not sure about the States, due to it's slow rep and 'ugly' looks, which totally fixed both issues in my opinion. This gen has its own cult following in Australia even more so than the Hawkeye..

[@votus13]

same in Europe, btw we have the same car!! :)

[@jaydensquid415]

Yeah the power upgrade was in 2009. 2007-2008 narrow bodies have 225hp and 2009-2010 narrow bodies have 265hp. They carried the same engine over to the wide body but obviously changed the body a bit. But I think the power upgrade in narrow bodies was only in Ausrtalia and maybe euro countries.

Totally agree.. I had a GD WRX and loved it, but it was just a bit too small for me and my family. I picked up a 2012 STI sedan and it's beautiful, seats everyone comfortably and still cooks.. I love it and absolutely made the correct decision. Not to mention that dccd..

When I was at an autocross one time, at the latter part of the day, they started doing "Fun Runs" and someone was kind enough to let me drive their 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. You know, the bug eye. I was disappointed with the turbo lag. I had never driven a car with a turbo before, so it took me a few turns to figure out how to keep it high enough in the power band. The next part was learning how the car likes to be handled with turns. I figured that out quite quickly. It was very easy to get it to rotate. Fast into the turn, quick brake and turn the wheel, get back on the gas and the AWD pulls it out of the corner. In other words, it was tossable. It was an absolute blast. Unfortunately, I wasn't financially able to get one because I had only had my then current car only a year. I would love to have an unmolested 2002-3 Bug-eye Impreza WRX. EventuaIly i bought a 2007 Impreza WRX I was happy with that car, and the engine power delivery was a big improvement over the 2002 model, but the handling was more toward understeer. I'd rather have the 2002 but only an unmodified version. I'm not going to waste my time looking for a unicorn. Now I drive a Mazda MX-5 (Miata).

I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I’ve been looking for a second-gen Subaru WRX STI, and I found a bug-eye that I absolutely love. The separate round headlights are just perfect, and I’ve fallen for the design. But here’s the issue-I saw some pictures of the third-gen WRX STI with buttons on the center console, and after Googling, I found out they’re for DCCD (Driver Controlled Center Differential). DCCD lets you adjust the torque distribution, which would make it way easier to drift, something I’d love to have. The problem is, there’s no bug-eye Subaru with DCCD, and now I’m stuck. Do I choose the bug-eye for the design I love, or go for a hawk-eye with DCCD to make drifting easier, and you know having more buttons to press?

First gen all the way owned mine for 16 yrs now and no plans to get rid .👍👍👍

[@gigi_subi]

I owned an 02 bugeye and a 14’ hatch. I like them all but currently own a 06’ Hawkeye.

I got my 09 sti for 11k it needed small amount of work and overall cosmetics but its such a fun car for the price I got it for. Definitely gonna keep it forever.

[@stevekoffeld9071]

I agree with Brad.......2nd gen STI. Don't forget about the head gasket issues though. My sedan choices........1. C63 2. ISF 3. CTS-V 4. Latest turbo M3. They're auto for street/traffic and will crush it in acceleration.
