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.

This car promotes hooliganism, it’s awesome 4. So much confidence due to the AWD, corners very well on summer tires

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!

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.

I respect the stock thing for ur reasoning anyways, cause that’s what I would do if I had a newer one worth A chunk! 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!!

Ok I totally disagree with his assessment of the back seats. For size of this car the back seats offer plenty of room and comfort. Unless you want to tune and track you’re car the WRX is just as quick and lighter and gets better gas mileage than the STI.

I had one and it's like driving around on rocks everywhere with the super firm suspension. Granted it handles amazing and can do things other cars can't. Also hard to go slow and shifting the car constantly tired me out. Literally if I have to drive more than 10 minutes somewhere I want to take a different car.

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 !

STI owner here. What is it like? Essentially everyone complementing and looking at the car, awful gas mileage, and EVERY SINGLE COYOTE MUSTANG GT feels the need to show their dominance by revving their motor and flying by. That’s it in a nutshell. I still don’t ever want to get rid of it :]

I will add a few What it Like Owning a Subaru WRX -Treat the road as a track -People getting annoyed because you are driving to slow from a stop(revhang) -Getting annoyed at drivers bcuz they drive like snails -Using pedestrians standing too close to road as track cones. -Pretending not to see other wrxs because your too introverted. -Filling up $100 of gas and questioning your financial decisions. -Wondering if you will have money to replace the engine when the time comes.

@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

I own a '20 WRX w/performance package and I use the car quite a lot to haul my golden retriever around. I'm also from a more rural state and was thinking of doing some road tripping with the dog. It sounded like you had some experience with doing that, but that it would've been more enjoyable with a larger vehicle. Could you elaborate a little bit more on your experience? Much appreciated.
