To each their own but really, any Subaru sans a forester gets lost in the crowd.

If you are up there and want a ride in my old Wagon let me know. I'm friends with the new owner. So far he is on the second trans and third motor.

What year STI was your previous car? And 2nd trans + 3rd motor already?

I had a 2010 WRX, bought brand new, got rid of it after 6 months- did not like it- dismal fuel MPG- not too good handling, wandered on the highway. With the 5 speed high RPM's on the highway and got only 18 MPG at 80 MPH. I now have a brand new 11 MS3 and I love it so much more. It is better in every category than my WRX except 0-60. The best thing is that my MS3 gets 10 more MPG than the WRX.

Nah I really don't get time to cruise Woodward much at all.

Everytime i've talked about a different car, everyone floods the responses with problems. VW, Subaru, everyone is like "Oh god, the reliability and maintenance is terrible on those". I guess I have good taste for low reliability cars lol.

I wonder if you'll miss your AWD when winter hits again?

[Elusivellama]

I'm in Canada. I have Hankook w409 iPikes on 205/60/16 steelies. I have never had any problems getting around no matter the conditions. Its more to do with the driving style and quality of snow tires used. For performance driving, I have no clue in the snow, but that's mostly because I'm trying not to get into an accident with the other all season fools on the road with me.

My wrx Wagon is on its third motor and trans, which is an 02. The sti is an 07 and is on stock motor and trans.

Subaru has wonderful reliability, man. Start making too much power, ring lands go. I have owned a Subaru for the last 4 years and I will own one again. Will it be the fan boy popular impreza line, very doubtful. And of course I will miss awd in the snow. It's as if you think I hated my Subaru. I loved all of them, but I got sick of the cult like following of everyone with skinny jeans and winter hats year round, and the rich queers who get money from mom and dad.
Get whatever the hell you want, try being unique in an impreza model (WRX, sti).

My gf manages fine in winter in her lancer, then takes her evo out in summer.

I have to say I was looking at a gt500 before I bought this car and I will not look back. My family added up all the cars I have owned and it totals 25 or 26 i forget. The point is that this little car is fun and cheap!!! I drove both kinds of WRX both STI and regular. For the money the MS3 is more fun and it is easy to mod if you look around. I know alot of guys on their 3rd rebuild of a 2006 subaru. not saying they arent reliable just that when boost hits 20 plus all these cars will blow eventually. Or like alot of STI's the tranny goes or that complex as all fuck diff goes bad. You have to go with your heart but I say keep the car pay it off then mod the fuck out of it.

You probably change your mind if you are thinking about getting a STI. (WRX is really a POS).

I've now been to 3 high performance track days in my speed 3 and it's amazing the cars I can eat up with my driver mod. The car is extremely capable in the twisties, while still being a ton of fun as a daily driver.

A buddie of mine has a convertible M3 (2008 model I believe) and after driving it I wanted to get back in the MS3 and get on it. Something about the speed3 is just amazingly fun to drive for me.

[rigor]

my jeep is fun as hell to drive, but i wouldn't want to drive that pile of shit every day

plus you have to get a pound of weed, and Birkenstock sandals, to drive that pos! and a rainbow sticker

i would walk first

[faeker]

You had me at weed

[Monotonous ONE]

you had me at birkenstocks

[rigor]

im just teasing^^^ the car has a crap motor, trans in it!

it's a Hitler special, with water, but to each his own i guess

OP did you ever drive the new WRX? It fucking blows and this is coming from a former 02 WRX owner/fanboy. The engine is the sole redeeming feature of that car. When I was shopping for a new car I was dead set on a new WRX. Took it for a test drive and was frankly shocked. It handled worse than my wife's RAV 4, shifted like garbage, and looked like someone melted down a bunch of Chinese toys to make the interior. God knows I wanted to love but it was really really bad.

I have honestly never driven the WRX, but I have test driven the 08 STI and remember not being that "excited" about it in comparison to my 1st Gen Ms3 that I was driving.

My main appreciation is the engine and transmission on these Subarus.

[Callmedave]

Model year 2008 was the worst year ever for the WRX and the Sti.

The point is everything has problems when u mod it. I don't know why u would want a we'd unless it's for winter driving then by all mean get one. Just don't bitch about this car like it's a pos when it's not. I have a bone stock 11 ms3 and I thump the ass of 2x 10 hatch wagon things. Plus they are averaging something like 17 mpg mixed driving. I will admit that both cars are owned by puerto ricans but shit u would think they could stomp my ass with awd, vw bug motor, cheap crappy interior, 5 speed tranny, viscosus coupler differentials, no head room, blah blah blah.

Not bitching at all! The car is phenominal for what it is. But it's definitely missing some AWD to make it even greater. Having all the power up front is cheaper but also a downside. All I was trying to say is, it's only missing the most minor things that make a major difference.
