Fast SOB is it not...

mikeSS · 07-19-2011, 04:00 PM

mike25 · 07-19-2011, 04:03 PM

still an ugly car IMO

SSOOCH · 07-19-2011, 04:04 PM

At the end of the day it's still a Subaru...

DarkneSS · 07-19-2011, 04:06 PM

It may not look as good as the SS but its a better car in almost every way. My friend's just has bolt ons and a tune and he ran 12.1.

Can you picture yourself driving it five years from now? How's the resale value on those things? Not many older ones on the road from what I see. When you think of a WRX don't you immediately conjure up an image of rice? It may be really fast rice but after all it's still rice.

Un real car!!!! Easy to mod to a beast and the AWD makes it killer from a dig.

Saltyflats · 07-19-2011, 04:10 PM

It's a drivers car...more suited for my style. I agree 100% the Camaro destroyes it on looks but thats about the end of it. You can throw this car in the corners like you wouldnt believe...feels like a race car.

mywifesnameishonda · 07-19-2011, 04:12 PM

Sounds like a hunk of junk, IMO.

cab2g · 07-19-2011, 04:12 PM

well even with that, the WRX STI is one of the most expensive cars to insure because people still manage to crash them like crazy even with AWD... But yes, it's a very practical car.

PoorMansCamaro · 07-19-2011, 04:14 PM

isn't it the same as the 2011?

pics, or it didn't happen, imo

The WRX STI is a cool car. One of the main reasons I didn't go that route was because I'm a freaking ogre (6'9") so I had to have something big enough that I could fit in it. The Camaro 2SS is more than fast enough for me, and it's comfortable. However, if the WRX STI makes you happy, I say go for it. It's your money.
