The sunroof is good but it's a bit cold for it at the moment lol, its great in spring or autumn. Only downside with the car is black leather seats get ridiculously hot in summer. Unfortunately I won't be debt free for long, saving for a house.

Debt free is good! I likey the sunroof, must be nice to feel the wind in your hairs I really want to get one installed! & that's crazy Matt. Wish I had a rare car! Is it actually worth more because of it? Or is it just cooler? Lol

It's like what Porsche did to the new 911. The gt3 RS is a gt3 that's just had stuff removed parts upgraded a new badge and limited production. They are just cooler. I'd never drive it if I had one

Oh! Thanks for filling me in i don't know much at all about wrxs! Sounds awesome. Is it much quicker once the weight has been shedded?

 

[Matt-to-the-K]

You'd like to think so for all the extra dosh you gutta fork out to get ya grubby lil hands on one. I would say it's more of a collectors car than a commo killer on the 1/4 mile

1/4 mile drags are ghey. Put a commodore or a falcon into a corner and you'd think it would be more at home in the perfect storm.

Im not a giant fan of the pig wrxs. Subaru have gone down hill since 05 IMO. I mean what was that thing they called impreza in 08?? Even the 2011-12 models make me spew in my mouth a little bit. Is there much difference between a 2l and 2.5l STI?I've driven both.. Not sti and they feel almost the same. Bit more low end power

 

[Chris]

I wasn't a huge fan of the 06/07 shape either until I owned one (I had an 05 before the 06). It sort of grew on me. The 06/07 had the 2.5 & a different turbo, in stock form it had significantly less lag from memory. In the end both were modified anyway so it made little difference. I probably still prefer the 03-05 shape. The post 07 models are rank ordinary & the reason why I haven't owned one since trading in the 06 STI pictured above. Plus I'm too old now to drive one :lol:

 

[Matt-to-the-K]

Yeah tge peanut shape is my fav too. My ex missus got a MY06 Wrx coz shearing my 02 around and got jealous. I noticed less lag too now you mention it. I'm keen to hunt down a MY05 STI soon. DCCD

DCCD

Seriously... it's over-rated, I never moved it from the auto setting.

 

[Matt-to-the-K]

Owwwwwwwwwwwww you just shattered my dreams ands will to live. So you never played with it or you gave it a shot and noticed no difference?I'm not a burn out dero by the way. I've only owned 3 cars two were imprezas and other a corolla. So I'm not gunna try smoke the rear wheels or anything. Although.....Im not gunna buy a 30k car coz it can shift 20% to the rear. I just think they are the bomb and total babe magnets

I did a couple of track days & shifted the bias a little to the rear but in all honesty I felt little difference, if you're using the car as a daily driver then it's a waste. Anyone that tells you they do use it is either very experienced (read professional driver) or is playing with themselves.

Rexs eh, each unto there own. My dream car is a Ford Galaxy convertible, I can see it in my dreams candy apple red, 460 big block on white walls. Perfect for cruising on Sunday arvo.

 

[ekipkcorb]

[angie90]

I agree, hate the new look of the subarus. They remind me of a really ugly dog lol. The hatches are the worstttt
