What do you think of the new STIs? I kinda miss the bug-eyes of the old subie, but the new one is growing on me, especially from the rear of the car. And 300hp with AWD certainly doesn't hurt!
More importantly, the new Impreza WRX is nearly a full blown STI! The 09 has 268hp!!
I drive a VW MkIV GTI 337 thats been lightly modified and is blast to drive around. I plan on "upgrading" to an STI sometime in the reasonably near future, but I can't get over how good the gas mileage in my VW is for its performance level...I've heard from a few STI owners that the mpg is only so-so for it.
In the mean time, I still enjoy dusting Civic Si's in my VeeDub.
