Instant "OhhhH"

Ok, school lets out, its pouring out. Thunder and lightning, blah blah blah

So Im driving to go get my hair cut, and I go the back way to get there (actually I missed the real turn that i had to make, which i was pissed about)

*Note, this is when the rain stops....its starting to clear now*

Ok, now this route takes me right by a Subaru dealer. Im rounding the corner, and I see a piece of heaven. I notice a large, car carrier, but it only has one car on it. I slow down to take a look and yes, yes it was what you're thinking.

Brand spankin new grey STi. OMG it was so freaking gorgeous. lol, I almost got rearended because I basically came to a stop while gawking at the beautiful machine.

That made my day, I couldnt believe that I got to see a new STi, all I can say is that I WANT ONE!!!

Nah, it was grey...I think. At least the wing was. That was the first thing I looked at. It was so high in comparison to the WRXs

I didn't really care for the old front end. The new one looks a lot better. I'd drive an STi in a heart beat.

I saw a great head on head comparision of the Lancer Evolution VIII vs. the WRX STi. They're both amazing machines. The Evolution has a quicker 0-60 since it's 5 speed manual doesn't need a 2-3 shift, while the 6 speed of the WRX does, however the WRX takes the 1/4 mile by .1s. In the end the WRX is a bit faster due to it's higher displacment and it slightly outhandles the EVO

Forget the STi. There's a reason Subaru only allow three tranny repairs on the warranty....Ask someone who owns a WRX (same gear box).

I would rather spend less at Evolution Imports and pick up an Evo VII.

Ok, I'll bite. Why do they only allow 3 warranty trans repairs?

If they opnly allow 3 tranny repairs, that sounds like a lemon issue to me.

It is a lemon issue...I take nothing away from the car itself but really that should tell you something about Subarus confidence in the car...

EVO VII!

I still can't get over the crappy quality and reliability issues of the older Subaurus. In the earlier days of Japanese imports, Subaru was crap compared to Honda and Toyota.
