I could not agree more, and the bets are on at work that I will be getting an MY11 STi sedan before Christmas, but when you own one they grow on you. Ask all the bugeye owners.
I did not even like my peanut to start with, thought my MY00 was pure beauty, still do! Should never have sold it for an R33 GTS-T.
Quick, but second gear in the rain from traffic lights=poo.
