Yes i did own a 07 sti with ecutek and tbe with 202 kw atw but theres something with this new sti. its the fact that its easier to drive fast and I think that the new rear suspension has something to to with it. It also just launches
so cleanly and the acceleration is not unlike my old bombed sti. Yes the interior is plasticy but it ten times better than the old one and looks up to date.
Overall its a polished piece of machinery and a credit to subaru.
The STI has grown up!!!!

Easy to drive fast I can attest to - had my photo taken 1 week after purchased mine (didnt even realise I was 15k over until the flash)

First photo in 5 years as normally stay vigilant if on the "high side" of the posted limit.

Nice work mate!!! What rim package did you get with it...is it the 18" (BBS?)?

Pics would be nice as soon as you get a chance

The r spec gets the bbs wheels


my std spec 08 sti gets the normal 18's and the "fat american" seats thats te only difference between the two

(i couldnt justify the extra 5k for wheels and seats, i prefer the look of the std wheels, and although i loved the r spec seats, i drive my car everday and i think for everyday use they would get uncomfortable fast...)
