Not the 1998-2001 models... hehe.Originally Posted by SmaartAasSaabr
Subarus ALWAYS look goofy no matter if it is 1968, 1988 or 2008
Still I like it better than the last one, but the aesthetics don't really make me want to buy one... sorry Staton but I think I am going to need a balls-to-the-wall test drive to appreciate this
Sorry, I forgot about that one, I struck the last gen from my mind, because IMO its ugly also.Nah, the front end of that one looked all goofy. The one before that, the "droop eyes" version, was better.
But I like this one best, hatch < sedan
These are the ones that I like.
And you are right Hatch < Sedan.
After a nice throrough test drive of the 04, 05, 06, 07, and 08 STi, I have to say the 06's felt the best all around. The 04s were wicked tail happy. I had a deposit on an 07 STi limited but the dealer dropped the ball. The 08s are a let down in front end looks and vehicle dynamics. Most of the members on NASIOC will agree with me on that last one. I would actually pic up a new Focus RS, assuming it is manufactured in Europe and imported, over this 08 STi.
Puma Power!!!
Don't be a lemming!! Follow your own destiny!!!
Ducati Team 2013 FORZA DUCATI!!!!
yea i dont rele like it..nor the new evo..those 2 cars are ruined...
Yeah, good luck with that...
^ Yeah, watch out for one which might not exactly have passed that "engine knock test"....thestaton, you might want to read-up a bit more about this one, before going with a second-hand '08.

Being as that I won't be driving it nearly as hard as some of y'all here ( brother gearhead PMoth comes directly to-mind), I can honestly say that I'll be more than happy with its performance capabilities, as well as will be making a push at the wifey for this versatile 5-door hatch, this coming spring, when I'd have to make the decision of whether or not I want to hang on to my Legacy (for a long time).
The '05 STi lost-out, due to its much more boy-racerish looks, in my attempt to convince the wifey that it was the "right 4-door for me to step up to," from my even more boy-racerish DSMs. I think I might have had her convinced with the '07 STI-Limited, but that, alas, wasn't an option for me, when I'd needed it (I actually almost ended-up in an '05 WRX wagon, BTW, before I fell in-love with "Winky," my Legacy).
I truly love the stance and the overall aesthetics of the '08 STI. OK, so I'm not a big fan of its tail-lights, but some laminate can easily take care of that..... Although I'm decidedly not much of a fan of the '08 WRX, the wider, meaner, more purposeful stance of the STI just grabs me - and there's one that parks near to my Legacy, in my work parking deck, nearly every week, and I the more I see it, the more I covet it.
It just so happens, as JDS will remember from our earlier exchanges, that the '08 STI - in that dark grey color which I love, from thestaton's first post up above - is the only car that Anna, then barely two years old, *kissed* (yep, that's right, a full smooch) at the local car-show.
Go figure.....
too many doors.
they need to make it a 2 door coupe. I don't get this fascination with 4-door performance cars. to me 4-door and performance should not even be used in the same sentence.
That's my opinion too... hell when I was a kid (1 of 2) the family car was a 2 door coupe
same here. when I was a kid and it was only me and my brother left at home(I have 5 siblings) my dad had a 2 door Saab. I remember going to OH from MA every summer in that car it was so much fun.That's my opinion too... hell when I was a kid (1 of 2) the family car was a 2 door coupe
I still think that's strange...and yet oddly encouraging
I still think this is the proper shape for any performance car:
Of course, preferably with the engine behind the driver, as such:
