Default Test drove an STi

Ive driven the step down the 220 hp version of the wrx before, and decided to go take a look at the Sti. This was an 04 with some mods but basically the stock STi, i wasn't really looking to buy just to get a feel of the extra 80 hp, and i have decided i will have an 05 STI one of these days. It handled like a dream and pulled like a 200$ hooker. It was a little darty on the freeway and a bit rough riding, but hey its a small car with short wheelbase. My suggestion to all of you is just go test drive one at a dealership, if only to beat it a bit.

Have you test driven an Evo? (specifically, an VIII) I'd give it a go, if only just for comparison's sake.

Same power, smoother ride, different looks.

Never hurts to have some options.

Up until about a month ago we had an 05 STI. That ltl car was bad ass and I loved it. It had several mods and was lowered. I will have another one of these days!!!! If you decide to get one you won't be disappointed

Would love to have one for a winter DD. That would be awesome in snow.

I miss it VERY much. It was really Jeeps but I feel in love with it and he was sweet enough to let me drive it all the time. All I can say is if you get it you will love it. You can ask him about the mods he did all I know is that thing would fly!
