    I Love This Car! — The 2004 STi was the introductory year of the high performance Subaru Imprezas in North America. Prior to that year, this high performance model, known as the WRC in the rest of the world, was only available in Europe and Asia. My STi is mostly stock....with the exception of 18" O-Z Prodrive wheels, Kumho Ecsta Supra tires, and running with Royal Purple 5w-30 High Performance Motor Oil, Royal Purple 75w-90 MaxGear Gear Oil in the tranny and rear diff, and Purple Ice additive in the cooling system. Planned mods are the SPT high flow intake w/heat shield and SPT catback exhause, with computer tweaks to optimize performance.

    Pros: AWD, 300hp/300 ft lbs torque, great handling, and very stylish

    Cons: A little tough on gas if you have a hard time keeping your foot out of it...:)

    2004 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sti — With 300 HP and 300 ft/lbs. tq, this thing is amazing! fastest car I've ever personally owned and it handles tight. The best part about this car is that an investment of around $6k will have it up to 500 HP and you can pretty much beat any car on the road under $200,000.00

    Pros: Fast, handles well, looks great

    Cons: Stiff suspension makes your teeth chatter over the slightest bumps

    This Is A Car.... — When my foot connected with the accelerator it was "love" the noise the car made was just terrific. As soon as you sit down in the seat you know you are one with the car you can turn a corner and know that the car will be able to do it it is just whether your pants will be able to finish the same way they started. Overall just a excellent car to drive, to own even would be a great thing to have, to look at.

    Pros: Braking, Handling and acceleration just excellent

    Cons: Not as fast as a Mitsubishi Evo VII

    Track Day Special — The grip from the 4x4 system is awesome when allied to the potent 2ltr turbo engine. Great to throw into the corners

    Pros: Amazing speed

    Cons: Bland Japanese interior

    So Fast... — AWD so great for driving in the snow and launching off the line. Top mount intercooler allows for a functional hood scoop and fast spool up time for the turbo, in most gears below 3000 RPM's. Boxer engine keeps weight and center of gravity low to the ground making it ideal for hard fast turns with low to no body roll.

    Pros: Fast, fun and beautiful

    Cons: Expensive

    Best Ride Yet — This car is just BADASS. Love the look of the car and it is seriously fast..its not a ferrari but burning muscle cars and taking hairpins at 60mph is great.. Its a small car with the heart of a beast

    Pros: Handling....easy to drive...

    Cons: turbo lag...

    Amazing Performance And Value — I bought an 04 STi as soon as it came out, it is by far the most sports car for the money you can get without spending twice the price. This is a car that's equally as happy on a glistening frozen lake as it is on the tarmac at Laguna Seca. I've taken mine to many tracks days and still use it as a daily driver.

    Owner for 3 years, 9 months

    Miles Driven per Year:22,000

    Pros: Power
    AWD handling
    Variable Center Differential
    Passenger space (it has a full backseat)
    Very Reliable
    Great Seats (strong bolsters)

    Cons: 4 doors - this car should be a coupe like the previous gen 2.5RS
    Expensive parts ($1k for pads/rotors)
    Noisy (can be helped with sound deadening)

    Full Control — a car that will have your heart beat accelerate for the performance you get from such a small compact piece of excellence.

    Pros: Acceleration & Handling. a perfect car for a crowded city.

    Cons: you feel bored driving it on the highway for more than 15 mins

    Subie Love — Love the power the subie offers right outta the box. The ability to mod is awesome as well. I love the way it looks and can't drive it enough!! It makes driving much more fun than it was with any other car.

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: Everything!

    Cons: None found yet

    My Sti — The performance level of this car is amazing: the way it accelerate, brakes and handle. One downside about the handling is the under-steer (in hard driving). Every time i drive it, i got a big smile on my face. and of course, the adrenalin is pumping... It's an amazing machine, very reliable. pure fun!

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: A lot of power, the amount of grip is phenomenal

    Cons: Fuel consumption
