    My Scooby — I love my car. Having AWD and a turbo is nice. The performance is what I mainly got the car for but it is very dependable. The only issue is the gas because I HAVE to fill with Super Unleaded. 91 or above octane. But the gas mileage isn't so bad.

    Pros: Everything

    Cons: Not many

    Hell Yeah. Its By Far The Best Car I Have Ever Owned And Probably Will Never Sell It! — Its the best!! Its amazing in performance and looks! I can go out and drive it everyday take it to the track and whoop up on most cars that pull up next to me. There are many performance upgrades for the car and it really has a great car community supporting the brand!

    Pros: It is REALLY fast looks really good!

    Cons: It sucks making really long road trips with it. Your back gets soar. But going 100+ MPH who cares!!!!!

    Subaru Wrx Sti — This car is quick for the engine it has very nice handling and goes around turns without a problem the all wheel drive system keeps the car on the ground and i havent had any problem slipping out in the rain or snow pretty expensive to maintain, needs high grade oil and tires are big 225/45-17 stocks

    Pros: Very fun car to drive

    Cons: Feel every bump, most def ment for the track

    Subaru Sti — It is by far the most amazing rally bread car ever. Combined with Cobb Tunning and a new turbo back exhaust the car is great. There is no car you can buy for the price of the this car that can match it out of the door. I love this car.

    Pros: Fast, great turbo and interior.

    Cons: Nothing i love it

    My Favorite Car — I got this car for graduation. I did a turbo upgrade and full suspension upgrade. Now i have a built stage 3 motor, just under 600hp. I love my car and I would never get rid of it. It is by far my favorite car I have ever had. It gets horrible gas mileage but it isn't built to have good gas mileage. It is a BLAST to drive.

    Pros: Everything

    Cons: gas mileage

    Sti — Let's see... horsepower, torque, reasonable weight, 6mt, handling... let's tear up some curvy roads! USDM jumbo seats hold not bad, maybe have to look into some JDM skinnies... more power is very easy to unlock, and the sound of the engine with an after-market exhaust... bliss! = new addiction is this not already beyond 50 words??

    Pros: everything

    Cons: haven't owned it long enough

    I Love My Sti — i really like how this car can launch like no other! it is a beast to drive on the street. i love how they have integrated the intercooler spray which helps it to cool down the car after you tune it. however it does have a bit of understeer and its differential isnt as good as the evo's. i really do like the evo mr seats just a bit more than the sti's. i really like how they are such a good building block though. the gt35r turbo kit helps a lot with its performance! another thing that i really like is the fact that agency power makes tons of parts for it. the ap exhaust i got for it sounds like no other! i love it!

    Pros: good building block and a really fast car!

    Cons: not as good of a differential than the evo and a bit of understeer

    05 Sti User Review — Accelerates, Brakes, and handles like no other on the track stock. Looks very aggressive so you have to be aware of cops at all times for even going 5 over. Gas mileage is about 19 city/ havent done any highway driving. It is the best vehicle I have ever driven and its known for its safety.

    Pros: Amazing car for any car enthusiast

    Cons: can attract too much attention and tight suspension is hard on bumps.

    My Dream Car — I absolutely love this car. I started off driving my boyfriends '06 Impreza 2.5i and got used to that. About a year later I ended up driving the '05 seen in this photograph. It handled great, but then again it was off the lot so...

    Pros: AWD DCCD brembo breaks

    Cons: needs some gold BBS rims and tinted windows lol
