Hey All,
After a year hiatus from my '02 Subbie wagon w/Vishnu stage 1 for a Porsche Carerra cab, I am missing the Subbie. The only car I'd consider selling the Porsche for is the new STI. I understand it's better than the '08 by a mile, but haven't found too much from owners and I don't see many on the road. What do you hear or have to say about them? :wavey:

well....I love it, more room inside (fold down back seat, I can throw my road bike in the back), adjustable DCCD + power output (intelligent, sport, sport sharp).

If you want a ugly, slow, and a car that feels like a truck go with the 09m sti. the 2010 are gonna have some good change. or you go with the best sti, 2005-2006.

04caliwrx - I read that the '09's were a big improvement in terms of performance to '08's. Hmm. I'll have to see what info's available for the '10. Thx for the info.

Wow - I just read one article about the '10 version tested at Nurbering(sp?). Speculated +20 hp, +10 mph increased top speed, and possibly up to -15 second decrease in lap times. Holy crap....

I've had my '08 for a few months and I'm liking it. Sure its different from the previous version, but the power is great (in S#) and the grip is crazy for how supple the suspension is.

...there will always be another better car coming ;)

My opinion on the 09?

:puke:

But that's me. To each their own.

Update - I got a new '09 STi - silver w/5 spokes. Love it!!! I'm sooo happy to be back in a Subbie! While I only have 400 miles on it and breaking it in slow, I can tell that there is some grunt to it comparable to my old WRX and 996....oh but with sooo much more potential. I'm already getting my list of upgrades ready ;)

Any input on 'quiet' exhausts for this car that increase power? I had the Helix downpipe and Borla Hush on the old WRX and liked the tone/sound of that.

Will COBB Accessport void warranty?

Any recommendation on East Bay tuners?

i would break it in before u mess with it cuz bolt ons can void warrenty but i think the accesport is undectable at the dealer if u flash it back to stock. gst in hayward is great
