Yea I watched that video earlier. Maybe I'll hang on to the brz since it's resale is depreciating so drastically. Possibly boost it once the warranty is over but I've never owned a car for more than 3 years so well see how that goes.


Anyone wanna trade their sti for a brz?

I have a 2011 370 I bought for a specific autox class. Compared to the brz it does feel big and heavy, but it's also quite a bit more powerful. Blind spots are pretty bad in this car, but I got used to it. Car does make nice wookie sounds lol, and the synchro rev match makes me feel like a pro. They do tend to run high oil temps, and if temps get too high (such as on track) the car goes into limp mode. That's never happened to me in daily driving or autox even on the hottest days. All in all, I really like the car, but I'll be selling shortly for a brz/fr-s as the 370 got reclassed next year (stupid scca)

I'm selling my STi

The 5.0 mustangs are pretty nice. Maybe wait for the focus RS?

I would like another Hawkeye or 08-14 sti but going back to a previously owned car (gd) seems kinda weird to me for some reason.

The hatches are ideal but I hate the interior.

I change my mine about cars too often. Been looking at 15' mustangs, and golf r but not really interested in euros or domestics right now after bad previous experience.

Looking to fill a void after trading in my sti which I'm thinking is powahhh and awd. More powahhh though.
