I brought the car because my 89 MR2 SC stalled on the 1st day of my son school opening, beside the STi looks very cool.

I got it cuz I loved the WRX when it first came out. That sales guy made the mistake of telling me that the STi would be brought over. So I waited. I love the JDM HID's for the 02/03 so I'm thinking of doing a swap. hehe

No. I bought mine because it has ok power, AWD so I can drive it year round in all weather conditions, great safety rating, and 4 doors so that I can carry my kids, and a good suspension. I'm a performance minded driver and need a car like this on a daily basis. I'm use to having 400whp on tap so 245 to the wheels is just 'ok' (actually it feels pretty slow to me) except for 1st gear.

It was just one of the many reason that contributed to my decision of buying a WRX...of course I had 3 years to come up with (lots of) reasons, from the time I decided I'll get one (summer of '01) to the time I had the means to (fall of '04). :]

I am a huge fan of the WRC though, and I seriously hope Petter Solberg can repeat his performance of a couple years ago and beat out that damn Loeb and his Xsara.

Last time I took my STi in there was a note made that the underside had a lot of red dirt on it. Hmmm.... Wonder how that got there? ;-)
