New to Subie!!!
Hey everyone! I'm a new guy here in Northern VA. I have not gotten my SUBIE yet only because I need help. I love all STi's. I cant decided between the hatch or not older models. I love them all!!! Any input from any STi owners would be awesome. This is my dream car and I need help on deciding what way to go!!!!

ultimately its your decision. what are you looking for?
-extra room for "junk"...hatch
-sportier look (imho)...sedan
-which front end is your favorite? any sti will be a great car...
-money tight? older model = cheaper.
good luck finding what you are looking for, no matter what way you go, you will love it.
i had an 03 that i loved, and at the time was the only body style i liked...
the 04/05 grew on me, now i love it
i didnt like the 06/07 grille, then it grew on me. now i love it.
i hated the "mazda3" hatch 08-10 when it was released... now i own one...so i guess you could say i love it.

Thanx! the only thing I dont like on the hatch is the grill other then that i have some issues credit wise but i just got a new job working for the government on a long term contract. I can quickly save 5 grand for a down payment and fix my credit for a few months before i get it. It would take about 5-6 months so buy winter time I should have it. But I love all STi's but getting one used worries me i dont what it modded nor driven hard...

Well i have decided that I am going to find me an 08 by xmas this will be a present to myself! But it so has to be an STi. It seems like it would hold a big guy like me better then the sedan. I think of it this way if I fit in a 93 honda prelude I should be good in a 4 door hatch.

Congrats on the pick! Keep us posted with your upcoming STi. And when you do get it, TAKE SOME PICTURES!
Once again welcome to i-club!
This is my car, hopefully you get a white one because WHITE is the way to GO! (haven't done much to it though LOL)

Yea im very excited today is my last day smoking as well every penny i can put aside to get my RIDE!!!! Now to get advice on color, I like black but yet white is so sexy. I dont plan on doing too much to it just a cobb stage 2, down pipe, lip kit, coil over and wheels, I am going to keep the stock wheels for winter use here because in NOVA roads can suck when it snows (just means more fun in the WRX). I can see it now White with carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber lip. I do like the chargespeed kits but i have had enogh bad experiances with fiberglass kits (bomex integra).
Thank you all for the warm welcome and AlanNgo that ride looks SICK man!
