Just bought a 05 WRX

Hey All,

just bought a blue 05 wrx today with the spoiler and short shift kit, I am loving it!! I am 17 years old and traded-in my 2004 Honda Civic EX w/ a few mods (I/H/E..).

I was surprised, but my insurance is actually $150 less a year than the Civic. Which is awsome.

This is my first stick shift car, so I'm slowly learnin how to drive it, tips are appreciated.

Very nice buy! I hope your Subaru will bring you as much enjoyment as mine has brought me. As for the stick, just go out to a hilly parking lot and practice. Thats the best mod for your car right there. Unlike those damn shifty CAI's.......

They gave me $13,500 for my 2004 Civic EX Coupe. The total for the WRX was $25,XXX. My monthly payment is $329.94. Oh yeah, I had $2,000 down. My payoff on the Civic was $15,889.10.

I pay for my car, gas, insurance myself as I work. So no, my parent's didn't buy it for me.

I think I've learned stick pretty well, just got to get more practice on going from a stop.

I will posts some pics when I take some today.

good job man! take your time to learn stick and the car.there is a big difference from a ex to wrx.
make sure not to rev over 4rpm for the first 1.000miles or your car will never work like it should.

congrats!!!

Have fun,
find some flat dirt or light gravel area and go nuts getting to know the car. Get it sideways and every wich way. I had a two hour midnight snow ride last year on Xmas eve outside of Tahoe in a half foot of fresh, It was magic!
