Man i went twice to trade my 04 STi on an 08 STi but i cannot get past the looks of the hatchback plus the softening of the car they did ...Gears are long and the car just does not feel like the same animal ...rather than snapping heads back in accels like luxury car....I also tested the new evo...but that sucker is heavy and the backend is high and funky....NOW The BMW 135i is badass but they want like 40-45 here! and it's rear wheel drive but this thing is sooooooooooo sexy same lb's as STi and same ponies with 2 little turbos!

I kinda need AWD so i guess i'm stuck with my 04 for awhile unless i can get a 135i and keep my STi...I just don't see myself ever buying another STi unless they bring back the rawness.

 

09 they are doing alot of changes

10 they are redoing it

 

you say ruin

I say make better

 

I have two problems with the new STi: The tail lights and the price.

 

I don't have any problems with the new STI, just the new WRX. The sedan is especially awful. You have to admit the new WRC car is bad ***....

 

I am not a fan of the 08 STi's either. I think they should have at least offered it in a sedan as well for those of us that don't want a mazda.

 

I love the hatch. Hope they stay hatches.
and yes the WRC car rocks.

 

i enjoy the new STi greatly.

 

if only the new STI came in Sedan version ... i would go trade in my Bugeye in a heartbeat

 

Yeah, the sedans don't look as, eh, offensive, you could say. I'd be interested to see the current STi treatment applied to a sedan.

 

The new STi is kinda of growing on me I hated it at first but now I kinda like them now

 

I like the 08! they really didnt appeal to me, but i would look into getting one. I love my05 too much though

 

If it wasn't for the money, I'd being driving a brand new STi right now.

ruin? I think not

 

I'm pretty happy with mine. I think even if they offered a sedan I'd still get the hatch because of functionality.

And the tinted tails look awesome
