And my" CHEVORLET Volt as a second car" thread gets moved in 8 posts with a commonality regarding both vehicles being ground breaking when they were first introduced.

the reliability is excellent as long as you have a solid tune. I made 150+ pass's at the dragstrip on my oem longblock/drivetrain with zero problems, the majority over 500whp. STi's really wake up with minor upgrades, huge aftermarket, very fun car to drive. Most people have a hard time with the "boy racer" image that the STi can sometimes impose, but with simple changes they can look much different.
this was my before and after dyno chart from stock vs bolt-on turbo kit + vp import fuel.

Well fellas so far iam loving my new STI. Been doing research on springs/sway bar kit. The handeling in my opinion is great from factory but for me id like less understeer corner entry and mid.
AS far as a buyer i sold my ex Z to a young gent who wants to strip the car for race.
In terms of my STI, i leased it for 42 month @ 3,9%. High 400 a month.
MSRP was 38750 , bought my car for 35400, this is not common for this car.
BURNIN 4, great looking car with very impressive hp.
The point to this is, ive allways paid top dollar for a NEW car. My STI will be perfect for me until the ZR1 drops in price and it will.
No way iam paying 90-112 for a car. Been there done that. NO MO.

you aren't really the typical subbie demographic, but whatever floats your boat. The cars are but ugly but I have to admit a blast to drive and very capable. You might want to check out http://forums.nasioc.com/

Appreciate all types opinions fellas.
All i need now is a set of lowering springs and an aggresive alignment but still got ways to go for proper break in.

Holy crapola! I though I was going crazy when I found myself test driving a 2011 STI two days ago!
Honestly, you cannot compare the two cars but the handling and precision from a heavier, 5-door car compared to the Z06 is surprising. The car felt great in transition. In a straight line it's not that bad but definiteyl needs a GT40R and 8400rpms!! (oops!)
How much did you pick your up for and from where? The local subaru wanted to give under $40k for my car and with a straight face! Unbelievable! Let me know as I'm in the market for one of these right now.
A WHITE HATCH 11' STI though no one seems to like the hatches.
