I gots me a new car

To give a little background, i was exploring everything from a vette to 135 to s2000. I have experience with rotaries and hondas so i decided that tq would be a priority this time. One drive in the STI and i was sold:

Nice! Congrats!

I am partial on the new STi's look..so far this is my fave body style of the STi's:

But in the end, it's not about looks, right?

I like it the best in red so far! Excellent choice of paint, any mods planned on her?

So what costs more, your monthly payment for the car or insurance?

Sick car, but I could never afford the insurance on it.

The insurance for that car (at least for me) was more than it would cost to insure an M5.

Thanks for the compliments!

Curiously enough my insurance is only $90/mo fully covered. Im going to stay conservative with it, at least in the beginning. I will probably start with Cobb Stage 1 ecu and move to TBE + tune a little later. Beyond that we are just going to have to see.

Congrats. I have a '02 bugeye WRX with lots of mods. I haven't had the pleasure of driving the new STI though. I actually have a C6 Vette too, but am looking for a e92 335i. It appears we have similar tastes in cars.

Congrats!

I had a 04' STi with COBB stage 2 AP, and it was a BEAST!

Have fun with your car

I've heard so many bad things about the new STi.

I'd say wait for the revised engine, but thats too late.
