Why did you buy a Prius?

Oh wait that's a Subaru? My bad.

if you think that thing looks like a prius you havent seen a 07 spec v...

its not a bad looking subaru....but ill still never understand why they changed the design of a car that needed no changing, that drastically.

[blkZ06]

[TROLL]

if you really got one then sweet, good luck with it...

[CHAOS]

congrats on the purchase..but i still just cant get over how not scary they look anymore..i mean seroiusly they used to look pretty manly..now there just blah..but good purchase anyways man!

[05Accent]

yea i still dont like em

[igo4bmx]

the seats are really nice
fits us bigger americans much better

[OMGz Turbo]

worst pics in the entire world.

[DaveSTi]

god i hate this redesign. it's so blah and the performance just isn't worth putting up with the terrible looks or pricetag anymore.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

I was reading test drive results in Automobile and it said the STI did 0-60 in 5.3 seconds! I was like WTH! That seems like a couple steps backwards to me. Oh well, congrats...I have a feeling that the WRX/EVO are going to suffer the same kind of fate as the RX7 TT, Supra TT, 300ZXTT....great cars that just priced themselves out of the hands of the very people who would buy them.

[mylosteclipse]

worst pics in the entire world.

ya sorry i'm not a good picture taker. Guess ya gotta deal wit it.

[MPowerKai]

Congrats on your new purchase, I still don't really like them though but as long as you do thats the most important thing

[ozthunder]

The design has grown on me, and congrats on the purpose, but the price tag would have made me beyond leery.

[S4Turk]

not a fan of wagons

[Cardriverx]

hatch ppl, hatch

[agoodall]

is that the new ford focus?:)

[Gregory]

Just like any new body style, it takes some time for it to grow on me, and I'm not quite liking it yet, but if you're happy, that's awesome.

And you never said how you went from a beater eclipse to a brand new STI?

[MuddyREX]

I LOVE the new STI's, but I would never pay almost 40 grand for one. You got to be out of your mind.

What does it freaking matter? Be happy the guy got a new car, no need to grill him about his financial life.

You ruin every post. Im not sure who you think you're impressing with your constant protection of people, nobody cares. It was one question, you do this in every thread that involves any questioning of someone. Its not like they ridiculed his mom or picked about his mental health, they asked about his financial status. Maybe he has some quick money making secret, wouldn't you want to know about that?

Either way, Id give the looks a 5/10 but the interior appears to be a 9/10(id have to sit in one, but it looks to be top notch)

Who's grilling?

Sheesh.

[HickRocket1258]

I don't like STIs much but I don't mind them at all either. Nice purchase man and hope you are happy with it.

whats wrong with doing that?

[Ender81]

Yeah I've seen it in person and ummm yeah, but anyway I dig the seats, congrats on your new car.

[ozthunder]

lol, if you buy a Subaru for the interior I will throw up the :fail: flag all day long.

[Ender81]

I wouldn't buy anything for the interior, but I would swap those seats into my car without thinking twice.

[ozthunder]

Well I see that, I just want to make it known that I personally think that buying a Subaru for the interior is sort of like buying...I dunno..an Aztek to be aesthetically pleasing.

I know it would be like buying a GTO (the monaro not a real GTO) for it's interior and stylish good looks :-p


Sorry couldn't help myself. Back on topic the OP has bought an 08 STI......

[ozthunder]

lol...my interior > that interior.

We need moar pics.

[dragonfly2k3]

[mylosteclipse]

thank you specrv9.

[doug]

my interior > your interior/that interior

[ozthunder]

Nah, not even close :wink: Mine's like a baseball mitt, and it has alcantara and leather everywhere. For a "Pontiac", it's gorgeous. Not to mention the backseats are true buckets.

Maybe you should come to Exton to see? lol

I guess you havent seen a limited's interior

[ozthunder]

It's just a leather wrapped STi interior right? It's probably very nice, but I doubt it'd be substantially better. The only saving grace on this thing is the fact the interior is beyond what GM likes to do. But I've never sat in a Limited, so eh, it's probably preference too.

I know one thing, that both are better than whatever **** they put in the 350Z. Is your dash leather/soft material bound?

Haha.. im just bruising your balls dylan... the seats aren't the same as the STi seats, theyre all leather/heated with STi stitched in it really nicely.. leather wrapped steering wheel and side panels etc etc.. i love my interior, and the GTO's are nice too. you'll sit in mine soon enough, dont worry lol.

I dunno bout the dash.. maybe? lol.. it looks nice at least. My leather in the Z wasn't bad.. but the subies is much better.

[ozthunder]

Damn you, Douglas, damn you.
