Looks good, I've seen elite doing some high end cars on Oakes Detail FB page lately so they must do nice work.

How do you like that ST? I considered one of them but went with the Mazda.

Really like the ST for what it is so far. I miss my Z so much though. But the ST is a great all around car. Still really fun to drive with good mpgs, and I got the ST3 so I have the works... nice leather/heated/power seats, nav, sun roof, HIDS etc. I drove the MS3 and WRX too but found the ST to be the best all around for me

Good to hear, I wish my speed3 had full leather and heated seats, that's my one complaint about the interior. I loved the 300z back in the 90's, then the 350z and 370z, they are nice cars.

Interesting. I would have thought between the ST and the WRX, the subie would have won. AWD, a tad more cargo space and a better resale. What made you pick the ST in the end out of curiosity?

I really wanted a WRX, love them. But for the money the ST is way better. WRXs are way overpriced for what you get. I got an ST3 with 12k miles on it which looked brand new. The only WRXs available in the same price were beat to crap with like 40-50k miles. I could have spent more to get a new/newer used one. But as much as I wanted a WRX I just couldn't justify that much extra money for much less quality interior/overall feel, way less features and worse gas mileage. Cargo space isn't too much different and the resale is still yet to be determined since the ST is still new.

Thats true. I was comparing the two of them, and the base WRX was about the same price as the ST with the ST2 or 3 package on it. You do get more with the ST. I like the overall looks, but the recaro seats look really uncomfortable lol But that's true about the resale on the ST's, should be fun to see. Enjoy the new rig brother

Thanks bud! Depends on what package you get. I couldn't get an ST2 because of the seats. I couldn't fit in the cloth ones, my shoulders are too wide haha. The leather is waaaaay better. Now that I've worn my seat in I fit perfectly and its really comfy.

Yea, a 14 year old GMC (back when they actually built decent cars), vs new GM with 6.3 million recalled cars in the last few years. Chevy being among them. No thanks. I'll stick with a Subaru lol.

the 1LE starts at about what, $34k out the door, with no options? Why the hell would you spend that much on a v8 when you can get a LOADED ST3 focus ST for 5 grand less than that (about $29.5k out the door)? Even better, a base model WRX for about the same price as the ST. Higher resale, better insurance rates and AWD (subaru only) so you aren't useless in the winter. On top of that both the ST and the wrx post about the same for 1/4 mile times (about 14.0 or slightly less, vs the 12.7 of the camaro, again winner to the fast, but loser in the snow). So it comes down to what do you get for the price. Chevy is good. If you lived in ****ing Florida where they don't get much snow. On the other hand, with the WRX you get better resale, better gas mileage, and still maintain the ability to get from A to B in the winter months. Chevy doesn't quite get the whole "Comparable models" theory when it comes to cars other than competing against the mustang. Again, i'd look past all of that if they weren't balls deep in a recall for being ****ing cheapskates and ****ting on their customers. Chevy's are nice, don't get me wrong, but bang for the buck, Chevy is in last place.

Price on that particular model of the 1LE? Probably closer to 38k lol. No thanks. I do plan on getting a new place sometime in the very near future. Cant bog my entire finances up with one car.
