i mean yeah, you can get something more powerful, or handles better, or ( insert reason)
But if you get a good deal on one that isnt riced or butchered its a pretty fun ride
Why the hate?

They're pretty much all riced or butchered, though. I don't think anybody on Veeky Forums hates a nice clean and tasteful WRX/STI, unless the owner is an obnoxious Ken Block fanboy or vapebro.

This, fuck ebay level mods.
Zachary Garcia
It really is perfect in wagon form. It's as much power as most people can practically use most days on most roads. Plenty of room to carry things. Reliable if you don't drive it like a faggot. Gearbox is only glass if you're doing hard launches and shitty downshifts every damn day. Drive smoothly when you hoon and it will not break.
Downsides
>Premium fuel tax. Fuck paying $2.90 for premium when Regular is $2.20
>No option to put regular fuel in without lots of knock
>Eats brake rotors like there's no tomorrow even when I barely use them (happened on Outback wagon too so idk if it's just a subaru quirk)
>In sedan form with a wing, cops will love you
>It's not 2002 anymore so nobody is impressed with them

Tfw I own a clean stock STI and have plenty of boyracers speed up to wave in completely riced out WRX's/STI's
Oliver Thomas
I actually really like subarus, it's just that 90% of owners now either ruin them with gaudy mods for street cred or think they're ken block and constantly drive like twats. I'm thinking about buying a saabaru as my next car so hopefully that will keep the vapeboys away
Jordan Lopez
This makes me sad that I'll probably never find one as clean as mine was. I got it right off lease in '05, stock except for wheels and shocks+springs and with only 35k on it. Selling it in '12 was one of the most painful things I've ever done.
Thomas Robinson
How much you sell for? How many miles it have?

If you go and slam it to the ground then there's other RWD cars that that will outperform it for the price of a non-molested Subaru. If you use it as a rally car it makes sense but otherwise the awd is barely useful with 200hp on tap and winter is going to be shit with an inch of ground clearance.
Isaiah King
AWD offers alot more grip and stability than RWD
