Maybe my expectations were too high but it was a very cool car. Sound from the exhaust and fake exhaust noise were nice actually. Also I personally like how it looks in Nitrous Blue.

I just knew I would be trading it in the moment they made an STI with an FA motor in it, so i walked away and now that I have time to think about it I know I made the right choice.

Oh yeah and they are having wayyy too many issues over there in focus world... leaking transmission fluid, the infamous head gasket issue, who can really bother with that junk on their DD???
Wait wait, did i say that stuff??? Well this is awkward. I'm buying an RS tomorrow.
