Yup. I've had a buegey wagon and blobeye sti and miss them a bit. Kinda worried about going back to just a WRX vs an STi though

I will keep my BRZ on a dry day all day long. Wouldn't mind a WRX winter beater though again. My WRX was making 250ft/lbs at the wheels so same as a stock STi anyway though.

Looked up prices for 2014 cts-v. Its not that bad at all.. I can probably pick one up in a year or two! Depreciation really is a bitch!
There's always the ATS-V.

Pre 2015, I personally would never consider a WRX after owning an STi.

Subaru really stepped it up on the 15+ WRX though.
Only way I'd consider getting an STi now is if they introduced a hatchback and put the new motor in it.

I wish they'd just give the regular WRX DCCD.

Except the 2015 is a boat imo. Love the way they look even but its just soo big for not being a wagon/suv

Dammit jawn, I really want to go buy one now!

This forum is bad for my health.. and my bank account.

Maybe I can find someone locally and ask to take it out for a spin.

Yeah I had to swap to my driveline with an 04 STi and get a universal DCCD aftermarket from some Canadian guy. It was the bees knees though no 2 ways about it.

Play indoor soccer today... Lost again, but by 1 goal. Not bad, specially the team I played against, half of them play in 2nd division of MLS.
