I still see way more of the last body style than the new one on the road. The last model looked real nice in black.

I did one at 1000 miles, and another at 4000 miles and did the third one early, (should have been at 7000 miles) the recommended schedule according to the owners manual is a oil and filter change at 3000 miles, not 5000 miles like alot of other Japanese cars.
Supposedly, they went to a hatch because of WRC rules, etc., and supposedly less overhang behind the rear wheel so as you slide around corners, there is less bodywork to catch on trees and bushes, etc. At least that is the rumors. Who knows. I had a 06 STI with the bat wing and although that STI was more fun to drive the wing was a cop and high school kids in civic magnet.
