opinions on 2011 Subaru STI

semtex · 10-27-2011, 09:56 AM

Oh and btw, my STi sedan turns heads all the time. People literally stop on the sidewalk as they walk by and stare. I've had plenty of compliments as I gas up or whatever too. Personally, I think it's a no-brainer that the Z looks nicer. And I actually avoid looking at my STi from certain angles. But I guess people still appreciate that it's not your average car, hence the head-turning. Indeed, my perception of the STi's looks is no doubt influenced by the fact that I had a Z. Were my reference point a more average looking car, my perception of the STi's looks would undoubtedly be more favorable.

The STI definitely gets a ton of looks. Some because people know what it is, some because it is very over the top.

It is definitely a love/hate sorta thing....I totally understand why people don't like the look, but I'm a fan.

It has an element of "boy racer" to it, especially with the clear tails and huge wing.

But for those familiar with rally racing, it looks really cool.

I saw a white one a few months back with real aggressive mud flaps and high profile dirt tires. I had a hard time hiding my erection.

That's funny. I've been telling my wife she's "such a boy racer" since we picked it up. LOL!
