Haha. SO jealous. I've been a fan of the new STIs, both hatchback and sedans.

So hmm.. does this mean you have to change your username now?

ya they really nailed it with this design IMO. I know looks are subjective but 'm fully satisfied. I'll miss the z but I have no regrets.

Why switch from a Z to an STI?

Fairly equal performance coupled with far more practicality?

That plus the additional power potential with mods and I wanted something with awd and boost. Plus I can take this to the mountains. The z was too much of a garage queen. I never enjoyed it because I was always worried about it. This car I'm actually going to USE.

Probably because automatics suck

actually, I kinda feel the same way. I would love to add an STI to our stable and use it as practical car while keeping the nismo for fun/track. BUT, one of my requirements for the DD car is that it is an auto or dct type trans. If the STI came with a automated manual like the EVO mr etc, i'd be very very tempted.
