I wouldn't give up My IS for the STI, although the 2011 STI does look good.

Might be good as a second car, but not the main one. Doe snot fit the young professional look of the IS2

I came from the sti camp, and I feel like I upgraded with the is350. Subaru was definitely a reliable car though Lexus owners seem to be on a high horse with the reliability issue

Was into the whole WRX/STI scene back in 2006 when I had my WRX. Thing was awesome, you can go almost anywhere with it. Do things I can only dream of in my 350.

But that was when I was 19 and subbies were the "in" thing. I am so glad I got out that boy racer scene. Honestly, I am glad I no longer fall into that whole "dc skater boys with wrx's" as thats the common stereotype that falls with owner one of those cars.

From here on out I can only see myself in a luxury sport coupe/sedan.

Unfortunately, that is never taken into consideration.

I'm 25 and I think I'm on the "ancient" side lol


The STi looks... pretty nice actually. Better than expected but a little loud for a stock car imo. Would definitely turn heads but I wouldn't trade my car for it, or most cars for that matter.

Man, is that car ugly. I like the previous body style much better. Hell, I like the hatch 2010 model better than that!

Nope not practicle for a DD but they did redo the body alot better IMO. I was never a bubble fan. The wing does look like blah.

+1

although the extra speed from the Sti certainly wouldn't hurt

2IS is way better interior, and exterior wise though.
