God damn Impreza's are ugly but can't beat the performance n choice of mods. Unlike the g so lame n limited. I look forward to seeing the Ferrari badge on the Subaru.

Here she is. 2017 with 10k miles. There's really no comparison between the 7at and 6mt so there' that. The G is much more a luxurious refined car. The STI is more raw drivers feel. The steering is heavy and mechanical. The G steering was soft and compliant in a good way but not near as connected to road feel. The STI Is noisy, road noise compared to the G. The G exhaust sound is much more pleasing. I have a tomei on the STi as well. The 18 wrx STi has a super expensive windshield engineered to reduce road noise exponentially I may opt to have my windshield swapped depending on cost. The G felt faster down low due to STi boost lag. 5k rpm in sport Sharpe is insane. Gobs of power. I can definitely recommend making the switch if your looking for a more connected driver experience. The G was great and I'm not sure if I could have justified making the switch if I had 6mt sedan. Since baby is due in June it was the right choice for us. Lmk if you have more questions. I'm still learning what the STi has to offer.











Congrats to you and your family. Enjoy the ride and hope to see you back here in the future.
