The total package, from its rally pedigree to that lovely rumble (or howl for twin scrollers).

I'm on my second STI - like many on here, I liked the car enough to buy another! I like the burble, the turbo and the super-comfortable seats. I'm 6'6" tall and this is by far the comfiest car I've ever driven.

Sadly I only discovered this a full YEAR after Scooby ownership... after buggering about with the fusebox thinking something was wrong!

Yes, I'm an idiot....

Must be a classic thing... Cars from this decade are able to turn the lights off themselves when the engine goes off. Or are you talking about something totally different?

On the classics at least there is a switch on the steering column that you can use to turn the side and rear lights on with the ignition off

My personal fave - sticking it into 3rd at about 30mph and just flooring the accelerator

And of course the burble, the bright switch, the look of awe on young boys faces when you rumble past..... and people always saying 'bet that goes a bit' in garages.
