Hey ,
I've got it Today. I cant fully test it because i'll Run it in oldschool
(I know what some will say but ive done it to all my Cars its like an Ritual for me so no need for a War
)
MY08 fist Impression is that it isnt as soft some testers said it is.Maybe on a Track or Runway but on normal Roads you feel most bumps worth noticing.
The "intelligent mode" is crap imo , sport is perfekt for the City and Motorway.
Sport# is pulls like a Train out of all revs ive tryed.
The elektronic Gimmicks (ESP,ABS...) are almost unnoticable , they dont "cut down" the the Power so much like in for Example an BMW 130.You need to push it bigtime to activate them and thats in the safest setting.
As soon it has more Miles on it will be fully testet but even without trashing
it like an Idiot it was a great ride

you ought to consider joining Subaru Impreza Drivers Club (Powered by Invision Power Board) which is an internet forum and Car Club
http://www.sidc.co.uk/membership/signup.php
Most dealers reconise it and give discounts on servicing, parts and labour, also get discounted show ticket etc etc. doesn't take long to get the annual fee back
IMHO
there are still a few friendly Peeps on here

As a previous Focus RS owner, may I ask one question.
WTF did you change the alloys for? Sorry but those alloys you have on it look sh*te. The standard OZ Racing alloys look gorgeous.
Second question.
Are those alloy covers on the STI? or have you added sh*te wheels to that too?

He's right though, the wheels on the RS look awful.
STI looks very nice though

very nice car mate. I am very tempted to chop my 325i coupe in for one, had a k reg type RA many moons ago followed by 3 Evo's and a 535d beemer until recently..... I yearn for one of these MY 08 WRX STI's...reminds me of the escort cossie, Intergrale era, Know what I mean ?

Welcome to the club mate!! As some have already said, ignore the plums on this site. I agree on the RS wheels but the new scoob looks good. Im toying with the idea myself, but it will need to be a big difference to the one i have to tempt me.
As for the crap about the design of the car, i had the same thing myself when i got my hawkeye and now many who crapped on the idea of the new car have changed their minds!!
Enjoy

MY08 STi
Welcome to the MY08 STi club.
When you skip the bile and jealousy, and if you can ignore the drama queen ranting and baiting from the uninformed and uneducated, then you will find some useful stuff on here. Just takes a bit of filtering.
PS. I get my front fogs fitted on Monday afternoon.
