Hi Guys, I have been a member here for a while and thought it best if I made a topic in this section rather than the 'bling me up' section as i now have a few mods done to my car.
This is my first car, so a lot of things im learning as I go but so far it has been great fun. I initially saw the STi wagon in the show room back in 2007 and thought to myself "I have to have one of those", but at $73,000 it was more like wishful thinking. Come 2011 and I had now finished uni and was working full time and in the market to buy my own car after saving a great deal. I was initially looking at getting a second hand 07 SSV or an XR6 Turbo, but after taking a casual strole through a subaru car lot one day I saw this wagon and fell in love all over again. It was a bit more than I was planning on spending at the time but I have never regretted it. I would have been happy with a similar GT, but to land an STi limited version (#158/250) made it just that little bit more special to me. Given a choice I would have probably gone with a manual but I have found the semi auto to be practical (traffic jams) and fun.
Here she is when i bought her, stock
I pretty much joined this site as soon as I bought my car, and Im glad i did. There is a wealth of information on here and everyone has been friendly and helpful, it really adds to owning a great car that you can share it with like minded people.
True to say I have been bitten by the modding bug and will probably have the itch for life :p
