I bought a 2017 STI about 4 months ago. It’s my first scoobie.
It needed to be “de-teenagered” a bit. It’s actually a great little car.
Pros:
Fun 6 speed
Reliable/useful tech
Makes enough power to be enjoyable
Handles fair well
Cool modes/adjustable diff
Solid build quality for what it is
Good sound system for a factory unity.
Tons of cool, reasonably priced JDM parts available online (factory).
Cheap to maintain/easy to wrench on.
Huge amount of performance parts available.
Cons:
Bushing are soft everywhere
Rattles/everything needs tightening
Some of the US spec aspects of it look not so great vs. JDM
Police attention (but I have enough gray that I don’t get pestered too much).
I bought it for a winter DD, and, I’m pretty stoked about it so far. It might get added to my collection after all.
