Overall the STi didnt fit my lifestyle anymore. It was a very fun car, and I had a blast. At one point the car had over 20K in parts on it, everything from bucket seats, to competition coilover, BBK and turbo upgrade. But it was a little small inside, crappy stock seats, and not allot of "comfort" for the price you pay (however allot of cool electronics, and allot of potential)

 

Test drove a SpecB and was in love. Its almost as much fun as the STi to drive. Quick to accelerate ( bet it would take out a WRX), handles great for a car that size. But the more supportive seats, NAV, heated seats, bigger size (not carrying capacity), made it a no brainer. Even after having it only for 2 days, it still gives me a smile. Nice and comfortable, but no push over.

I was actally contemplating buying a Spec B when I was buying my STi. About the same price, but i had an itch to get a 08 and see what they could do. However after driving pretty much a Modified Street Class Time Attack car around for 2 years, i decided to get me something that would be a nice day to day car that I could also play around with.

 

STi

Day to day: 6

Fun to drive stock: 6

Reliability: 9

 

Spec B:

Day to Day: 8

Fun to Drive:5

Reliability: should be the same.

 

Hop up the STi, and they are monsters. But driving that monster every day is not that much fun.

For what it's worth you can hop up the Legacy just as easy. Not quite the selection, but still 100% within the realm of possibility.

The Legacy has nice potencial, but I dont want to take away from what I bought it for(nice DD).

So far the plans are:

Tint

Ipod Hook Up

AccessPort

DownPipe

Swift/Pink Springs

 

Reason for getting a Dp and AP, is the fuel economy goes up by about 20%, its quite impressive. In my STi, i went from 21 to 26MPG after getting a stg2. And seeing as the LGT only gets 21 right now, i would love that bump in economy.

I'm sure you could use your left hand too, if you wanted.

My pride and joy. JDM model. Rough around the edges, but ive never been so much in love with a car. So far I have only seen 1 other JDM spec Impreza Wagon in the states.

US never gets any cool cars. Just imagine a Spec B wagon .

I know a guy who built a spec c LGT 05 wagon. A lot of us probably know what I'm talking about. Definitely know what you mean.
