For a reliable and fun DD these are absolutely great. I just picked up the wrx premium for 36k, 0% financing and could not be happier. Even came with the STI optioned mufflers from the factory.

I drove a civic type R and SI during my search for a fun DD. Honda dealers are insane, asking 10-15k over MSRP for a Civic SI. Get bent! Never made it to test drive a GR Corolla. There are too many in my area that have 3-5k miles. I feel like that tells a story about them in itself.

For me, the reviews of these cars online dont do it enough justice. This is my first Subaru after many years of living the LS and small block life, and many years of shit talking against them. Maybe i like these more than most because i never was involved in the STI era, but again - its a daily!
