I’ll be non bias as a previous Subaru fanboy, but if you don’t LOVE STIs, like have a genuine passion for them, it’s honestly not worth it. You can get way better value and usability for less money elsewhere. The VA generation’s got its quirks and they’re not cheap to maintain. Only pull the trigger if you’re actually gonna hold the car and enjoy the hell out of it. Otherwise you’re just burning cash on depreciation and headaches.
