Dealer had a blue STi in the back and I inquired about it. The guy that ordered it had his financing go south on him so they have it available. I asked if I could drive it feeling secure in my request since we had just purchased an A-8 (old man's) ........they took a deep breath looked at each other and said sure go ahead. My old man didn't understand all the fuzz since they had no problem giving us a Tourag, A-8, and a Pathfinder Armada to test drive before.

I am a wide body type, 6-2 290lbs and I fit pretty good in the car, my left shoulder a bit tight for comfort but I can live with it.

This car goes like a scalded cat. It put a smile on my face instantly, the sound it makes takes you to another world, it's like you are Tommi Mäkinen.

It will be difficult to live with if you do a lot of city driving on bad roads, but if you have plenty of twisties the thing is amaizing. It has more power than you really need, I can't imagine how it will go with a few basic upgrades.

Definetelly lives up to all the hype
