Opinions on the 2005 Subaru WRX STi - GoFuckYourself.com

UniqueMovies · 09-07-2004, 04:53 PM

I am going to buy this car soon and was curious on peoples opinion. Its the fastest production car in 2005 for under $35k and since I live in Canada its going to be fun in the snow too.

0-30mph = 1.2sec
0-60mph = 4.7sec
1/4 mile = 13.3 @ 100mph

They recently tested the 05 STi on the Streets of Willow Springs with a lap time of 1:35. Compared it to the 493hp Lamborghini Gallardo's best of 1:33? WOW!

Vitasoy · 09-07-2004, 04:55 PM

I think it's a great car. One thing I don't like about it is the interior, but that's just me.

They redesigned the interior for 2005.

TweetyBird · 09-07-2004, 05:01 PM

nice ride

Shoplifter · 09-07-2004, 05:01 PM

It's really rice.

If your filipino or vietnamese it's ok but as a white guy I wouldn't be caught dead in it. Even the chinese guys here wont drive those.

I'm not really a car guy but if I was going to buy I would use the $35k as a down payment on a Benz SLK350 or better.

When I look at this car it screams euro rally racing. Not rice boy 2F2F asian style.

Just my opinion on it from a Vancouver perspective. It may be intended to look Euro Rally but because of the people who generally have them here it is now associated with the plywood spoiler crowd.

It's probably a great car, but I would get something a bit more substantial.

I would.. only problem is winter time. I cant justfy spending 6 figures for 2 cars for different seasons.

I agree... it begins to grow on you but its not a stylish car by any means. Most ppl that drop the dime on this car buy it for its capabilities.. not looks.

I'd take the Lamborgini instead!

fr8 · 09-07-2004, 07:15 PM

All wheel drive is great. Would love to have one.

RobD · 09-07-2004, 07:18 PM

I love that car, post pics when you get it

Living For Today · 09-07-2004, 07:21 PM

Cant say as Im a fan of the interior but fuck thats quick

Theo · 09-07-2004, 07:24 PM

For the money it costs and with the new interior it's a great choice for people looking speed.

qwe · 09-07-2004, 07:24 PM

for $35k u can pickup used bmw 2001 330ci, fuck that rice rocket...

but it is quick, and thats about it

ok, I'd go for the STI over any bmw (except the M5). I have an evo, and have a friend with an STI ('03) and he loves it.

wedouglas · 09-08-2004, 06:55 AM

best car sports car for the price. fast rain or shine, sleet or snow.

Dirty F · 09-08-2004, 06:58 AM

Get a real car, a benz, bmw, something non ricer. Ricers are uber lame. Everytime i see some kids passing by in a plastic car with a wing i cant do nothing but shake my head and hope they will grow up soon.

I'll deliver you a full rally ready Evo 8 inside of a month for the right price.

Mr Dickovitch · 09-08-2004, 07:21 AM

The wing on the back will make you look like an idiot. Also I used to have a WRX and the turbo lag was incredibly shitty.

quiet · 09-08-2004, 07:55 AM

ugly ass car imo, but then all subs are pretty ugly, it's part of their charm. the wrx sti is a serious fucking car, make no mistake. fast, handling, allwheel drive, basically a rally car.

i'm buying an '05 wrx wagon for the winter this fall (have no need for the extra speed of the sti, and want more room for hauling shit). perfect winter beater car...

L0stMind · 09-08-2004, 08:14 AM

Hmmm, I am thinking to buy one of these as well. In black, with no spoiler.

For the money, there is no better *fun* car out there. They come to about $56k cad including all taxes and everything.

You cant really compare a wrx to the sti. They are just not in the same class.

For the same money, you COULD buy a bmw, but its not even a nice bmw. So why bother? And mercedes? come on, unless you are willing to put down another $20k or so, you cant get a decent luxury car.

And whats the next closest sports car in canada? G35, 350Z? Both cost more money then the sti...

i wasn't comparing them. i merely stated that i could get one, but have no need for one. i have my Porsche and my S2000 for the summers, wrx will be perfect for my winter beater.

TheWildcard · 09-08-2004, 08:57 AM

lancer evo looks way better

L0stMind · 09-08-2004, 09:11 AM

The lancer looks a bit like a ford escort

Quiet - someone had mentioned their wrx sucked because of turbo lag... the sti has little turbo lag, evidenced by the 0-30mph times. Of course, that post has dissappeared now.

What impreza model are you looking at? wrx wagon?

At this point in my life, I'd love to have a porsche or so... but, if I get the subaru wrx sti, I can still afford to get my fiancee the tsx she wants and still pay all my monthly bills ;)

ClamSmacker · 09-08-2004, 09:28 AM

I always have had a soft spot for the WRX but I am steering towards the Evo's. There is a shit loads of WRX's on the roads here (OZ).
Anyways I got my tickets to Rally Australia and cant wait, the sound of anti lag and smell of race fuel....

Same here.

I like the STI. I do like the 350z though, but what you get in the STI is great, awd, back seats, etc.

Morgan · 09-08-2004, 09:45 AM

It was either the STI or the EVO for me. Went with the EVO.

macho · 09-08-2004, 09:49 AM

They look very nice!
