2012 Subaru WRX STi

[gigjam]

Hello all!
picked this up a few weeks ago, had 8 miles on delivery.

so far I am very happy, it's no replacement for the GT-R but its definitely a lot of fun. It's definitely more involving to drive, and on the road its just as much fun (if not more). It will never be an R35 in the straights but it corners fantastic.

Model: 2012 STi Limited in Plasma Blue Pearl
Factory options: Navigation and SPT short throw shifter.

I have already installed the COBB Accesport Stage 1 tune and it drives a LOT smother than stock.
Next performance upgrades will be an intake, De-cat down-pipe and a Cat-back exhaust to go stage 2.
Coil overs are on there way also.

thanks for looking

Day I picked it up.


Quick shoot the next day

Looks good. I would put a front plate on though simply because it looks silly without when the bumper has the mounting point for one.

Thanks! I totally agree, there a lots of company's making delete plates for it, but it still looks weird. I may just put a plate on.

Easier, cheaper and even if the state where you live doesnt mandate a front plate (guessing you are in the usa) others do.

Very nice, love the look of the saloons.

looks nice from the outside

Subaru interiors are on par with Proton though

Trying to force myself but I really don't like the wheels for some reason. Rest of the car is lovely though, good choice of colour.

Looks terribly under-wheeled at the back in that side shot. What size wheels are they - 17"?

I think the interior is purposeful

The standard interior is ok (especially 2010+), much better than proton IMO. The limited Leather seats are some of the best I have ever used.
I was cross shopping this with an EVO X and if you want to talk about a C**P interior then that's it. I couldn't stand how cheap, hollow and nasty it felt.

Love the colour, nice something different than the ugly blob eye. What power does this have 300bhp+?
