Well, as probably none of you guys remember, a while back I asked whether I should get a new WRX or BRZ as a grad present. The thing is, I made my decision. Neither

They went the extra mile and got me an STI.

Congrats! I just picked up a 2015 WRX Limited myself and love it! I’m jealous of your unequal headers, though. Dat EJ25 rumble!

Do yourself a favor, and struggle through the 1000-mile break in period. I went for 8-hour highway cruises on back-to-back Saturdays just so I could break 1000 in the first week. Definitely worth it!

You graduate high school and suddenly a $45,000 wet dream for all 18 year olds falls onto your lap?

Cool. But why isn’t it WR Blue?

Is this the new red color for 2016? Gratz! The new sti is a blast. I was unbelievably close to buying one late last year. Take her to some track days/autox, you'll learn to appreciate her a whole lot more.

That’s awesome. Just realize how lucky you are that u were given something that cool as a grad present. My parents wouldn’t even give me 500 bucks towards a car haha.

Congrats and make sure to get your parents something very nice for every birthday/holiday/anniversary until it’s paid off or at least off their insurance ;)

And speaking as someone with a bright yellow Camaro, try to take it easy for a bit. Real easy car to get pulled over in!

Wowza, congrats! Are you willing to reveal something resembling the approximate price of said purchase? Kudos on going for the red

I originally wanted the WR Blue, but I saw the red and fell in love.

I’m actually going on 2 road trips soon! Of course I’ll take it easy though, I love her way too much.

Yeah, after 2 days, I’ve already been getting eyed by cops. Good thing its the break-in period ;)

WELL OF COURSE! Not to mention my blipshift “+5hp” sticker!

I’m most definitely grateful! I don’t think my parents would give this to me if I didn’t work hard in school and I acted like a pretentious ass-monkey :P

When I finish up college and get a nice job, I’m getting my parents something very nice for sure

MSRP for this car with the packages is about $38k last I checked. But I could be wrong

Hmm wish I had this “in come” thing!

jealous! Be nice to it. Like that red. You need some of those red rallyarmor mudflaps now.

Well done. What one or two things about the STi made it worth the extra money compared to the WRX?

Well, the improved performance alone was a selling point for me, but it even looks better in my opinion. So basically, the EJ257’s performance+the handling mods and the cosmetic differences made the STI not look as boring as the WRX.

Haha for sure. So the only question left is, what are u going to do to it first?!
