All that talk of Imprezas in the ultimate Evo build thread made me want to buy one, so this morning I bought in haste. I hope I won't repent in leisure.
Went out and snagged a clean 06 Impreza 2.5i. Yes, its not a WRX or an STI... but for the price I paid, and what I got on my trade in, coupled with the fact that I gained like 10mpg (up from an average of 15 in the RX8) made me bite.
What else made this fun? Got back into manual. Yes, I had an auto-RX8. Let the incoming laughter come. This is the first time I've touched a manual in a while, so it was rather funny driving back home, but the touch is returning. Only stalled it once on the trip.
I'll get photos coming up soon.
