My STI History: Why the STi? I was still in high school when I first discovered Subaru. I don’t remember exactly how I came across them, but somewhere in that time I discovered the late 90's 2.5 RS. I was driving a 98 Neon at the time and absolutely hated it. It wasn't my choice for a car, but it was still transportation so I took it. From then on I was always looking for a different ride and must fell upon the RS. I loved the looks of it, the scoop, wing etc. then after doing some more research I found out it was all wheel drive with more power than my Neon. Believe me most anything that is above 132hp in a Neon has appeal to it. I figured with the power, the fact that it was based off of a rally car, it would be great in the snow here in Western NY. I also learned from enthusiast websites that for a little $ here and there it could be modded to perform pretty well (to my standards at the time, remember I drove a neon). As time went on and I went to college my tastes changed a little and RS's were hard to come buy with low miles and in my college price range. So my lust for an RS fizzled out for a bit until the WRX came to the US. It sparked my interested again but I hated the bug eye look of the new Impreza and thought Subaru ruined a hot looking car. That and the fact it now had 4 doors. So I gave up on Subaru for a while. After college I had the ability to buy a new car and immediately started looking for a late 90's RS again. I didn’t find many so then my tastes went toward the Acura RSX type S. I drove one and fell in love until I got a quote from the insurance company. It would have doubled my current insurance rate due to my age and the car itself. So now working as a Ski instructor I went looking for something with 4 wheel for the snow. To make a long story short, I bought an 01Blazer and was happy until I started to have a lot of problems with it. So now that I started looking again for a new car and the look of the 04-05 STi's had that appeal to me once again. I had also grown up a little bit and the fact that it has 4 doors didn't bother me as much anymore. The STi is still that all around car that I liked back in the 90's. It still has some serious "B@lls" and can also be driven day to day as well as in the snow. So that’s my story in short. Mods are coming, but rather slowly. I am still young and establishing myself and dont have a lot of extra cash for toys on the car. I do put money away for things here and there and always saving for new go fast parts.
