Default Traded the 04 for an 06.. *pics*

well i did it.. .took the plunge.. i have to say this thing looks 10 times better in person... the steering feels better and the thing rides like a regular wrx! I love it so far... but its tough going from a 12.44 1/4 mile car to this.. heh.. mods on the way!

Nice, did you already switch out the front STi emblem on your car? Cause it looks like it is the 04 one that is pink with silver.

White is the best color for the 06s...IMHO.

Looks pretty good, although your old car was very nice as well. Eh, congrats on both

How does it feel more like a 30k car? When I was at the dealer the other day I took a look at an 06. I could not tell a difference between the 05 and 06 interior-wise.
I know the 04 was quite different but how does the car as a whole differ from an 05??

Thanks!@#

the car is easier to turn... especially in low speed turns... like parking in a spot.. the thing rides a lot better as well...

What changes were made that allow for that? I thought there were just minor changes to the DCCD?

Im just curious really

Thanks,

that color is HOT. I saw one in white and I was impressed. Actually I was really impressed with black as well. Were gonna see a lot of change of hearts, and also a lot of people in denial, not wanting to admit this model is better. Once I saw it in person, I was like, DAMN, this thing is definitely better then my 04. As a daily driver though, I see no purpose in wasting my money to trade mine in this soon, no matter how nice it is. I think after it's been out a while, I'm gonna go test drive one, with no intention of trading in my 04, but if I have to I'll pretend, so I can drive one of these for myself. I know my opinion says it looks nicer, but I wanna see for myself how it feels compared to my 04. I test drove an 05, and noticed nothing compared to my 04 in driving, which is why I saved my money and got a leftover 04 model. It was basicaly the same exact car. From what I read here, apparently this model is different form the 04-05 in the way it drives, as well as the way it looks.
