A few thoughts after owning the car for a week:

1. The peak boost is consistently 16 PSI in 3rd gear. Either Subaru upped the stock boost from 14.5 PSI or the stock instrumentation is incorrect (also likely).

2. The Sound Creator is totally lame. /point

3. The STI seats are better than last year's model, but could use more lumbar support. Seriously, my MS3 has adjustable lumbar support. If Subaru could have just invested the R&D in the lumbar support and not that stupid sound creator....

All-in-all, I love this car. Yes, the motor is an old lump. Yes, it gets abysmal fuel economy, but the speed that this thing carries through the corners is insane! When you stop and realize that this is a stock car from the factory, it's even more impressive.

Ordered a Grimmspeed license plate relocation kit, so there's a mod I guess lol

It's a Subaru Evo STi, so it has to look the part:

UPDATE! I drove the bugeye today because the STi is in the middle of an Opticoat treatment! 1.5 coats on already, I'll finish coat 2 tonight and probably be done
