Default Found it!!

Since my IS is going to be paid off soon I figured it would be time to find another car as my DD so I can save some miles on my IS. After looking for a while I finally found it!








its not going to be this exact one but i want the same color and can hopefully get some rims like the ones on it maybe the bike rack too..gives it a sporty look..plus it has turbo

Right on bro! I had a 04 wrx wagon.....I am still not liking the re-design body but it's still a suby and they are great cars. My wife has a 05...so I still drive that when I am in the mood for AWD!

Man, you have gone STI crazy! If you can pull it off, you will have a incredible two car combo! I actually like the fast and furious STI, pic below

I always wanted the 07 limited edition STI...that came with heated leather seats and sunroof....also without the big wing ( I wasn't a fan of it). I love this white pearl color.

Only made 800 in the U.S
