I recently traded in my IS250 in for a 08 sti. It has been nice while it lasted. I had obtained lots of helpful hints, tips from CL. I will miss my IS but I guess it's time for me to move on.
I will be making the transition to an 09 STI soon.
Don't get me wrong the IS is a sexy looking car that is comfortable, but it doesn't satisfy as being a drivers car for a true enthusiast. I thought I needed a luxury car but I realized that I rather have a fun, fast and modable car rather then a luxury car that is quiet boring to drive. Maybe its because my IS is an Auto, i dunno.
With just $1500 you can make the 08 STI do the 1/4 in the low 12's. This is with a conservative reliable tune as well.
