My daughter had a BA 16' WRX I enjoyed cruising in and fell in love. She found a 12' Impreza Sedan all stock 52k clean title at her lot and I bought it that day sight unseen. Im now a Subi loyalist. About 6 more payments and may motivate to the wrx, but my Impreza 2.0i all stock crazy as it seems has taken a dozen expensive mod ricers. Man Im so glad I bought Medusa.

The the big eye wasn’t bad bc the EJ205. But the EJ255 and the 257 are not even close to as good as the 207. 255 and 257 suffer from oil starvation, ringland failures way to often. Also no one knows how to take care of a boxer engine at all

    I'll get shit for this, but... I have a 2015 Imprezza Limited w/CVT (split gate & paddle shifters) and it is fun when I put it into "manual" mode and use the steering wheel paddle shifters. It isn't as fast as WRX/STI, but I still have fun with it. The 2.0l engine has a lot of pep to it for a non-rally type car. So I like my Subaru. And yes, if I could have afforded the WRX or STI I would have done it. But my spouse can't drive a stick, so... But she drives our 2009 Outback Premium wagon (2.5l engine), and I have fun it as well. Basically the Boxer engine is a lot of fun to rev up and rip around with.
