    6 pot braking is night and day better than the '14 base, although I have no 4 pot experience in the STi. If there's brake fade, I've yet to find it. Biggest complaints are that the cross drilled rotors are a pain in the ass to detail and there's just so much effing brake dust, always. Keeping...

    Was a 2014 WRX so the powerplant is largely the same. Body roll is so much better (go figure), the 6 speed is a bit better than the 5 speed (at least with the new 3rd gear ratio), although i miss getting 60+ in 2nd gear.

    Hey from Seacoast NH

    Just upgraded from a base 2014 WRX to a 2019 STi - my first grownup version. Pretty great so far. Some work was going to be required for the old girl in the next 6 months so i just rolled required capital and trade into an STi. Dealer (allegedly) made a paperwork error in the courtship...
