What kind of attention does your STi get?

[WesternSTi]

So, I saw this thread on IWSTIl.com with the exact title of this thread. I replied, but unbeknownst to me, it was in the 2015 STi discussion, which I missed because I was on tapatalk. So, I'lll pose the question here for All STi's, 2004-2015
My apologies if there is already a thread for this.

What Kind Of Attention Does Your STi Get?

-I'll kick it off: Here in Atlanta(and pretty much anywhere else I go) I get people looking at my car, talking about it, complimenting me on it, etc from all walks of life. From kids to teens to car people and non-car people alike. Rich and poor. Everybody loves it. Corvette guys, muscle guys, guys in Mercedes S-Class', women walking down the street, freaking everyone.....including Cops. :|. Case in point, I got pulled in Winston Salem on the way back from a convention doing....wait for it....3 or 4 over. I saw the cop, was all "He's not gonna pull me I'm going less than 5 over....WHaaaaa??@!!" Thankfully, guy was "nice" about it, he was just warning me to slow down a little bit. Anyway, it gets attention everywhere it goes. and I mean everywhere!!, That may be because it's World Rally Blue, but man...freaking everywhere!
How about y'all??

Zero love here, when in stealth mode. If i put the APR wing on it i get lots of looks! Even then, though, the carbon fiber is painted so its somewhat muted.

My wife drove the car to work a few days ago, and apparently a coworker of hers commented on my brakes.

But mostly no love.

"Wow! Those are some really small brakes!" [MENTION=652]Grinder34[/MENTION] Im sure she didnt tell you about all of the guys that were whistling! Hahaha

Its different if a girl is driving an STi. Waaaaay different!

Most of the compliments I get are from Subaru guys and gals or younger kids/young adults. I mostly get hatred where I live since muscle cars are huge in my area, tons of Mustangs/Camaros/Corvettes etc, new and old. They all hate my car, mainly because I can keep up with a lot of them, but they still hate it, talk about it being import junk, 4 banger, rice burner...etc. Then, when I point out the amount of overseas parts on the newer "muscle" cars it's all crickets of course...or I get flipped off/cussed out and told to fuck off. Love it.

Not much love here. In the 6 years I can count the compliments on one hand and the complaints? Let's just say I lost count when the boots came off.
Here, it's all about domestic muscle or luxury sport coupes. Seems even all of the ricers here grew up and bought g35/37 but still hold onto the mentality.
However, I don't drive it for the attention so I'm ok with it. Though, the criticism gets old... ignorant Neanderthals.

When I bought my 2015 it was the only 2015 in the area. Needless to say it garnered a lot of attention off the bat.

I saw the first 15 sti on the STREET yesterday. Definitely a different presence compared to seeing a GD and GR. It looks great! The LEDs in the front are retarded bright!

Im not sure about what kind i get, i never stop to get feedback. But i can only imagine it negative. I drive like an asshole. Usually in a low gear letting the wastegate yell at people.

As a teacher myself, I know how important little things like that are. Good for you man lol.

If y'all haven't checked the thread on NASIOC called funniest phrases/questions you've heard about your Subie, you need to check that out. It's quite a funny read. It's long, sure, but a good time killer if you've got some to kill lol.
