Thanks I appreciate it! Honestly I just liked the uniqueness of my civic, even the shifter being on the dash was awesome. If I were to get it again, probably not, I was looking for a hatchback and wanted a 2 door, and if my only option was a Honda I wanted the SI, didn't care too much for the EK model.
I had just turned 23 in late January, when I picked up the Subie. And had two owners prior to me, honestly got a good deal and perfect time because I had the money to pull the trigger.
I do plan on getting new wheels, I really like the look of the OEM BBS ones, but looking at the Enkei Nt03's, I think they're beautiful.
I did do research on the type of car I was looking for, I was between a Mustang GT, G37, and the STI. But the STI had always been the dream. Did a decent amount of research on the nasioc, clubwrx, iwsti, and a bunch of youtube videos. Definitely dont mind the rocky start, just unfortunate to learn the car the hard way.
