Looks like STI crew may get bigger than 335 crew. ---

This is a REALLY sweet deal. If the insurance cost wasn’t so high I might try to convince myself to do it, but I just cannot justify another 80 dollars in insurance, and another $100/month. ---

> [@sureshot!](#): > > Meh, I paid off all my credit cards. It’ll take a few days before my credit report/score spike up, but when it does I may finally upgrade… this deal is just retarded ☹ dude im sure your stuff is fine now that you have the bad items cleaned up… they are OBVIOUSLY dieing to sell these cars > [@EvoMR](#): > > Congrats on the pickup. How do you like the 08s compared to your 05? it initially feels softer and the rear end moves around more than my old one, but it grips, it just feels odd. overall DD comfort is WAY better which is what I wanted, interior is much nicer, the hatch, obviously more useful. Looks like they are a bit more responsive to the light mod/reflashes, stage 2 numbers seem to be a bit higher than previous gen, however along with that they’ve had engine problems due to the factory tune and crappier pistons. ---

I agree with everything comparing the two, except the crappier pistons. I still haven’t seen anything convincing showing that they pistons are different in any way. I think the bad factory tunes had more to do with the motor deaths than anything. The best way I can describe the difference between the 05-6 to the 08 is that it feels/sounds way more like a BMW than a Honda. ---

I still think subaru is spreading some sort of super virus in them… no way they are giving these cars away without a cost. ---
