2005 CGM STi

Well just got a call today and instead of the car coming in Feb its coming mid dec. now wooo hooo. Ive been riding my aprilia motorcycle since the last post.

i test drove everything its its price range and 20k higher and noting compares to its performance for the dollar and the ammonites it has as well. cruise control and auto climate control are a +. the STi is the next logical setp up after the type R.

crystal grey metallic with sliver wheels.

 

Good choice. I have test drove many other cars and the STi was the only one that I got excited about. Unfortunetly we don't get the EVO up here in Canada which would've been my next choice.

The cheapest STi I found was used with 8000Kms for $39,995CAD but it sold rather quickly. The 4 door, turbo, AWD with all the little goodies it comes with you just can't beat it IMHO.

 

how does the CGM compare to the EVO MR?

 

O and i got it for 150 over invoice.

 

the CGM, well let me tell you.......CRYSTAL GRAY METALLIC, its a paint color.

simple. It doesn't.

 

MR is the choice if money is not a concern

I would not even think about buying a mits with how there company is doing and how they treat the warrenty on the evo's + no way in hell am i ever going to pay msrp or above for a car. + it has not curise ^^

First thing im doing is STi Pink springs the front and rear tower bars and front lower h brace.

Nice car. But, it is not "the" next logical step for me or for most people.

what would yours be then?

Now if we go above 100k then yeay i could think of a few better cars but thats not going to happen.

 

next logical step after a type R is either a S2k or a used NSX, i wouldnt mine owning a 92 nsx if it was clean and babied... as long as it has Vtec!

i considered a s2000 but im 6'4" and dont fit well at all in it. if does handle VERY VERY well though.

the lotus is a very nice car but 40k gets you NOTHING everything is a option even the sun visors.

i test drove 20 some different cars. and nothing in my mind comes close for what your getting for the pirce. and as much as i like the nsx id rater have the sti you can haul *** in the snow 2 ^^

if you read the attached post you will see why i had to get ride of the type R.

 

I remember seeing your post before, sucks to hear about the insurance issue. It still just seems that everyone is going towards awd/turbo these days. People weren't really into awd/turbo when the old 2.5rs's and mirages were out. Just seems like the resurgance of these companies with their awd/turbo/4-door cars are really the catchy thing these days.

 

I think around 2008 or so most cars above 20k will have a awd option.

and im saving close to 3 grand a year getting the STi so thats a big plus. Ill be able to buy a houes in a year and 1/2 now ^^

 

hotness

 

s3x

 

oh my, that is ONE beautiful car

I thought this car had been repainted the silver that comes on the new M3's?
Regardless this car is amazing
I would love to see an STI come out of the subaru factory that color

 

so damn nice~

 

That's a BMW factory color...
