And now for a completely different kind of 'Ring video...

AlpineE92M3 · 07-01-2015, 07:49 PM

I loved my '04 Sti...I miss it... it was one of the first ones to come over to the states in '04, didn't even come with a radio. For the price, nothing beats an STi in my mind.

I had a Subaru Legacy wagon for a while as winter beater , car drove just perfect with the all wheel drive .
They say Subaru is the Japanese Merc .

Actually the Sti is legend but the reliability is Oughhh .
And Dackel , thanks for sharing bud !

Subbies make for pretty good(winter beater) cars. It's really hard to beat that AWD system in the snow/rain/mud. I really liked driving the Legacy manuals in the snow. You only see them in Southern Germany or Austria though. I really would not call them a Jap Merc. I think that is a Honda or Lexus.

After I crashed my Evo 9 I test drove a STI.. Didn't compare to the Evo, in my opinion. It was noticeably slower and to soft.

I absolutely loved my old subbie. Drove it until the gremlins ate it.

Thanks for the great vid Dacke

For the money aspect, the Evo is the only car that compares. Back in '04 I paid 29k OTD for my STi. There was nothing that compared to it for that price. It was a street monster around my town back in the day. We're talking over a decade ago, many things have changed since then. Damn, now an STi is over 40k. Looking at it now especially, 29k was a bargain for what I got.

That's about what a Evo cost. In 2006 I paid 36k for my Evo 9 SE. The RS was a lot cheaper but it was more basic. I miss my Evo :/

Why does everyone treat their Subarus as "beaters"???

I love my Subaru as much as I love my BMW. Actually, I love it more. I've had it since new and it's a little bit faster than it was when I bought it.

You crazy! (In a good way)

Is that wagon still AWD?

J/K.

Thanks for bumping this post from an STi owner; 2005 bought new for ~$30K. >100K miles on it now and it has never failed to get me where I needed to go, including during blizzards and hurricanes. Mine has been reliable too although I understand the later engines are a bit fragile around the ringlands.

^^Hahhaa... I just now noticed that! Only thing is... Andre does cost a lot more over here than in the USA. But still... they could have gotten a decent French champagne! Maybe a Henkell or Rotkappchen.

LOL! i loved the video, but i just couldnt help but laugh that at the North West event they gave them Andre, even one of the guys took a long hard look at the bottle...
i can only imagine that he realized he could buy that bottle for $3.00 whole dollars...
