Performance in Durham/Chapel Hill has a few '04 STi left on the lot. I've been shopping for a used WRX/STi but the purchasing manager seemed eager to deal on his remaining '04 stock.
 
Is there a particular reason you prefer '05 to '04?

I had never driven an 04 STI, but I had heard that the ride on the 04 was more harsh than on the 05. I'm much older than you guys most likely, and any decrease in harshness feels good on this old arthritic body.

i am thinking about buying a 04sti w/4000 miles. it has a full eclipse stereo w/ a tv headunit and it looks nice. Does anyone have any clue about maintenance costs i.e.oil changes and insurance costs. the price is the kicker $26000. any ideas or suggestions?

Does the current lease promotion apply to A/T? by secretariat73

I have a friend who is interested in an Impreza lease; however, she would only take an auto tranny. The Subaru promotion only mentions 5 speeds. Does anyone know if the same, or a similar, deal is available for an A/T?

I'm a Costco member, also. Haven't used their program but everyone I know that did was happy in the end.
 
The '05 got revised steering and the wider rear rims, plus some detail changes. The '05 rims have 113mm spacing so they're actually less universal than the old 5x100mm rims on the '04, if that matters to you.

Consider the Smart Shopper or Repair Board. They can be found in the "Browse by Message Board" area to the left. Hope this helps.

I have 21,000 mi on mine now....The only problem has been something went wrong with the RR strut. I think the bearing at the top had a problem...There have been no idle problems and I was getting 25mpg at 80-85 mph...Now with our latest lousy gas it is down to 23...All 3 of our vehicles have lost 2-3 mpg..The only thing I dislike about the car is the seat, that has given me a constant sore spot on my thigh.
It is a hoot to drive...Great brakes, handling, acceleration...
Hope this helps.

STI HID LIGHTS HOW GOOD ARE THEY by km24

Hi
How good are the STI HID lights? I test drove a Saab 92-x with HID lights and it did light up the road a little bit better. I also would like to know how much better the STI headlights are compared to the regular headlights on the WRX?
Thanks
