This is one I would take to a mechanic that knows Subaru's. I would be a fair amount of Sti's have been chipped and had some other modifications done to them.
 
The biggest downside to them is that huge wing on the back, reminds me of the Roadrunners of the 70's.

I like the STI and Evo; I think they are among the fastest point A to point B cars there is. I'd love to have one. That said, I'd guess you'd tire of the lack of refinement and basic interior within a year, based on your love of the Motoren Werke...

Sounds like a lot of money for a 2-3 yo STI, & high-ish miles. There's a nice (sounding) low miles '03 M3 in the Roundel this month for $23.5K.....I'd go look at it myself, except it's in MN......(???)

Subaru Insurance Rates by gouldn

I've never understood why Subuaru insurance rates are so high. I paid almost exactly the same rate for my 2001 Forester vs my 07 BMW X3 until I dropped collision on the Forester.. The Accord cpe 6 was also quite high. Cheapest car I've ever had fully insured was a 94 Thunderbird V8 for $400 per year full coverage.

A First for me..... by akangl

The Pilot is the first car I've EVER had to buy a second set of winter tires for, usually long before the first set is close to being worn out I've got a new car and need different tires. Not this time, I did 2 winters and bought new tires. Summer tires are almost new, I don't seem to drive much. Its taken me over a year to put 12k on my Pilot.

New car fever. by mark156

Well, I'm thinking of trading the 2006 Land Rover LR3 for a 2010 vehicle. A couple of SUV's have popped on the radar screen. The reason why I want to get rid of the LR3 is that is getting ready to go out of warranty (4 yrs). I have 30,500 miles on it currently.
 
I use this vehicle for traveling across the country (when not in the motorhome) and use it when I need a nice vehicle with passenger room. The 7 passenger capability sure has come in handy.
 
These are the two vehicles I like.
1) 2010 Land Rover LR3
2) 2010 Audi Q7 diesel
 
Both have third seats but the diesel option sure has caught my attention.
 
I haven't researched the reliability on the Q7 yet and I sure have had good luck with the Land Rover.

He must be feeling better - he's shopping again!
 
Hey, Mark, I was away when you dropped your health bomb shell. Sorry to hear it and very pleased you are expected to recover completely.

Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1, they were just a better version of what I had the past 2 winters, but very much improved.
