I had a 2004 WRX STI
I can say that the thing sucked money out of my bank account faster than a drug addicted gambling pig. when I blew the engine at about a hundred and thirty thousand miles I actually had the damn thing replaced and it cost me $13,000. then I got the same back with the check engine light on which was a year ordeal and then oil leaks after that which could not be found and finally after some special testing they found the leak. my car ran like it had never before and at that point I decided I needed to let it go to the next victim. I actually sold the thing for $20,000 in 2012. while this appears to be a great resale value it actually was negated by all the money I sank into it with maintenance and repairs etc. I don't think most people think about the high cost of maintenance with these cars. I think they should come with a warning label: if u want to play, you gotta pay.
