As far as going with another
As far as going with another car it depends on what you were planning to do with the STi. If you were getting it to leave it stock and abide by the warranty and (hopefully) have things covered, it’s a fun car with great handling and a decent amount of power. Now if you are planning on doing anything to it, you can say goodbye to your warranty (which is confusing since Subaru sells intakes and exhaust upgrades for the cars at their dealerships which are OEM produced, but if you put them on they will say they can’t warranty any problem with the car because of “aftermarket parts”). Now on the other hand if you don’t care about the warranty these cars have great potential but for the same amount of money there are a lot of other options out there for a fun sports car but I am partial to Subaru and love building them because they can be made to suit you and exactly what you want from the car since there are an endless supply of parts and companies that make parts for them.
