I had a 2005 Sti that I bought new at the time and owned it for 4 years. I loved the car and didn't really have any regrets about the car itself. But when I look back, I kind of regret that I didn't get the Evo IX instead. I went with my brain instead of my heart (based on long-term reliability ratings). But I really thought (and still think) that the Evo was the better looking, more fun, and desirable car. Turns out they were pretty darn reliable too, as was my subi. Econo box or not, seeing a pre-X gen Evo is still an event for me to this day.
