GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

The Type R is a Honda FWD, if you like the kick of RWD then it is not for you. Pick up an older EVO if the STI is not for you. Trust me lots of these cars out there: Golf R, Type R, Focus RS, and EVO. The only one that feels like a RWD car and you can actually see the hood is the STI. If a mid 13 second car is not fast enough then get a COBB port and make it a 12 second car. If that is still not fast enough run a e85 tune with controller and get into the 11s or maybe even 10s.

These cars can be made ridiculously fast for not much money.

Here’s my Breakout right before I sold it

Y’know, I’ve thought about that too... I’m pretty tight with the local Honda dealer but they have never sold one and said it would have to be a special order... Maybe I should be a **** and test drive one somewhere else [emoji848] Admittedly I’m not a huge fan of the Type-R styling, but I would likely get used to it

Yeah that's what turned me off too....but like that you can get 4 doors, stick shift, decent interior, & honda reliability/quality & MPGs. I cross-shopped a ton of vehicles in the $35-$45k range before dumping more $$$$/mods into my current toy car - Z06. The Civic-R was @ the top of the heap in terms of pure driving enjoyment & certainly overall bang for the buck. If I could have a 3rd vehicle it would be @ the top of the list as would an STI - but like I said - lets see what the next one will be like.......its nearly akin to buying a "brand new" Toyota Tundra today knowing that the entire design basically dates back to circa 04-06 debuting for '07 model year when we know they'll be coming out w/ a new version (finally) in the near future. Its one thing if you're just "giving up" a few aesthetic or tech features going w/ a "new" older model year - like an 18 vs 19 Raptor, but going from a 2014 or whatever the last steel F150 to a '15+ - big difference

Finally a race coming up. A little testing yesterday. Got it OUT of the garage.

The STI still holds its value better than the others in its class. I own my STI outright and bought it new in early Summer of 2016. It has been a great car but only has 18,500 miles on it during that time frame. I would love to have been able to buy a 2007 STI new when they were out because of the light weight, inter cooler sprayer and what not giving up on the tech side of things.

On Bring a Trailer, old STIs with low miles still bring 25-26 grand. I love the fact that they do not depreciate below a certain threshold kind of like Raptors do to an extent.

Holy shit dude! I’m crazy impressed!
I have to ask... What do you do for a living? I feel like Jonah Hill’s character in Wolf Of Wall Street, offering to quit my job right here right now [emoji28]
