Default Our new '12 STi

Sold the S2000 on Monday, and flew up to Hartford, CT. early Friday morning to pick this up. With a 9 month old, it's nice to have a second car that can carry him around. Plus, we didn't compromise too much, and we still have a fun car. A quick comparo... the shifter is obviously better in the S2000, and of course the S2000 is a more responsive car. But, I was actually very surprised with how nimble the STi feels. I was honestly thinking I was getting into a car that was going to feel completely disconnected... not at all. The biggest perk; the power. This thing is SO much easier to drive. It's nice to not have to wind it completely out to keep up with the minivan next to me. In the end though, I will miss the S2000. But, family comes first, and we're excited to move on to a new car that can still be fun, and carry the dogs and kid.

congrats. I am jealous of the color. my wife and I picked up a '11 STi sedan a few weeks ago to replace her car that was totaled. SWP was my first pick but we had to settle for Lightning Red.
