This is proof that with money and good taste anything can look good. JK, I think that the new STi looks good, and this looks great. Nice work. Also, good call on painting the hood and leaving the vents CF.

Looks pretty sick...though enough money will make any decent looking car look sick or be relatively fast..
I like hatches on some cars...if i needed a roomier car i'd defintely consider it. |

STi's are fun cars to drive, I had an 07, fabulous in snow, but one thing I didn't like was its understeering, quite annoying if you ask me.

But when I drive my STi, it's still a much more fun car to drive when you want to have fun. But overall the 135i kills it for daily driving...so much more comfortable and luxurious, but still very fast and sporty. |

I think alot of the reasons that people mod the cars (other than fun) is to fix the issues that come stock with the car. Sways and springs are really needed along with a good alignment. Also a TBE and stage 2 tune really improves the drivability and fun.
After that it's just cosmetics like tail light overlays, rims etc. |

And this is why the whole world perceives BMW drivers as they do. Your car is a vehicle, you are a person. The two are not combined into a single image.

a person might not be a single image with his/her car, but on average you can tell a lot about a person by what kinds of car they drive, just pay attention when you are driving around and most stereotypes will hold true, people do get cars that suit their personalities, life styles, bank accounts, etc

Its not that I don't like the STi, its just that I don't like hatchbacks. It looks like a big Nike to me....
