Honestly it's like you took my thoughts and put them in your words. I just hate the fact that the sti doesn't get the respect it deserves from certain people.

And btw, about the seats, they are adjustable, but everything is manual (I have a fixed back sparco in mine so i forgot what its like to adjust a seat haha).

I also agree about intangibles making a car go from good to great, my car is a rattle box w/ a dreadful stereo, but the sounds from the diffs, the boxer rumble, everything feeling so mechanical and analog make me forget the bad and love it!
Yah the STi doesn't get as much respect as it should, but whatever - whatever makes you happy. My buddy still has his 04 he bought 2 months after he drove mine, and my other friend has a GC with a built motor that makes over 500whp. Different strokes for different folks ; )

I still miss the STi, especially in the wet and snow - which we get a fair amount of here. I wouldn't have sold it, but I needed the moolah for the M.
