[Prestigous]

Okay, thanks for the advice guys. I did some research on those 16-17 year old stories and I admit, I don't want to be the next victim. Sure STI's are nice.. and anyone would die for one, but I think I'll just wait until I'm somewhere in my 19's++ until I actually buy one (04-07, the 08's are damn ugly and lost my support). I always loved the Impreza and will continue. I'll first learn how to "master" stick shift, fwd/rwd, the simpler machine as sabrekhan said, then hear the roar of the STI underneath my ass when I'm ready.
