No worries, I'm being smart about not buying what I can't afford. That's why I'm asking for a cheap STI if that's possible. Otherwise I was going to get a Corolla or a Focus or something. There's a Ford Focus for $3500 nearby that looks pretty good.
You don't want an STI, the base model Impreza is excellent value - same dynamics just a little less power - a lot cheaper and less likely to have been thrashed.

Yeah I have no clue what the STI or WRX stand for and whatnot. I just want the one that looks like a rally car. I don't car about what's under the hood, hell I wouldn't even need that epic turbo or whatever it has in it.

So the WRX is the type of impreza that looks like a rally car and the sti is an engine type?

I can't remember really

Base Model
WRX - Turbocharged?
WRX STI = Top Spec above the WRX

Wiki:

From September 2007 the Impreza range in Australia has been changed with models designated R, RX, RS and WRX.

R, RX and RS all share the same engine - a new 2.0 L boxer engine, with 110 kW (150 PS; 148 bhp) @ 6400 rpm and 196 Nm @ 3200 rpm.

The iconic WRX has largely unchanged engine power output of 169 kW (230 PS; 227 bhp) and 320 Nm from its 2.5 L engine. As with previous versions, there will only be a manual version of the WRX. The weight of the car also has been lightened (by approx. 22.7 kg (50 lb)) to just 1400 kg, and gives the WRX a 0-100 km/h time of 5.8 seconds. In contrast, curb weight of the standard Impreza model is approx. 27.2 kg (60 lb) heavier, although still lighter than the WRX trim level.

In summary:

You can't afford one anyway.

The base model is the best value, the other models you're paying much more for nothing much unless you really plan to go rallying.

Get the base model and have some Asian shop in San Diego "ricer" it up to look like a WRX STI.

There are pages of them for sale at £5k that is the going price for them in the uk.

Well it wasn't an sti, but just a standard wrx.

The STI is lower spec than the WRX above that would be the special homologation models.

The problem with Subarus and other 'obscure' cars is you can't take them to the average five-minute oil change place, they'll fuck them up.
Stupid muppets jacked up mine on the centre diff, its independent suspension you cretins, not that thats a a good thing to do with a live back axle.

Thats the only time Ford/GM wins, its stone age technology and the average mong mechanic can work on it.

That's why the sti is about 50% more expensive, has 15% more power, stiffer suspension, wider tyres and a more aggressive body kit. Cause Subaru just loves making their lower spec cars better then the higher spec ones.

STI (Subaru Tecnica International) is basically the 'M', 'AMG' or 'Abarth' for Subaru.

So the Subaru Impreza, WRX, and WRX STI are all the same exterior and interior, but the WRX and WRX STI have improved engines? It's not the engine I'm looking for as much as the awesome look!

I hate the hatchback version of the Impreza as it's so ugly. What do I call the one with a standard trunk, a sedan?

I'd want that thing on the back of it though. That's why the Impreza is so freaking cool in the first place.

To make it look like this.

For a newer one or an older one? that would really suck to pay that much. On top of that I'm in the age they consider an inexperienced driver. I guess the good thing I have to look forward to is that by the time I can afford one (maybe...3 or 4 years from now if I save diligently) the prices of the newer models that look even better will be a lot cheaper.

2007. That's including comprehensive and collision coverage though. For the bare bones it'd only be like $60. If you own the car then you don't need comp and collision but if it's financed then you do.

8k isn't too bad to pay off. Saving that would be hell though. I was going to get a $1500/month job but decided to go back to school for the military. Having taken that, if I lived with my mom and sisters as I still do now I would have made a total of $9000 instead of the $1000 I've made at my crappy job so far. Would have had an impreza now! damnit

Is that for a younger driver too?

Lord only knows how much it'd be for a young driver. I did a quote when I was 18 for a fucking Honda Civic and it was like $190/mo with collision and comprehensive. But I'd also gotten into a car crash recently. I have had a clean driving record since then...
