DD, Ive got a friend who I work with, who just bought a new STi and for $70000 AUS I was really disappointed in it when I drove it. There seemed to be no torque and I had to constantly keep it above 4000rpm to get anywhere in it. Plus he had someone try to rip it off but couldnt get it going, as it had satellite tracking, so they decided to scratch the paint on every panel of the car.....I dont reckon it worth the hassle unless you really want to get it.
