Welcome!

Thanks! Always liked these cars, sat in one a couple years back and was in love temporarily.

Recently sold my old DSM and wanted to invest in a newer car I could count on.

Was between this and a WRX, but this was an amazing deal in my city.

I’ve driven both, the ST is more fun. WRX is faster but it’s just kinda boring IMO. I like being able to break the tires loose. Transmission feels much better on the ST too.

WRX is faster from a dig. We kill them everywhere else.

Even from a dig the st will start to pull after it gets traction.

Ouch.

Seriously tho, I don't mind them, rather have the Canadian knockoffs than the Chinese knockoffs. They'll do for now.

You've got the right temperment to own one of these. It looks great!

Looks like it has several cosmetic mods. Any go fast mods?

I didn't do a whole lot of digging into the bay, but it doesn't look or feel so. Stock exhuast, intake, BOV, ect.

Only 30k kms on it though, I primarily bought it for the mileage.

Definitely some ideas for the future tho.

Would recommend the borla for an exhaust

Welcome man, nice purchase, she looks subtle but sweet. Hope she does you well and gives you no hassle lol.

Nice! Do you know what suspension it has?

SebaisionOP•

Inspected a bit before the test drive, hard to tell because of how far back the strut towers are on these, but they appear to be shorter springs on OEM struts, I could be wrong, but I didn't see any adjustments up top.

Ride quality is hard to compare, as I have not driven OEM ones, but I would say they're not that harsh if they are just springs.

CarFax shows that they were installed at a dealership at 7k kms, so that makes me think it was done correctly.
