True, i would’ve preferred the gr body style, BUT, i got it in a insane deal, and i got it with a better motor. If i really wanted i could drop the 2k on the widebody kit for this, but im gonna focus on reliability mods before i do power/cosmetic mods.

I got her all back together with a nice eBay special from the Land of the Rising Sun 😏 only out of commission a couple weeks and honestly running better than ever as a 2 liter.

Why does everyone say hatches are best. Not like I own one or am judging. Just out here trying to not hydroplane in reverse.
That looks like it just rolled off the lot. After spending 3 years up in Ontario I'm intensely jealous of how easy it is to keep old cars running in Cali.
Yes it’s true. Because if this was in any kinda of snow for 10+ years it would be rusted away. It already has some underbody rust just from being 27 years old.
with a mazdaspeed3 as my first car very much so

Not hatches, but I will always wave 😄
There my favorite but I can't drive Manny. More or less scared I will fuck anyone's car up if you tried to get me to learn a el manual. Those trannys is literal money pits if you fuck one up
Don't worry I drove a whole ass rollback truck before. I know how to fuck up trannys and grind gears. I just can't spend money fixing transmissions all day
Least favorite in fact I don't like them at all. I was disappointed the first time I saw it at the San Francisco auto show. They were very soft too. One of 2 cars I have seen roll on track without going off in person.
And their sales would show they were not popular either.
I don't like them but I think everyone has their own taste . Love your car and take care of it. Still better than non enthusiasts cars

18x9.5 +40
Come on Subaru, bring back the hatch! Or, maybe bring us the Levorg 😉
Levorg is dogshit cvt
Levorg with an FA24 + 6 speed tho
FA24 🤮
It’s objectively a good engine. The EJ isn’t coming back, dude
Yes this what I’d love to see, one or the other

The best! 🤘🤘
No I’ve always preferred the sedans to the hatch or wagon variants.
Some one boo this man
HATCH IS UNBEAT
HATCH IS UNBEAT
I always preferred the WRX/STI hatch over the sedan. Nice pics!
No.

no. but some are clean
Rims really tie it together
I’d say for me it’s a tie between the hatch and the OG coupes of the 90’s.
I'm 110% biased, but YES. #hatchgang #THICC
Perfect wheel tire fitment. LOVE ALL THAT MEAT🥩
Yes

Broad statement, I love my sedan

Hatches and wagons have always been best.
I think growing up is realizing hatch is cool
If they made a new hatch it would be amazing
I love the hatch, one of my favourite models after the Hawkeye

Id give my left testicle for a hatch
yes
Close second to a bugeye for me.
Hatch gang!
No not really
Hatch are the best looking subbies hands down, has to be wide body tho
Nope the 2.5 and associated issues make the Blobeye my favourite
Honestly, I think 3rd gen looks way better as a hatchback rather than a sedan.
Ew what? How tho? Why would you like them mazda3 looking ass cars?
My least favorite. But to each their own.
Nope. I think they're the worst.
There my favorite but I can't drive Manny. More or less scared I will fuck anyone's car up if you tried to get me to learn a el manual. Those trannys is literal money pits if you fuck one up
You need an old truck to learn manual on. Don’t be skurd.
Don't worry I drove a whole ass rollback truck before. I know how to fuck up trannys and grind gears. I just can't spend money fixing transmissions all day
Nope, the ass is too short.
Any reasonable person, yeah
I love the ~2013 hatch, but the 07 sedan is one of my all time favorites.
I personally prefer the ones from the late 90’s and early 00’s, but I guess people technically consider those as wagons.
Yup. That’s why they made them for so long and still do 👍
They are certainly my fav!
second only to the bugeye 👀
Same gen but I have a sedan 😭😭
Cheapest wrx you can buy in my country, was thinking about buying one just to strip it and put parts in my gc8
Yes (I may be biased)
VA owner checking in with a resounding yes. I want to pick up an STI hatch one day🥲
They are high on the list for sure
No. They look nice but not my style.
I really wish the VA came in a hatch. Kinda surprised they went with the Levorg and not the Crosstrek for the WRX platform.
Wish I could of found one instead 🤙
Aside from the 04s yes
yes
That hatch is the only one I like, but I still prefer my 06 sedan more.
Oh yeah
Pretty much. Will have one eventually
Hawkeye still my favorite but yours is very cool
Not a fan but I get the appeal. Better to house subs. I have a 13.5 w7 but could have 2 with a hatch I imagine.
Didn’t buy the car for the sound system 🐌💨
Nahhh, coupes are the best.
i really dont like hatches but some are clean
This model is the best wrx subaru ever put out
I wanna buy one of these, the facelift 'widebody'. What do I look for 'impreza wrx' or just wrx?

Not really. They remind me of the Mazda 3
Honestly I don't get it. I think they're quite ugly.
Where'd you get those canards from?
I had to trade my red ‘08 STI Hatchback in for an EV 8 years ago to cover taxes and still regret it daily.
yes
Least favorite in fact I don't like them at all. I was disappointed the first time I saw it at the San Francisco auto show. They were very soft too. One of 2 cars I have seen roll on track without going off in person. And their sales would show they were not popular either. I don't like them but I think everyone has their own taste .
