Maybe Peleg can jump in as he just sold his STi. I had a 02 WRX (non-STI) and it was a lot of fun. However, it was a bit rough around the edges. It had a lot of rattles, the stereo wasn't very good and I had clutch judder problems with mine. I'd definitely take a long test drive and make sure you will be happy with it. They definitely aren't luxury cars.

Good luck,

Ok, F that!!! I am back! M3 is waste of money. I miss my F. I am not bugging my dealer for a good deal on a 2010! Too bad all the dealers on this site are from the USA. I need a good Canadian Dealer to give me a 2010 well below MSRP. The prices have gone up since my 2008!

At least the rates have dropped. With a $4500 security, I can get a four year lease for 2.1%.

Screw BMW and M3!

So was the dealer the problem, or the car? My local dealer wouldn't let me drive the M3. The Lexus dealer let me take out the F I bought twice (albeit it was a used car rather than new).

I used to have a 525i and loved the car but hated all of the dealers here in town. They acted as though I should be privileged that they would even work on my car. The Lexus service experience is definitely miles ahead.

Good luck with your purchase.
