      Agreed, the 11' WRX is the best of the 3rd gen. It was built prior to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake/tsunami that disrupted manufacturing and was subsequently not involved in the 12'-14' WRX/STI class action lawsuits over defective connecting rods leading to many premature 3rd gen engine failures.

    I feel very lucky to have bought a completely original, unmodified, low mileage 2006 WRX STI in WR blue with gold wheels. The only additions it had were genuine STI handling parts, not the usual cheap aftermarket stuff. It's now worth ~50% more than what I paid for it 8 years ago :)

    2008-2014 generation which I own(2013), had a facelift in 2011 and powerbump to 265bhp in Australia and was also standard widebodied not sure about the States, due to it's slow rep and 'ugly' looks, which totally fixed both issues in my opinion. This gen has its own cult following in Australia even more so than the Hawkeye..

      Yeah the power upgrade was in 2009. 2007-2008 narrow bodies have 225hp and 2009-2010 narrow bodies have 265hp. They carried the same engine over to the wide body but obviously changed the body a bit. But I think the power upgrade in narrow bodies was only in Ausrtalia and maybe euro countries.

This car is amazing the grip and handling feels great 1st and 2nd gear is quick and who needs a radio when you have that turbo whine and that deep exhaust hum! Sooo fun to drive.

It comes with a little spice to tune of an upggraded turbo back exhaust and a Cobb access port . Outside of that , clean title , body has one slight ding from a tire blow out on the left rear door , not major . And slight rust on front passenger fender . I'm super stoked !

      Yes that’s true the 15+ wrx’s come with 6 speeds, but they’re still far from the STI 6 speed. The split case 6 speed (which is in the 15+ WRX) cant hold itself together very well, kind of like the 5 speeds :/

    Hey ideal media, I got a question
    I found a 2002 (gen II) wrx sti for 6,500€ and I get that an sti should be crappy as hell for that price,but hear me out:it has a 2.0 Turbo stock engine and about 140.000km on the mileage.Should I take the deal.The car hasn't been in a crash or been bent in any way,and the guy just wants to move to the US and doesn't really know the difference between the wrx and wrx sti.
    So yay or nay?
    Edit:also found another one but from 2005 and for 8k, but with 73.000km,the rest is the same,so tell me about this one as well
