Dope Status.
The paint was shitty, I had a intermittent check engine lamp and the engine eventually spun a rod bearing. On the thirtieth day of it being out of service, I sent a demand letter to Subaru and they bought it back.
Overall, the car was terrible in stock form. It took over $10,000 in aftermarket parts to make the thing drive well and that didn't address any of the deficiencies with respect to the general feeling of bargain-basement cheapness inherent to the car.

iirc, early 08 sti's had some engine management problems and some production issues with the engine.
and in general, all subaru paint sucks.
Ok, i was thinking that i read somewhere that when the 08's first came out, even just putting on an intake cause the engine to lean out just enough for it to pop.
Gatebil is the shit, there is literally something for everyone in this video, enjoy
