The absolute best STI is the 06-07 model year. This is where the weight and size meet modern elements in the interior and it all kind of works. After that, Subaru just keeps piling weight on and making it worse. GR interior quality is terrible, and they finally straightened that out in the latest iteration.
Fast forward to today, we have the exact same EJ257 motor that was found in the 2004 STI. 5hp more than over a decade ago. And just more weight. It has a nice interior now, but the older cars are much more fun to drive.
If you want a modern Subaru I'd honestly get the WRX which has a better motor and y.is 9 tenths the STI for less mone
Mine was fun, but honestly not as fun as the older years. And the new models are much of the same. Do yourself a favour and find an 06 or 07 STI limited or just go with a new WRX.

Yep, I'm taking delivery of new WRX next week and sell my 128i to save up for M2 CS!!!
