I special ordered my 13 STI sedan in rally blue, no sunroof,and NAV and waited 4 months for it, it was 35K and change. very cheap for what you get.

But unless something changed dramatically, the 15 STI is going to rattle just as much as my 13. And mine has no sunroof, which usually helps with the rattle.

The M235 is a nicer environment to be in than the STI no question, because it's not a 45K car with a 40K drivetrain.

And that wing? I like it fine. But then, I had a bright yellow car with a huge wing and a dry sump engine from .de before I had kids. That and I just don't care what people think. I do find it funny when I give the STI to the valet at Melisse knowing that the meal would cost more than one month of STI lease payment.

Get what makes you happy, but don't knock the competent STI because of what it is. It never pretends to be anything but a 35K car with a 30K drivetrain.
