This price range reflects the Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail value for all trim levels, but not necessarily all available options.
The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail value represents the amount an auto dealer might ask for a specific vehicle; the actual sale price will vary. A vehicle's popularity, condition, warranty, color and local market conditions are factors involved in determining a final price. The retail value is not a trade-in or private party value.
The Suggested Retail value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history. The Suggested Retail value also allows for advertising, sales commissions, insurance and other costs of doing business as a dealer. Most vehicles offered at this price have passed an inspection, and some may carry a warranty. Vehicle mileage is assumed to be normal or below normal.
"I have a 2008 and not a 2011. Cars.com only has the option for an 11. I just got this car about a month ago so I cannot really comment on the reliability yet, but so far so good. The car itself is a blast to to drive. I have a a family of four and it fits them fine. My kids are 6 and 2 1/2 and they fit well in the back. I imagine as they get older they will be a bit cramped behind the drivers seat. I am 6-2 and I don't put the seat all the way to the back, but it's close. My biggest surprise is how comfortable the driver's seat it. It really feels good even on long drives.
The car handles great and it's stupid fast. So fast in fact that I find myself actually driving slower than my previous Mazda 3 because frankly I have nothing to prove. I know I can beat almost anything on the road so why bother. When I need to go then I do. Another plus is that this car has all the get up and go that you need; however if you are in a situation where you have to drive "normally" you do not feel punished for it. A lot of cars of this ilk feel uncomfortable and whine at slow speeds. I never feel that way in this STI.
I took it to the mountains in Colorado and it had no trouble climbing. It hugs curvy roads.
The car is a little light on amenities (which may have been fixed in 2011). I don't have the option for heated seats, sunroof etc, but if you want that buy a BMW. Buy the STI for a fun to drive car that is fast. Gas mileage could be better, but again if you are worried about gas mileage then this is not the car for you."
