Fuel Consumption

Niggle in the back of mind that the engine is going to pop or the gearbox is about to spit gears all over the m4.

worst:
* all the money it costs
* the fact that i don't get to drive it that often
* the stereo
* tendency to understeer (i know, i know, down to my driving)
* you have to go really fast for it to be fun
* stupid looking spoiler on new-age wrx's

best:
* that you can go really fast 'effortlessly' :)

Worst:

3) Interior sytle and features
2) Standard Audio set-up
1) MPG!!!

Best

3) The burble
2) Kids saying 'look dad, that's a scooberu' :)
1) Neighbours, family and friends think you're a turbo-nutter hooligan!

Eddscott: good point about the gearbox... I worry and I only have a standard car too

Best: Sub-100 acceleration, grip, 'occasion' (for the JDM 'classic' STi's)
Worst: Steering not as 'sharp' as some marques, JDM OEM suspension a bit 'harsh', reliance on SUL a bind sometimes.
Everything else (build/service intervals/noise and rattles) is all part of the rallycar on the road experience.
Even after buying our 996 the 22B seems 'special' and I've no interest in selling it :D
Chuck

The best things:
Noise
Acceleration
Handling
Its like being in Neverland and never growing up.
Its the most reliable performance car ive ever had.
Grin Factor

Worst:
Rattles
Insatiable desire to keep modding
Parents at my kids school in their normal cars look down on me because of the noise etc............(But my kids love it!)

(Its cheaper to have serviced than my wifes Volvo T-5)

Best Stuff :

- Power / Noise
- Grip / safety
- Practicality / reliability (I have a wagon of course ;) )

Worst :

- 2 microns of paint
- clutch judder from cold
- round town fuel economy

Best

The sound, even when taking it steady
The speed, so easy to press on
The pleasure of owning the car I have wanted for years

Worst

Running costs
Attempted theft (1 so far)
My wife wanting to drive it!!!

Cheers

Best:

I've always wanted one, and now I can afford to have one.

The surge when the turbo kicks in.

The way it looks

Worst:

Without doubt the rattly interior

Service interval (then again, it could be an Evo)

Cost of parts if anything goes wrong. :(

Best:
The power.
The noise.
The handling.

Worst:
Cold start performance and the time it takes to warm up.
Worrying about where it'll get nicked/keyed/vandalised.
Closing down my dealer just after I'd decided to keep the car for another year.

Best - performance, looks and "special-ness"

Worst - Worry about theft/damage, Running cots (not just fuel but service components wear out FAST), stereo (now replaced).

:D - good WAY out-weigh the bad!

The only prob i've had on my 9 month old/ 30,000km's car is the screw falling out of the key in a supermarket car park. The interior is a little bland but who's looking a the interior when you're tear-arsing aroung country lanes.
