STI 8 - A Bit Common ?
Now before everyone gets all uptight, I am not having a go at the STI 8, I think it is one of the nicest (if not the nicest) looking Imprezas there has been.
But how common are they ???!!!! I live in Harrogate, not a massive town, and ok it is quite an affluent area, but there must be at least a dozen floating about
I suppose this says a lot for the car, but IMHO I wouldn't have one now (was seriously interested in getting one) I now percieve this car as "common" (In Harrogate anyway) I'm off for a car with a bit of individuality, something you don't see everyday...
...I'm just not sure what yet
Just my 2p worth...

STI8 might be common but its still a fantastic looking car IMO.

I've only owned an STi for about 6 weeks and have so far only seen 3 others
...thats despite living only 2 miles from a main dealer,suffice to say the roads aren't completely clogged up with 'em just yet

My SpecC looks almost identical to an STi8 (only the rear carbon spoiler gives it away normally from a far). I had an Evo VIII before it and I well prefer my Scooby, regardless of how many are on the roads.
Tell ya what though - in Cheshire, it still attracts twice as much attention and people looking than my Evo did any day of the week

The other week I pulled up at my local dealers and for a moment they thought the first WR1 they'd seen had driven in

I work in Harrogate and generally see 2 8's (sorry GM 
) every morning, and i still fancy one
I see one of the local chavs is running about in a 7 doing silly speeds around town at night

Common?
I'm working in Fleet at the moment and see more M3's than STI's. Must be a regional thing! Just as well I don't take scooby to work or my arm's would be shot through all the waving......nobody waves at Toyota's
