You buy it - you smile.
Smile fades - you mod it. Smile returns.
Smile fades again. You mod it further. Smile returns.
Smile fades again...

It's like heroin on wheels.

Well I've had my STi since last July (having wanted a Scooby for longer than I care to remember), and my smile hasn't faded at all!

The only thing that makes me smile more - seeing my hubby washing & polishing her in the hope I will let him drive....... (some hope...)

never fades

just when your feeling down

You get a wave...........
You get a wave from a traffic cop (some are human )
Kids shout 'nice car mate'
Kids take photos with there phone as you pass
Everyone on the village high street looks round when when you blip the throttle (aftermarket BB)
you go through a tunnel

and the driving oooooooooooh

enjoy

31 as well. Petrol costs, that's it. Maintenance is higher than a shopping hatch as you'd expect but no worse than other sports cars.

Had mine almost four years now and can't complain about anything, it has never let me down ever!

Mine makes me smile every time I drive it, even after 2 plus years of ownership and 10k spent on upkeep, modding & running costs.
