My 2011 Subaru WRX STi sedan

I just passed the 1,600km break-in period after picking up this beauty about a month ago. It is very responsive and has a lot of torque even while keeping it below 4,000 RPM. Now that the break-in period has passed it is even better!

I love the rumble of the boxer engine, with the stock exhaust it has a great low, bass sound at idle. Plus it has a nice roar once you get on it.

I plan to keep it stock, just looking for some plain black license plate frames and that's about it for now, haha.

It currently has winter rims and tires on it (Continental Extreme Winter Contact tires and Fast rims). I could have picked up new 2007 STi BBS rims from the dealer for the winter but didn't want to pay an extra grand just to see them get ruined by snow and salt. So the dealer recommended this set-up and I am quite pleased. The Fast rims are from a Canadian company and I have heard good things from a friend who has rims from them. The XWC tires seem to perform poorly when there is a lot of fresh snow on the ground, but they are great when the roads are mostly clear, which is 95%+ of my driving in the Toronto area. I really bought them for the cold weather performance since the stock tires are summers which would be out of the question for my daily driver in this climate.

The one option package for Canadian STi's is the Sport-tech package, it has HID's, navigation, sunroof, automatic climate control, and fog lights. The dealer had this non-Sporttech in stock and I did not want to wait 4 months for a Sporttech, plus saving $4k is nice!

I was originally going to get silver or World Rally Blue, but again this was in stock and so the white colour quickly grew on me.

I really like the Evo too, but for some reason the STi has always been my favourite of the two. After I heard about the revised suspension for the 2011 STi's it was an easy choice for me to go with the Subaru.

Here she is after a recent ski trip, she was all dirty from driving to my aunt and uncle's place near Beaver Valley (about two hours north west of Toronto):

Nice! White was on my short list but ended up with DGM. Only have about 200 miles on mine, so I've been grandma'ing it so far
I plan on keep it stock as well....I hope. Has to be the reliable daily driver
Does the Sport-tech package have the full leather or leather/alcantara seats?
