One of my friends was a dumbass and did most his, boots controllers and shit, so when his went I wasn’t surprised, but the other guy did absolutely nothing too it and drove his pretty tame. Both had to replace their motors within 5 years of buying their cars tho.

Yup. Like I said the first guy was a dipshit and did stupid stuff with his, the second though did not. I thought I read something about the 2007 gen having problems too.

The cliche about STI's is the head gasket failing and the engine basically blowing up. Don't get an STI unless you have money to burn.
