About the STI it is a pretty sad story. I just fell in love with this car as soon as the guy started the engine. The exhaust note was awsome. You don't need a subwoofer at all. I almost made the deal when I started realising a lot of things like high maintenance (for example the bridgestone potenzas on the STI are only rated for 7000 miles). I drive 70 miles daily to work. I shopped around for insurance and got outrageous quotes. The dealership was also having a tough time locating the colour of my choice. I wanted black exterior with gold coloured wheels. Meanwhile I started thinking and felt that I may be stretching my budget a little more that I originally thought for an STI. It was really hard to let it go. But I had to do it. The TSX is not bad. It loves to rev and is a great daily driver. It is filling atleast a part of the big gaping hole the STI left in my heart | |

| Team-BHP Support  | Ah! Being an auto enthusiast in NJ is really difficult. I am a former NJ resident and a former Acura 3.2TL owner. I too looked at many sporty options, every time it was the insurance quote that brought me back to sense. Not to mention way too many cops picking on sports cars. |

| BHPian | Hi Samurai. So you know how the insurance rates are in NJ. When were you in NJ? Insurance rates are getting better these days. But they still have a lot of catching up to do with other states. By the way, TL is an awsome car. Was it a type-S? |

 Well, i guess you could say its written in the stars that yet another indian in the US ends up buying a BMW, Honda or Acura (Merc if you're a doctor)Anyway, Keep working on that STI fund.... IMO there is no other car that appeals to both heart and head as much as the STI. cya R Last edited by Rehaan : 28th December 2005 at 09:41. | |
