Had to let her go
Traded in my leased 2016 wrx 
She was a blast but it was time to move on. As fun as she was it was just time. I know i eventually will miss a manual but for now i'm happy with an automatic. To be fair, if i was 27 instead of 37 she'd still be with me.
My parting review is as such for the old girl:
Looks....8, really loved how she looked as i was never a hatchback type guy. She was black on black
Interior....6, i thought she was nice enough and i appreciated the bluetooth and touch screen monitor and sunroof. Had the premium and the cloth seats were just ok. I wish the steering wheel had been more quality leather and after only 2 years it was already wearing and slightly peeling
Comfort....5, to be fair she wasn't built for comfort but she wasn't uncomfy either
Handling....9, easily best handling car i've owned
Performance....7, turbo lag is real but when she spooled she just went. The power drop off was bad on stock tune but i heard its better tuned
Gas mileage....10, routinely got 27+mpg, city included and i along with my wallet will really miss that. Honestly don't know what more u could ask for with a car this quick
Fun factor....8, she was very quick but not necessarily fast, handled like a cheetah and always made me smile when boost kicked in. I will miss that.
We had some good times subie sue and i hope the next owner treats you well

Not gonna lie, i will miss the m/t and wish i coulda kept subie as my weekend warrior to have fun in. All in all the sho just fits more what i need right now but i know the day will come where i get that "itch" again lolCongrats on the new ride! Being honest, I was a fan of the first generation of SHO, with its 3200lb weight, available manual, and high-revving V6, but they sortof lost the thread after that, if they were going to appeal to me. Sounds like it's what you were looking for, though, so good deal!
I think A/T's go along with mainstream, societal expectations of a "grownup" car. And, of course, it's what most people want, now. I did try...in '96 I bought a new Maxima with an auto, because I'd be traveling a lot for my (then) job. I hated it immediately, and it's been manuals ever since for my personal car. I don't mind being an oddball.![]()
