Default Test Drove an STi Today

A Hyundai dealer has an 05 STi on the lot with 3,500 miles on it. Practically BRAND NEW. Its in MINT condition. Blue with gold wheels. But anyways I test drove it and it was amazing! I had never driven a turbo car before. Well except for a turbo diesil cab over. But that hardly counts. But anyways I was with my dad on his way to the truck dealership to get some parts and we drove right by the Hyundai dealership and saw this beauty right out front. I talked him into stopping to look at it. And after about 5 mins he gets the guy to let us go for a drive. I drove! Im not 18 yet so this was a really big deal to me. The salesman rode with us and was really cool about it. I pushed the car a little but not too much cause I was pretty nervous. All I really wanted to say was STi's are awesome and I know what my next car is going to be. It was a huge jump from a 165 hp car to a 300 horse turbo beast! And the 6 speed gear box was so smooth. The shifts were closer together than anything I have ever driven before. I hardly had to move my arm to shift. It was amazing! The tranny was super smooth too. You could hardly tell when boost kicked in. It was almost like it was always boosting. There was massive power all the way through the powerband.

I just wanted to say again that I loved it!

No ****. Not to mention, if I had an STI in high school, I'd be dead
