Sti to MCS wisconsin

Hello all

I recently traded in my Sti for a new kia forte sx
I had blow by on cylinder #3 and the turbo seals were going out
Still got 18k for my trade in tho....

From this



To this




After about a month of owning the Kia i knew i wanted another weekend "toy"


So after searching for about a month i found this




Its not as fast as the Sti on the straights but it sure makes up for it in the corners

J.

I must say, I've always been a sucker for STI's. But you picked up a very nice MCS. Love the JCW aero kit with the black rims on the PW MCS. Looks awesome. I'm not a big fan of the PW but with that combination with the black rims and aero kit...my oh my. Those orange turn signals have always bugged me though for some reason.

Happy trails fellow motorer!

I absolutely love it I'm getting 33 mpg avg with city driving with sport mode off

The Sti never got that even on the interstate..

Now I'm deciding if I want to install a Alta AP
