Great clip and IMO the ‘07 STIs were beautiful and one of the best gens to drive. I had an 08 WRX and Suburu really dropped the ball on them. It just wasnt the same car as the year prior. They gave it 30? more HP in 09 to make up for their mistake.
Those black wheels are super slick and make your STI pop. However, I hope you have a whole lot of tire black because that rubber will look dingy quick! I never noticed how ugly my tires were until I owned a black car with two tone wheels.

I can imagine
Let’s hear that exhaust note when you have a minute. Nothing sounds like a Subie!I cant wait for Borla to come out with the Mk7.5 exhaust for my GTI. I may even do the 4” slanted tips.

Any of you have any opinions on the Honda Accord sport? I'm thinking this might be my next car purchase, but i'm trying to decide if I should wait til 2019 or the tail end of December 2018 when dealerships are trying to offload inventory. I'm leaning towards a 2015 but a 2016 might be on the table if the price is right. I've seen plenty around with low sub 40K mileage. I have to admit, i'm not really a sports car kinda guy but I kinda prefer this version over the standard version. The spoiler, twin exhaust and the 18" rims give it a nice touch too.

I'm probably not the best person to weigh in on the subject, since I view cars in much the same way I view microwave ovens- they're a necessity of modern life, but I just don't care about them. That said, I own a 15 LX, and it suits my needs just fine. It's hard to go wrong with an Accord from a practical standpoint. They're utterly reliable, hold their value well, and Honda has steadily refined then so that they've been one of the best cars in their highly competitive class for years. Our long term mechanic back in Houston told us that he bought his wife an Accord because he didn't want to work on cars in his off time, and he knew with an Accord he wouldn't have to.
I don't know how much the Sport model adds to the base price, but I agree that it does look a bit less generic. If you like it, and the price is appropriate, go ahead and get it. With basic preventive maintenance, you should easily get 200k miles out of it, and 300k isn't unrealistic.

i cannot comment on the offloading as we do ours in Jun for australian dealership's EOFY sales. USA honda's confuse me. when is it an acura not a honda and vice versa? but i've admired the older accords especially with the older 06 Euro R versions that we get over in singapore. Honda's are generally very reliable and they're definitely up there with toyota in my books. However, I can give you 1 decent competitor to think about which is the Mazda 6. (assmuming that you haven't)
i feel has the Mazda 6 is the best value in it's given it's interior quality that for a japanese manufacturer, has it's standards on par with the european models. the major disappointment i have is the CVT that most manufacturers use know which really dulls the driving experience and some units can be quite slow to react to a downshift or upshift. AFAIK mazda is the only Japanese manufacturer to stick with a traditional 6 speed automatic.

Built like tanks and I like how they look actually. If you can get a good deal, it's a no brainer. Does Honda have the same service as Toyota where you can look up the car's maintenance history by its VIN #?..
I believe most people in the US use carfax to get a vehicle history report for things such as recalls and accidents, but I don't know if that includes a maintenance history.

The spoiler and such are purely cosmetic and don't add any extra benefits for me over a standard Accord but those things do stand out. When I was married my ex-wife and I bought a 2010 Honda CRV together and she still has it. Likewise, I want something reliable and nice to look at.
