16 year old, arizona, good grades, took the safety class and driving school thing, how much you think insurance would be for an sti?

Way too much. 300 foot pounds of torque in a light car means accidents. Start with a wrx or base impreza and work up. You can then install STi parts without the insurance company knowing.

Better have a rich parent.

Your insurance would be OUTRAGEOUS. The STi was not intended for young, inexperienced drivers. l have talked to Subaru salespeople who have responsibily pursuaded parents NOT to buy their 16 yr old a STi. Look, get a 2.5i Impreza. l would say WRX is too much for an inexperienced driver. Trust me, you will damage it one way or another as a new driver. Get a safe car, not a hot rod when you are new.

Well at the age of 16, it is more likely that you'd be on ur parents insurance. It is going to be expensive, because insurance companies know what an STi is. Most WRX drivers have high insurance rates because so many of them r crashed.and the STi is even worse.

If u want a safe, quick, sporty vehicle.start out with something a little cheaper, that has a little less horsepower. Just get a used 02-04 WRX instead. You can also buy a used 2.5RS. No, it would not have a turbo, but at 16.you do not need one.

wont be relevant because youll kill yourself within only a few months.

Might wanna look into funeral costs.

at 16, nobody is ready for a car like that without some high speed safety courses (like at a racetrack). Seriously. Cars do some very unexpected things around their limits. Not something you want to find out for the first time on the roads with other people around you.

MORE THAN YOUR CAR PAYMENT. 300+ A MONTH

It can be anywhere from $1300-$2000 per 6 months.
l live in Pennsylvania where it is $1500 per 6 months for a regualr car like a Honda Civic or Mazda Protege.

The STi is the second most expensive car to insure for a reason, they are fast and somewhat affordable. l would expect at least 550$ every month, no joke.
