The STI S209 is one of the MOST RARE Subarus ever made, with just 209 being produced for the USA only. Under the hood there have been some updates to the 2.5L flat-4 engine which now produces 341 HP & still mated to a 6-speed transmission. The S209's exterior has many unique and special one-off pieces that provide extra performance. On the inside you will find a custom interior that sets this STI apart from any other. Should I begin my search and track down a 2019 Subaru WRX STI S209 to BUY?
**Please visit www.dreamgiveaway.com/ for details on how to WIN this particular S209 or see their other GIVEAWAYS currently available.

Update to my previous post here. Was getting my 2019 sti oil change at the dealer and guess what........ they had a s209 in world rally blue on the floor. Number 11 of 209 to be exact. Crazy beautiful car in person. Had to wipe off the drool when I left. 64k sticker and that’s what they wanted for it. Was I wanting to trade up? Ya, a bit I must say. Did I? No. Anyway crazy nice in person. Jealous of who gets one. Worth 64k...... still a collectors car imho. But yes worth it.

Wow if I had 60 some odd grand laying around I’d buy one of these in a heartbeat! I think the nearly double cost is well worth the subtle tweaks and especially the exclusivity and specialness to own 1 of only 209 cars. And I’ve always loved when you get a special car that’s AWESOME only to car enthusiasts. Like to the average person they think “this is just another basic Subaru. Who cares...” but a petrol head; especially a Subaru fanboy flips tf out and goes “OMFG I can’t believe I’m looking at a fucking S209 in person!!!!” It’s a low key badass car yah know

For a Subaru is high priced but Subaru is losing money on every one it sells. It cost tremendous amount of money to certify the car for the USA through the NHTSA since is considered from STI as another manufacturer. The car is enough different in front and other structure needs to pass it's own crash and safety testing. This is halo car to draw us all into the dealer but to sell us other cars. After all 209 cars and so many who would want one. Subaru should be commended doing this in any case. Thanks for sharing Joe!!
