This Is How Much It Really Costs to Own a Subaru WRX STI

From Road & Track

If you're looking for a used car that's good at everything, it's hard to find one that's better than a Subaru WRX STI hatchback. It can carry people and haul most of your stuff, but it's also a blast to drive and quicker than many cars that cost far more. But is it really as good of a deal as it seems?

Well, Jason from Engineering Explained recently sold his after a little more than two years of ownership. This is his break down of what those two years of ownership cost him.

Resale value has always been one of the STI's strengths, but he managed to sell it for even more than we would have thought. More than two years later, his STI lost less than $5,000 in value. Compared to pretty much any new car (other than maybe a Toyota Tacoma), that's practically unheard of.
