In cars, for me that means reliability, a feeling of solidity, and in general being over-engineered. That's increasingly hard to come by, not just in cars but most manufactured goods, as companies in all industries relentlessly pursue cost-cutting to squeeze out as much profit as possible. Sadly, the American car companies have taken that kind of cost-cutting to an extreme, and it shows glaringly.
Nice~! Nothing like warm analog sound. I agree, these STI/WRX are very reliable and the 18+ have been nicely revised. I'm not a fan of the 2020 STI's wheels however..
