TUNER BATTLEGROUNDS COMPETITION
Feb 26-Mar 6 | Craftsman Product Battle
WINNER
Keith Jose had always had a soft spot for Subarus, but he was usually busy working on his 1995 Toyota Celica. Finally, the opportunity to own the STI hatchback presented itself with the right timing, and Jose jumped on it. "All that power hidden in a hatchback? Something I could not pass up", Jose mentions. "The AWD was a plus considering I live in a city that's 60% winter all year. All-in-all, I chose this vehicle because I just love the style and sound of a Subaru." Since owning the car, Jose has given it his own personal touches to make it his own.
