Thats one thing I do like about my STI is the utility of the hatch and its great in the rain too. How would you say the gearbox compares/feels in the STI vs the 370?

I think the Bose system is pretty decent for a factory stereo. I have no desire to replace it. Sure it could be a little louder and have a little more base, but honestly it's plenty for most of my needs and does sound pretty darn good for an oem unit. I listen to rock and metal. If you are the type that always installs an amp in the car, then you won't like it. If you have had oem units that were "good enough" in the past, the you will probably find it adequate . My FJ cruiser has the premium system in it with a factory sub, and it doesn't sound near as good. I am replacing that unit.

I never did swap out the stereo in the STI so I figure this one should be ok
