I figured the limited WRX would be sufficient until I inspected a base Sti. I always thought they were $50k base plus options but found that the base starts at $39K There's really only $4k difference between the two, mind you the Limited WRX has some of the tech options (DVD, moonroof etc.) that the base sti doesn't.
I know the WRX can match the sti hp#'s easily with $4000 in mods, but I really like the overall look of the STi vs. the WRX. I am looking for level headed opinions as to why the Sti is worth the $4000 more while losing a few tech options, or why the WRX should be sufficient and kee some cash in pocket.
What about getting a 2007 Sti from the States for around 24g's ($31,000 CDN imported). My favorite body style.
Or an Sti limited: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/cars-sal...e-dropped.html

You mofo's! :guns: We are talking strictly straight line and horsepower numbers, not talking about the brakes, suspension, seats, wheels or taking it around corners and whatever else makes the STi superior. :rofl:
Of course the 265 is no STi. I'm not stupid, I drive a _____ :D
Anyway, how stiff is the STi? I've never driven one but always assumed they were track oriented. I prefer the WRX because I like the Accord comfort but with wicked straight line go. :burnout:
I'm also not quite sold on the hatch. I very much prefer the sedan. :dunno:
