If you want anything newer, given what they did with the engine/suspension in the 08+ lineup... get the WRX265. Apparently Canada is the only N.A. market to have both the 224HP and the 265HP WRX models.

For day to day driving, get a 05-07 WRX :)

lol. you guys kill me.

265 vs 225 vs 300...were talking a small tune away form matching any of those numbers. Slap an sti turbo and tune on a 06-07 wrx and youve got sti numbers, easy as that.

I laugh at the guys that think theyre ahead with the 265's....a stage 1 tune on a 06 will give you more than that. Sure you can do the same on the 265's but your still limited with the 5 speed tranny, the 06 and 08 5 pseed will take the same amount of abuse.

The only advantage as far as Im concerned that the sti has over the regular WRX is the stronger 6 speed tranny. If your looking for a relaible 400whp machine, you'll need the sti tranny. You want something below that, you should be ok with the 5 speed. I dont know many guys running around with 400whp sti's though, most are happy with the stock 300.

cobalt ss is more like to svt..or st in europe..

The cobalt ss can be compared much more accurately with the rs than the svt.

And LOL to the guys saying their focus is better than a cobalt ss. :rofl:

The cobalt ss would do circles around the focus svt. 265 hp vs 170hp? bahahahahah. c'mon guys. :rolleyes: My TURBO focus would barely walk on the supercharged ss's...it was door to door with the turbo version. For you guys to say that your focus is a better performer just shows how much you really know.

Read the stats, even with old school tech, the cobalt ss is still just as much of a corner carver than the focus.
