Comparing the WRX to an STI... if youre looking for performance. it makes much more sense to go with an STI...

Comparing an STI to a WRX

With the STI you get

Suede(ish) seats
6spd vs 5spd
2.5L vs 2.0L (until 06... 06 wrx comes with a 2.5)
Bigger turbo
Brembo 4 piston brakes
BBS wheels.
That godawful spoiler
Gages.
Bigger Intercooler with water spray.
Center differential with BIAS control (SWEET!!!)
Not to mention a crapload of suspension upgrades.
HID's

Not to mention, if you import the car from the US... an sti can cost you as little as 22k (USD)

If you want to save money and are interested in the STI. check the sale forums on NASIOC.


The wrx discussion , seems to have taken this thread off topic. and probably should be branched off into a seperate topic
