scoobiesteve103 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 after talking to a bloke the other day with a mint hawk sti i started to wonder why people with the sti imprezas slate the wrx cars. i can understand the scoobie vs evo thing but sti vs wrx WTF. ive had an import sti and have now got an import wrx classic that im just as happy with. the sti cost me £3500 back in 2005 and i payed £900 insurance.i fitted a fmic and induction kit and full stainless turbo back exhaust and it was around 300bhp i was a happy bunny but sold it. after a year away i got my import wrx and it was standerd when i bought it but the turbo was naff and i got it for £1300 and pay £429 fully comp insurance.it runs at 307bhp with a td05 turbo,autobahn fmic chipped ecu full stainless turbo back exhaust (again happy) and it drives just as good so why the spilt between sti wrx?

Terry Butcher Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Up the WRX I say, a cheaper car to run, my hawk is fine on 95 ron fuel too. It is a bit softer on the suspension so a bit more comfortable on a run. It still goes very fast and on public roads the difference in performance is hardly noticeable really, certainly with standard cars. I prefer the STi wing though. Link to comment

xphilsx Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 who cares what we own as long as its a subaru and we are happy with it until the bug get us I agree, this is after all the SUBARU Impreza Drivers Club Therefore you could, and many do, have even the base gl model, but that would be silly WRX? STI? UK? Jap? Who cares Link to comment
