Hey ive just noticed that the 09 WRX was beefed up pretty insanely from the 08 model, some tests show its 1.1 sec quicker 0-100 than the 08 model

Now in saying that, that pretty much puts it on par with the STI 0-100 wise (give or take a little from either). Now i was looking at geting the STI, but saving 10k and geting the WRX is starting to look like the better option, but since im not great with cars, can anyone tell me what the STI has that the WRX doesn't?

I'm an everyday driver but obviously i want to give it a little bit every now and then. I don't want to get the WRX when stuff will just break when i decide to give it a little bit.

I'd much rather get the STI if it can handle more of a beating than the WRX. I don't no wether or not i want to mod the WRX atm, so that could be an option.

Cheers

Hey, first of all im new and i hope this is in the right forum.

Im looking at buying an 08' STI hatch. I've been doing a little research and I've noticed a few people have had problems. Ive read about a few people blowing their engines and transmission problems. Id really love to hear from more experienced people (i only know a little bit about cars) and if they have heard / experienced any problems with the 08 STI.

Im not sure if it is due to the driver overtrashing it or just manufacturer problems with the new model STI's.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers
