WRONG. The Type R STI is the only proper STI.

It's a free country, brother. Like I wrote, a lot of threads on here make interesting reading, and most members seem like decent guys. It just happens to be my opinion that I think there's sometimes unnecessary animosity, especially towards new members. I'm sure if you joined a forum you wouldn't appreciate being ridiculed in your opening few posts. Anyway, I think I've made my point!

Type R's are for show offs and wannabe drifters.

Does the shoe fit?

You've obviously never driven one.

With you being a WRX owner with bolt on STI spoiler, it would quite frankly scare the **** out of you, but it will also make you realise how much of a mistake you made buying a wrx

No, my late father had a stroke and all of sudden fast cars became less important.

Probably best to buy an Audi then, much more comfortable and no need for bolt on spoilers

Sorry a other WRX driver joins the thread, I have owned mine 7 and a half years and DROVE 80,000 + miles in it. I see WRXs as the drivers cars on here used day in day out and the type Rs and STIs as bit part cars that the owners talk about driving but never seem to get round to doing. I am about to jump in mine and pop up to Glasgow and stick around a 100 miles on it today, how many miles have you done this week ?.

I drive my car everyday, I don't believe in 'weekend' cars.

You see WRX's as the 'drivers' because they are cheaper to insure and tax, meaning council estate degenerates can afford them, nothing to do with mileage or being a 'drivers' car.

I ve been rumbled £500 a year tax £400 insurance and £3,000 fuel a year, just put £120 of oil in engine and gearbox and is getting new alloy front arms, pro drive suspension, ARBs and a geo done no tacky Sti Bolt on,s here. I also have a new boot lid and A line spoilers to be painted and fitted and a refurb done to my Work XT7s sorry to disappoint. A type R would have been more expensive to run ,how ?, pity they don't do them in 4 door as I need them for the grandkids.

you pay £500 tax for a WRX?

You could have a good car for that!

Type R's drink petrol like alcoholics, but the best fun you will ever have.
