I do have to say that I dont miss the fuel consumption of my Spec C v my RCZR, considering the performance difference (like very little to none) I can happily drive and get 40+ mpg in the Peugeot, I use to get 25 mpg in the Spec C, the major difference is that I dont have to worry about finding a petrol station after the first 100 miles in the RCZ R where as in the Spec C I had to have it planned on the route

I've owned all 3 cars that you have mentioned in this thread, a Newage WRX, a Newage STI and an EVO 5....I can categorically state, a Newage WRX with 260bhp would get absolutely annihilated by a 380bhp EVO...Fact!
They are not even in the same league! Matt, you really are a fool.

Like I say I'd like to know the transmission losses of the WRX, STI and EVO's. That'd be better than those with WRX-denial perpetually shouting the STI is faster because it has a stronger gearbox and bigger brakes.

Many good marques have died or been ruined by market forces where owners have complained about poor fuel consumption on a performance car. These type of people should be slapped the on the back of the head and shouted in their ear "fast cars use lots of fuel, what did you f**kin' expect!"

I do think though for around the 3 grand mark a newage wrx is probley the best blend of practicality speed and looks your going to get.
But a uk sti at 6 grand? Theres alot of cars for that money that would do the daily driver thing much better
