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
Totaly mising the point. We all love our cars thats obvious but im saying even though they have strong ish performance theres cars new and old that would annihilate all but the most modded scooby and return simialr mpg figuars
