You say you agree, fine then please elaborate why you agree
............and i own a modified Impreza and have also owned a stock newage wrx so i also have experience in the points being made...........So i will elabortae for you.....The wrx was by far a better daily driver.

You seem to have a bee in your bonnet because he made reference to the RB320 when he should of just mentioned STI....

You can be pedantic if you like but you still failed to elaborate on exactly what you agree with. This is the quote you agreed too.
This is why, IMHO, something like an RB320 or overly modified scooby is a flawed concept. Yes, it may be even faster and corner even harder but it loses that 'real world' clearance and ability to cope with pot holes, adverse cambers, ruts and crap that a rally car should have. The more you modify, the more of a weekend or track car you create and the less of a road/rally car you own.
I've highlighted the parts i disagree with. I also cant see why a wrx would be better in the points i highlighted. You obviously can because in your wisdom you agreed.

My STI is my daily driver and (when we were together) I`d drive from Wrexham to Kent to see my girlfriend and I used to love every minute of it (apart from the roadworks ) Maybe mine isn`t `modded` enough but I love it.
