As above really. I know there are lots of STi variants but I'm thinking along the lines of a 99 - 00 car. As for the bug eye I'm thinking a wrx with the PPP. Which is the better car in terms of both everyday use and all round driving experience?? Obviously they are quite different but I'm just after opinions really. Not too interested in people's views with on the looks, just the things mentioned above.

Cheers folks

 

Cue posts by various scoobynetters in favour of their own car.

Briefly, one is faster and the other is better built and safer.

 

Well from experience I always lean towards getting the newer car....

 

You said you wanted the car for everyday use and that makes a difference too.

 

Plus bugeyes look better.

 

Duh ! Re-read the first post !

 

Agreed on both accounts

I owned

1) MY99 UK
2) MY02STiUK PPP
3) MY99STi JDMType R
and now a MY06STi JDM Type20

OK personally I prefer the newage on most fronts

But if you are doing "Milage" you may well prefer the newage over rawer standard Classic STi JDM

IMHO

Doing about 300 miles a week including the weekend most weeks. Thanks for the info so far guys

 

Owned a nice Classic plus drove a couple of new age variants.

Classic is or certainly feels quicker and more raw although can be a bit twitchy where as a new age is more planted and forgiveable and better
for long journeys etc.

Newage does not seem to pick its heels as early up as quick as a Classic though
