hi, im new to here and looking at getting a Scooby, can anyone give some advice on what to look for, ie which is better to get wrx or sti, the best year, or anything else I might need to know, many thanks

 

Where to start.... What's your budget, what are your plans? Will it be a daily driver? We all have our own views on which is best.

 

hi, yes it will be my daily drive, I have no plans as yet but after getting one how knows what will happen, im looking at about £4500-5.

 

Wrx with ppp , dump valve and roof vent at your own leisure

Only joking fella.......if you can find a nice sti go for that , good enough car out of the box

 

I've been told that sti have more problems than a wrx is that true or is the sti a much better car to buy..

 

I wouldn't say so, it's completely dependent on the car. What model or year STI/WRX. what power plant it has, it's service history, even how clued up or meticulous the previous owner is. There's several hundreds of pages on here regarding info on certain models, wrx vs sti etc. have a search maybe?!

I've bought wrx's for my dailys personally but I didn't buy them to modify in anyway. I'l certainly be buying an STI soon though as I plan to heavily modify it and it won't be a daily driver.
