first of all just like to say hi and this is my first post,not yet bought a scooby but hopefully very soon,
can someone tell me the differances between a 2003-2004 wrx and the wrx sti and how much more should you pay for the sti,thanks johny

 

STI has better brakes and gearbox, and more power as standard.

 

Forget the WRX, an STi is better and has loads more potential for further modification and upgrading.

Unless you want a sportwagon go for the STi. It's better than buying a WRX and then spending a fortune trying to get it to handle stop and go as well as the STi.

ETA: If i wanted to do it again and i was desperate for the space of a Sportwagon but wanted the go of an STi it would have to be a version 7 Bugeye STi wagon, and they are as rare as S202's.

 

STI's are worth the extra money and will save you dosh in the long term if you are planning on modifying it

 

Hi again and cheers for all the advice,more or less made up my mind and going see if i can find a good 04ish sti,anything i should look out for or avoid???
