Considering passing on my UK Turbo to the wife and going the STI route myself. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Question: What year produced the best STI? I have heard that the V3 was a good model, is this true. Should i go for the newest model i can afford or go for a low mileage std V3. Want to spend about £17000, if the wife agrees to take over my car. Any reccomendations on reliable importers. Many thanks Paul |
Don't know enough to comment personally, but there was a recent tirade you may have read between P1 buyers and some STi owners.
Paul Frank has an Sti V I believe, if I correctly remember reading the repair threads about it following his accident on the first Northern meet I attended last year. Do a forum search on stuff he's posted and you should find your way into the world of STi. I think Mark Otway's owners site wil also list cars in category by type, you might get some contacts to e-mail from there. Good luck. |

Walker..I to have heard that the version 3 was one of the better one's engine wise that is but if you've £17k to spend give at 2 months and V5 will be on offer down there .They are £19 offered at the moment.
I happily own a V5 4 door. ...Ian |
Think the V3 is valid if you want to tune - it seems a little more reliable? than the V5. Saying that, got a V5, done 30k in a year, oil change every 3.5k, dozen track days without a murmur. But whatever you go for, they're all superb.

Thanks for the replys, if i can stretch a couple more grand it may well have to be a Sti type R http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
