05 JDM STI?
Are they really that good???
I'm looking to change my v5 STI and after doing some research on here people seem to point people that way.
I love my V5 but it's getting a bit long in the tooth. I can't really afford a JDM at the £9-10 mark but if it's really that much better than the UK version I'll hang on and save some more money.
On another note I really need a wagon (like my current car) but you can't get STI wagons and I think I'll be disappointed going back to a WRX.
Would like to know your thoughts guys.

Worth the extra money for the rear wiper lol seriously the extra,s make them a bit more worth it stronger engine, higher reving, close ratio box is a bit sore on motorways though but i love mine, still miss my classic ra so be carefull that you are doing the right thing, im at 440bhp and still feels clumbsy and too heavy

I've had a uk classic (rb5 WR sport) and V2 JDM STI RA.
Currently have uk Wrx PPP and a JDM SPEC C hawk (TYPE RA).
I loved the rb5 but decided to get the spec c. Then last year while the spec c was in storage decided to go back to a classic and got the RA. The classic RA was great fun but the hawk Ra is in a different league. The classic was forgiving where the newage is just raw and needs driving hard to get the same sort of satisfaction.
I know the spec c Ra is not a run of the mill JDM, but I would always choose a newage JDM over a classic!

Sorry to bump this old thread but I've got a quick question and don't want to start a new thread.
Do they make Widetrack wagons? I'm looking at a 2005 PPP wagon and want to know if is a Widetrack like the saloon.
Cheers

I wouldn't get too caught up on wide tracks, yes they are the best of the new ages but they come at a premium and most wouldn't notice the difference or use the dccd very much if at all.
