Three Reasons Why Regular Subaru WRX Is Better Than STI
This guy has a point.
From the article:
Should you buy the Subaru WRX or the big brother STI? Is 2015 Subaru WRX STI better than the regular WRX? The 2015 Subaru STI features a 2.5L boxer four producing 305 horsepower while the 2015 Subaru WRX has a more modern 2.0L producing 268 horsepower and peak torque at a low 2,000 RPM.

Sounds like he's been reading my posts.
It's always been the case, with the Newage's anyway, WRX PPP is the daddy for a daily driver for all the reasons I have said over the years, now they are being reiterated by this guy, it's not fresh news to those of us that actually understand smaller turbos, early peak torque, longer ratios and lighter equals a quicker car in the real world, and the final kick in the teeth is it's better on fuel too.

Mines not a daily driver. It sits in my garage all week and I spend all week looking forward to using it at the weekend......because it's an STi. Would I look 'as' forward to opening that garage door on a Saturday morning and seeing a WRX staring back at me? No.

At the end of the day this whole WRX vs STI argument is always going to be subjective and based upon what you want / expect from your car.
The points made in the video are all valid and the same things I have said over and over on here, to the point that even I am bored of it.
At the end of the day we all pay our money and make our choices based on what we as individuals want/need, like / don't like and finances play a part too.
I'm happy with my purchase and have been for over 4yrs, it has a few enhancements so it's not exactly standard, but I have always been happy with the power and the way/where it delivers it. For me it's the perfect road car and does everything I need it to do.
If others aren't happy with theirs then that's fine by me, and maybe they should consider their next car a little more carefully.
