Talking

Bound to get flamed about this, so please treat as IMHO

STI 5

<B>Pros</B>
Faster
Easier to get more power
More equipment
Available in different colours
<B>Cons</B>
No Subaru Warranty
Less compliant ride than UK version
Need to take to a reputable garage to get serviced
Needs 97 RON to run
Some Parts hard to come by(Sometimes have to bought in from Japan.)

RB5
<B>Pro's</B>
In the real world, as just about as quick as a STI
More comfortable ride
Easier to get serviced
Holds it's value better
Can Use Normal unleaded, at a push, but with reduced power.
<B>Cons</B>
Less equipment
Slower
'Harder to 'tune' for more power
Only available in grey

As in most things, it's down to personal choice. Try both and then choose.
