Simple question, is the STI worth the extra £5K?

Or get a WRX with a PPP fitted, about the same as an STI.

Beat up the dealer on price and get an STI for £23.5K!! - i Did

You'll be kicking yourself if you want the looks of an STI but settle for a WRX. Plus it would cost alot more than 23.5K to bolt on all the toys. I had to have an STI for the stearing wheel, seats, 6 speed box and of course, that huge spoiler, instead of the ironing board you get on the WRX. Plus you can get an STI PPP'd and have 300 horses under your right foot.....

All the Best

Dave

STi if you can afford PPP and a Prodrive Spring kit and you won't be botherred about a few less MPG.

WRX with PPP if you want a cheaper alrounder that's nearly as good - but got to admit it's not the Daddy like the STi, but great if you do lots of miles but still want the scoob grin factor and a not quite empty wallet!
