Buying Advice
Hi all ! I am very interested in buying STI v5. What i want to know is honestly how reliable are they ? Whenever i look through adverts in auto trader etc there is always a few boasting recent engine rebuilds some at only 30k is this the norm. I just want some honest feedback weather i'm likely to expect a rebuild I take care of my cars with regards to sevicing and turbo cool down etc but i drive em like they're meant to be drivin, hard !

ITS NOW STOOD ME IN AT £32485. AN EVO HAS A LOT STRONGER ENGINE BUT ITS UP TO YOU AS TO WHICH WAY YOU CHOOSE. IF YOU DRIVE IT HARD THEN YES ITS GONNA COST YOU A LOT OF MONEY!!! I WONT SELL MINE NOW BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON MODIFYING IT!! EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT I HAVE A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE CAUSE OFF THE POWER NOISE LOOKS AND THE BUZZ !!!!!!
