hi all its been a while,

I have a lill question, what is the difference between the new 06 uk WRX STI and one from Europe, what is the general thought of the new STI and how dose it drive compared to the classic??
any comments welcome.

thanks eddie.

When you say new STi, do you mean brand new or new age?

With the new age MY03 which I have they are pretty much identical, other than the alarm is different I think and the euro cars may not have the underseal.

How it drives compared to a classic you will need to try one and see what you think I guess. No point saying its better or worse as you may look for something different in a car than someone else does.

Hope this helps

Got splinters up your bum Gary . Unlike you to sit on the fence

I have a EU New Age and the differences are the alarm, no tracker, no locking wheel nuts and that's about it. There was some mention about Underseal, but mine has that, so i dont think that's an issue. Also the warranties. Check with IM for that, as i did first.

Most importers put the alarm and tracker on before you get the car anyway so you wouldnt notice the difference.

I have been in a few classics but not sure if any were standard so cant comment on handling etc Simo. Some people may like understeer, some may like oversteer. All I would say is the new age MY03 understeers when pushed hard.

For me, not interested in a 2.5, sort of detracts from the heritage, would consider the JDM 2.0 tho'

I was told they are mapped for a warmer climate and different fuel - is that likely to be true ?

MattW

Let me guess, was that a uk dealer who told you that

Yep!! (I thought so too!)
