Just wondering why so many newage STi owners go back and buy a classic. From what I've heard the STi's are not as much fun to drive especially on short runs and the handling of the STI's does not need and driver input.
Let the talks begin.

Fortunately i own both and i have to agree there is that special something about the classic STi

I just have a Classic T2000 UK as my 1st Impreza and think it is such a good all round car. Have a family with 2 children and with it being a 4dr is just so practical I find. Also has performance to leave me very happy.

Everyone to thier own But my car is my only Car, It is the Family runaround, shopping, holidays and my Plaything

My first was a MY99UK PPP 21/2 years

I then bought a brand new 2002 STiUK PPP newage nearly 3 years

I then bought a MY99 STi Type R within 6 months it was for sale

I then bought a MY06 T20 11/2 years so far

Overall the best car I've owned is my present one but have loved all my scoobs but some more than others

IMHO it not good to go back in time, sometime the truth is not quite as good as the memories buying the Type R I realised why I bought the Bugeye


I'm not saying which is the better "Drivers" car or the better "looking" because we could argue this all day long. The Classic is getting dated now and Time to move on flame suit ready

I must agree. The newage feels more refined (which is not neceserally a good thing) and the classic is increasingly gaining a bad reputation. 'time to move on' was why I bought mine.

Edited: The running costs were also cheeper, both servicing and insurance.

Obviously everybodys got there own opinion. My first impreza was an L reg wrx import, superb car. But then the oppurtunity came up to get a newer one. So i bought an 03sti ppp. Went well, looked the part, owned for 6 months, now i want a classic again. Im looking at a uk turbo tomo morning so fingers crossed i will have a smile back on my face again.
