Default I fancy new age STI

as the title states I want a new shape WRX STI, should I go Import or dealer ? my last 3 Evo's have been imports the last car a MR VIII that I swapped for a "grown up" 535d M sport chopped in for a 325i coupe with all the toys.....it's boring TBH, these new age Imprezas keep popping up in my head. Any opinions?

Hi mate. By chance have you got the red evo? it was on banks road in westkirby today? Any way back to your question. At the moment ive got a classic, funny enough looking to go the other way and get an evo6. The last impreza i had was a blob sti ppp which was a uk. Ive heard the imports have a better spec, i.e twin scroll turbo. Depending on your insurance i would go for the import. How come your getting rid of the evo?

Regards Dan

Well the EU high spec imports appear to be better value for money than the current dealer UK (low spec)cars

i tend to agree with you on that.

I thought that the EU/UK steering felt a bit light to me, the JDM has a quicker rack and prefered the feedback feel. Engine also seemed more responsive.

IMHO
