An sti will be quicker standard, plus has more tuning potential.

The DC2 is meant to be great handling, but as good a type r sti?

Have you ever heard a DC2 with a performance exhaust?

I'd go for the sti personally 300bhp with a few mods but then I owned a sti for nearly 5 years so I am biased

depends how lucky and how deep your pokets are. if your lucky to find a clean sti2 or 3 your best bet buy from forums dont bother with ebay. as a lot of people can buy them but no everyone knows how to look after them. engine rebuilds will cost you a few grand atleast.

i have had 2 tegs and one subaru that i have owned for the best part of 3 years. tegs are amazing to drive the thrill you get from driving them is out of this world you 6k rpm and the engine note changes like touring car. a scooby with stage one and remap is amazing not much will get close to you on the road however reliabilty the teg wins everytime. whats quicker an sti 3 will hammer the teg around the track not much diffrence as the teg is the best handeling fwd you can buy.

if you got money buy a scoob if your on a budget buy a teg or even better go and test drive both that should help you make up your mind

You ask which car they prefer on a Subaru forum and expect an unbiased answer lol.

Both cars couldn't be more different from each other, fwd-awd, n/a-turbo etc etc.

Test drive both and make an informed decision on what will suit your needs best.

Cheers

Thanks for the replys. I know i was going to get a sort of biased opinion asking on a Subaru forum, but thought id ask anyway. Will have a think.....
