Default WR1 or STi??

Been to see a cpl of Sti's, one a PPP, the other modded up to c350bhp..but the more i look at the WR1, the more i wouldnt mind increasing my budget and taking a look. has anyone owned, bought, driven one? If so, how do they compare to a stock, prodrive or modded STi? is the extra cash outlay justified...im not too interested in the exclusivety of the badge, but they do seem to offer more performance, and style over a stock STi..any thoughts are welcomed.

I chose my05 sti jdm over either of them, depends what you want but if limited edition doesn't appeal to much then a uk or jdm my05 would be a better buy as lots of improvements made over my04 cars which is what the wr1 is based on

WR1 is an ice blue EUDM 04 blob with some bits,a 3 port and a re-map. They sell because its a limited edition but I'd go for the later wide track 05 UK or Jap

I'd follow the above advice and go JDM.

every day of the week a WR1, 340 out the shop, and limited edition so depreciates less over time.

they are all different, depends what you want, remember its a buyers market so you might not have to stretch that far for a 1, those that are eager to sell drop quick.

others are not so eager and hold out for the right buyer.
