right what would you guys go for, a new wrx with leather and a roof and a ppp, or a standard sti, both about the same money.

I'd love to get my grubby paws on an STi but the PPP'd WRX sound tempting too.......Not much help from me then........i'll just get off the fence.

Cool

Leather seats in the scoob are as much use as a chocolate teapot IMHO if u r going to "drive" the car I know a few peebs who had them & ended up replacing them with fabric seats.

Sayin that though no matter which 1 i went for I`d definately make sure it had a roof

If you have the money STi, at least it is quick out the box and has big brakes, body kit, nice interior etc. WRX is nice but a different animal, if you fly by the seat of your pants then there can be only one

They are different beasts for different circumstances/drivers.

The STi has more potential, as it's got uprated suspension, decent brakes, uprated engine components etc.

If I was on a budget, then I'd get the basic WRX with PPP, and wouldn't bother with leather or the sunroof (no need if you have air-con, and generally more hassle than it's limited benefit). I'd far rather spend the money on fitting better brakes (the 4 pots are marginal on the standard car, let alone one with PPP), fit the WR Sport lowering springs and "sportier" tyres, possibly with nicer alloys if budget allowed.
