believe from 2011 all cars from 2001 fall into the higher tax , ie 04 wrx will be 300 for 12 months 04 sti will be 415 ish

 

Its actually gettin to the point were performance cars will soon be a thing of the past.

If you buy a new Nissan GTR today for example you are hit with a showroom tax of 1000.A new STI is 750.

On top ot that fuel prices are crazy and insurance prices are steep.

 

i had a wrx for 5 years an thrashed it everywhere not a problem at all (only tyres) .....then i got a v4 sti type r..... blown head gaskets twice in 2 months...

 

 

Well im paying £140 full comp insurance so yes i think its easy to live with i asked on a sti and they said £645 so i think i will stick to my m3 eater lolzzzzzzzzzzzzz now dig dat suckerzz!!!!

 

Try using the English language with some form of grammar/punctuation, then we all might start to make sense of what you are saying.

You can quote me as well if you like...

 

Is someone actually going to ban this tool?

 

I reported him earlier, hopefully a nice mod will be along shortly to give him a dry slap.

 

dj jon dont WORRY i reported you too so i hope u get a really wet slap

 

scooby L plate boy reported u too SO do worry

 

I received a rather lurid PM from him earlier, it is a pity that he cannot even be bothered to spell properly when he is abusing me, even if he is trying to show how 'hard' he is...

 

I've always enjoyed the WRXs (particularly when fitted with PPP) for their good spread of power at lower revs and more comfortable ride. While I love Subarus and Imprezas in particular, I can't stand spoilers, big alloys and loud exhausts.
For every day transport I would go with the advice above and target an early Hawk 2.5 WRX, leave it as it is and enjoy.

As a toy, however, get whatever floats yer boat!

 

To be honest i havent considered the hawks because of the high tax. But an early one will miss the high tax band, is this correct?

Concerning the WRX, Im more inclined to go for one of those (with PPP) as i find the STI abit lairy for my taste. (no offence to STI owners) As posts suggest that its easier to live with day to day then i think its defo the one for me

Oh you lucky bugger, no cheeky PM's for me Maybe he is still reading his copy of Bluebirds, "How to troll an internet forum & not look like an ill educated spacker"

 

If your paying £140 fully comp then you must be really old and smell of pi55 and mothballs

 

After one page i gave up reading, most of those sti driver have only drove a sti so i am not sure how or why they keep posting up the same s***. A 06 wrx with PPP makes a very fast day to day road car great on motorway and back roads as it has longer gears than an sti. On a track there would be no contest but on a normal road the light wrx ppp would have no issues keeping with a sti.

 

I have owned an 02WRX, 03STI, RB5 and now 04STI so I think I am qualified to comment. It's not s*** it's opinion and facts.
I am a hardened Subaru fan and embarrassingly for me, I do like big spoilers, loud exhausts etc etc but even mods on the WRX put me off that model and I knew I had made a mistake after only a couple of months of ownership. After 6 months I sold it for the STI which I had for 2 yrs.

STI is lairy and can be frantic and thats what I like, however the O.P may be satisfied with the WRX. Each to their own.

 

Oh if only I'd bought the Porsche Boxter not the 911

+1 Bob, owned and driven my fair share of classics and newage in STi and WRX form. Nothing wrong with the WRX at all, BUT the whole point of the STi IS that it is better out the box from a performance car point of view. It's given the power from the off with the equipment to make the most of it. Sticking with the OP's original question a 2.0 WRX is a world away from it's STi big brother even with the PPP it's not the same 2.5's the distinction is less so, but you would still be crazy given the choice to opt for the WRX OVER the STi.

 

I'm feeling the love (I got a pm from baby tool...)

"ye wat u sayin u wee tool"

Class... He's prob at school now catching up on his late 1+1 homework..bless

 

i am talking about the 2.5 wrx not the 2 wrx. verry different cars.

 

The WRX has always felt "to soft", whenever I've had one as a courtesy car when my STI was in for service....the STI feels tighter..but that was my impression.... the STI just feels more focused if you're wanting driver involvement... where as the WRX feels like a rapid family car...which is great if that's what you want.

 

ljf lol no im 39 and all u guys saying i need to spell ffs its not a exam im doing here its a stuid arguement about a wrx or sti really i dont give a fukk so plz all u get a life or a job ffs im away
