Default Whats an STI got over a WRX

Picking up my MY03 STI Type UK this Friday and can't wait.
I have owned an MY02 bug for the last year and am wondering what the key differences are between the two cars cars, power being the obvious one.

Nik.
About 40bhp, extra gear, inverted struts, stronger internals, gold wheels, bigger rear spoiler, no fogs just covers, pink badges, blue alcantara seats, rev limit buzzer, quicker steering rack, Brembo brakes to name a few.

Insurance cheaper than my WRX.
Declaring the exhaust, sti spoiler and morrette headlights pushed my premuim right up. STI premium 545 which i can live with.

Hi Mike

I think I could have bought a small African country and installed myself as a dictator for the money you have lavished on your bugeye.....LOL

I still think that for a reasonable cost a standard cheapo WRX bugeye can be morphed into a STi killer

Did you see "life on Mars" tonight.... class !!#

Cheers

Lavished/wasted, it's a thin line

I feel it's "best" IMVHO to go for the STi cos you're only going to spend the money anyway....and then some, ad nausea
