Hey guys! I'm a newbie & i need some decisions badly. My currently car is a 03 330ci which ive owned for just over 4 months & i'm really interested in gettin the upcoming STI.. If i decided to get the STI then i have to trade my bimmer in & pro add cash on top of it since i live in canada, msrp for STI would pro be around the same as the 330ci. I'll be losing some $$ in this trade thought, the question is should i do it or not?? I love the performance of the STI but i also love the prestige of BMW.. Ive driven a 98 talon with turbo/intercooler upgrades in the past & i simply fall in love wif turbo power.. thx everyone..!

Re: Im not quite sure what STI you guys are talking about

But i smoked one the other day.. I have an E46 M3.. and i left that bastage so far behind he couldnt read my license plate.. Which coincidentally says "CATCH M3".

Yes it may have AWD and yes it can trek thru the snow.. but as far as looks.. Its a rice rocket Nice wing btw.. maybe with another turbo they can expect it to use a runway at JFK to take off.. Gold wheels? Classy.. reminds me of this..

Would you be caught dead in this thing?

Gold wheels are a staple for the WRX...from the real rally car. The STi is a new model...it's not out quite yet...it's a 300 hp/300lb/ft torque version of the regular WRX. It has Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, Coilovers, and BBS lightweight wheels stock, just to mention a few of the differences. The car is simply a beast...it should be in the mid to high 4 second 0-60 range and run 13s easily...but the car was designed for some serious rallying. It can hit 60 in low 5 seconds on GRAVEL.

It will be an amazing machine, sure to shock quite a few owners of fast cars...not just M cars.

The only thing on the Subaru that I like is the gold wheels with that blue paint. Looks nice on that car. Otherwise IMO it's pretty ugly. Don't get me wrong, it's fast, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's ugly. Even C/D (maybe it was MT, I don't rmember for sure) thinks so.

are you talking about the regular WRX or the STi in the picture that I posted earlier in the thread?

The headlights on all the Impreza's are being changed in 03/04

I have both a 325xi and wrx, they are both good performers, however thats where the similarity ends. Both cars are around the same age 2002 both purchased in 2001, the subaru has ben in the shop far more and has cost me more money to drive. It also has a far cheeper interior,cup holders broke off, carpet worn ect. The scooby is fun in the dirt, but it aint no bmw. if you want a toy for the dirt by the scooby, if you want a nice car keep the bmw, either way your butt should be warm.

I don't know how you guys could possible say the WRX is a good looking car. As far as the STi goes...I don't see anything different...they use the same design from what I've seen (besides some ground effects, front lip and stuff like that) as the WRX. Its just plain Fugly...I can't even argue with you guys that think it looks good...I don't see any creativity, any nice curves...nothing. I'm sorry...I just don't see it...I've tried...but I don't :dunno:

haha...I agree...As for your story...fine, STi can show up the M in performance, but the M3 wins in every other category...I would take an M3 ANY DAY over that little blue box...

I'll just take both.

And if you notice, the headlights aren't round anymore...more squared off and streamlined.
