16' wrx limited
16' wrx sti limited

the reason i ask is because the sti is a superior car, but the wrx has direct injection with lower rpm torque, still plenty quick, i like the 18's on the limited better, and the softer ride due to middle aged j-arse.. and the clutch is softer on the wrx and my left ankle will appreciate dat.

im wondering if i bought the wrx, i would kick myself later for not getting the sti..
Everyone I know prefers the WRX over the STI. It's technically quicker, and offers more creature comforts than the STI. Add a BBK later on in life and it'll be a glorified STI without the coffee table spoiler. A simple Cobb tune and some springs will have it at power and cornering abilities equal to a STI. And like you said. The clutch is way more forgiving and fun to play with than the heavy and clunky STI variety.

thanks, ive been really toying the idea for the wrx especially since they are still coming in with the JF1 serial numbers (assembled in japan).

the only reason why i would need to get the sti-limited vs standard sti would be to rid dat ricor wing. i hate dat hugearse wing.

and while the sti has a much more intense drivetrain with the 3 lsd's and programmable center diff, i think the dynamic vectoring on the wrx will be plenty for street use? i dont plan on rallying anywhere.. and honestly i will probably just run the car stock.

the wrx limited's interior is nice enough for me with the leather seats. i would just add the nav maybe. $32k or something..

You'd be correct. The dynamic vectoring on the WRX would get you to point A/B without such a harsh riding quality like the STI. For example take the Nismo Z vs the touring. One is raw and meant for the track. The other can be used for daily purposes with creature comforts.

The 40 extra HP in the STi is negligable. I've yet to see any of my buddies 4 WRX's get stuck, slide, or slip through heavy snowfall on stock all-season tires. I have seen a STI take a few moments to get going because of the 3 LSD thing. Pros and Cons to both. But don't just assume the highest trim is better than the middle. For you, personally. I'd go WRX. Especially with your ankle.

so for sedans here are my choices.. (good / bad)

'16 accord sport 6MT (appearance / ordinary)
'16 wrx limited 6MT (quick / exterior appearance)
'16 wrx sti limited (quick / stiff)
'16 is350 f-sport (appearance / no MT)

at my age, the lexus is more me, but then again i want MT..and if going for dressup i still think my G35C is prettier than the is350's..

cool. yah, i mean the only reason why i didnt get the 09 370z nismo was for the appearance (not my thing) and extra weight vs power increase. the base with sport package were (still are?) out-performing the nismo's.

yah, the 0-60's ive seen on the wrx / sti are pretty similar.. i want the sti badge cause it's top of the line (good feeling), but then im a car guy and i have to go with the car, not so much the badging.

if wrx enthusiasts of today are dat excited about the wrx vs sti, im sure it is true.

Just for laughs. Why not a Volvo S60 Polestar?
Not a sedan, but Ford Focus RS?
Or an Audi S3/4?
