I'd probably consider an STI... AWD plus stock turbo. Simple ecu tune and upgrading the turbo will put you at a really nice power output at the wheels.


I love the 370, don't get wrong but way out your options. I know I was considering an STI for those reasons. Especially NY driving with the crappy weather and messed up roads.

This doesn't even make sense lol. I have an auto 370 and I would NOT buy the nismo in auto.

6mt > turbo > vrooom.

I too had noticed this and did not want to start. Troll is a good term for him.
