Don't forget to buy a nice vape if you get the WRX.

One is a sedan the other is a two seat coupe

i dont really see how they're comparable

also, they're still using that 2.5L turbo-4 that blows up from rod knock even stock

I do like it, but since I will see 30 on my short way to work everyday, I will go with something a lot less common here in Colorado. Say an Audi RS-Something or an AWD Supra?

Looks good though!

That's the STi. The base WRX uses the FA20, and it's holding up pretty well. The 2.5 is fine if you flash the ecu pretty much immediately after buying. There's a lean spot on spool up to meet emission regs, and it kills that motor fast. Get a good tune on it and it's pretty solid.

dat new front looks a bit too plasticy for me (kinda like a honda fit front), but da sti's new 19's look nice. i hear they're supposed to include carplay on that gen so dat's kinda cool.

They ripped off the S3 headlights and the Macan's lower bumper grills and the rear end of a Mercury something. Plus the grill is a bit Focus RS.
