Why switch from a Z to an STI?

Fairly equal performance coupled with far more practicality?

That plus the additional power potential with mods and I wanted something with awd and boost. Plus I can take this to the mountains. The z was too much of a garage queen. I never enjoyed it because I was always worried about it. This car I'm actually going to USE.

As long as you are happy with your move. I still think its an expensive rental.

Haha! haters gonna hate. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how skewed or incorrect it may be.

Just messing around

Man everyone is trading or selling their z's

nuTinmuch · 12-31-2011, 07:17 PM

I've thought about getting a STI for the longest time.

My big holdup is the ringland issue. I'd only be taking it to stage 2, but... yeah, too worried about something shitty happening. =/

370zFORme!! · 12-31-2011, 07:19 PM

I look at it like this, if I have ringland issues, I'll just request a dealer buy back. My dealer told me this was an option.

/\ I know the 08s and some 09s had this prob but I was under the impression that for 2010+ it was resolved?

Nice car

Nope. 2011s have busted too.

I guess if you don't mod your car, this works, but like I said -- I'd probably mod mine. :/

hmmm, well that's disappointing. Well, isn't the next gen wrx/sti moving to the 2.0L motor in the BRZ? maybe the best move is to wait it out and see what comes in the next couple years.

Then again, if you are basically stock, it doesn't matter since you'll be covered under warrantee like you said.
