370 to STI or STI to 370
 

Just looking for some feedback about real life driving differences... I'm contemplating the jump as I could use the space of the hatch...

I know the STI isn't a true "sports car" but it appears to be fun, and have a much larger after market available.

Just looking for some things that made you change one way or the other, I'm not looking to start a **** fight...I've done my research got the basic differences down... just wondering personal opinions on it from those who have made the jump.

Despite having 4 doors, its still pretty nimble. The handling is ridiculous, the low end torque is insane, modding it with simple bolt ons increases horsepower easy.

The boxer sounds dope

I don't think it looks as nice as the Z's lines, but still looks great for a hatchback.

Stock vs stock i like the z better for the overall package, but you can't go wrong. I had an 05 sti which i loved, but sold for reasons. I enjoyed every bit of that car. Oh and i love the clutch response and feel of the subarus.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Sorry mods! Thanks for moving my post!

I feel the only car I would compare to the STi would be the Evo and vise versa. The Z I feel has 1 up on the STi. Not in the performance sense but rather in the overall car. Z is 100% built with more quality from interior to exterior. Z is significantly more rare than a STi, and not to mention it looks better and attracts quite a bit of attention. Nowadays the WRX looks just like a STi and there are so many of them.
The STi is a fun and great car also, if I needed a AWD 4 door sporty car I would definitely get it. If you don't need AWD or 4 doors go for the Z, it won't disappoint.

i totally agree in the evo vs sti comment.

I checked one out again today, ive looked at them over the years (06, 08, 10)
always disappointed by the interior, but i still want to try it try it... not just drive it for 5 minutes.

IDK i see them but i wouldn't mind blending in.... for once.

My big reason is, interior space and a back seat, neither of which i need full time, but would be nice to have, when i do need it.

idk...

It seems to me there is a mutual respect among Subaru WRX/STI drivers and Nissan Z drivers... like a mutual attraction for eachother's cars.

If your reason is more space inside and a back seat, then a Sti would definitely be functional.

A Z has some space underneath the hatch if you just need a little bit of room.

You could look at a used Boxster, too. There's actually pretty good storage space in front of the driver under the 'hood'. It seems the engine is kind of hard to get to though..

There is a lot of good input. Thanks! I now just have to find the one. And get back from overseas. but this will all keep me entertained till then.

Don't remember where I see this video, the guy don't even know the engine size of the car his driving. He Sucks!!!
