Subaru Impreza wrx or wrx sti?

[Car Sipatero]

Yeah i know about the 220hp vs 280hp, is it worth the wait and the money to buy the sti. The agent told me that it will come out this month or the next. The 1.7m(wrx) or the 2.2m(sti)? Pls enlighten me.

STI C-Spec

actually its 230hp vs 300hp kung 06-07 models. if you are going to bring it to the track or make it a track day car then the sti would be better but if you're just driving it on highways and cities then the wrx would be more than enough. i also read somewhere that the wrx is the more civilized one and better suited as a daily driver.

If I were to buy a Subaru I'd get the 320hp USDM STI Why? Because you want speed right di yon gray market lang meron. Subic converted pls value your life.

I think the thread starter is referring to brand new units from Motor Image Pilipinas (the official distirbutor of Subaru here in the PI).

The Impreza WRX is already more than enough for Philippine roads but if you have the money to burn - then go for the WRX STi.

[darnoc]

P2.2M for the STi at motorimage? i thought it was at P2.4M?

imo apart from the higher HP, the STi has so much more technology in it than the standard WRX but if you will find it difficult to appreciate those items then better get a standard model.

at the prices you mentioned there's that half a million price difference(money is money) if it's in the budget anyway may as well...

[yuichi]

your priorities?

if only for daily use= WRX
for something more exciting = STI

[niky]

Tama naman, if you're using it daily, the WRX is a better choice, lower fuel consumption, tamer ride... relatively... and it's still just as exciting to thread through traffic.

But: if you're itching for more power and more ability, be warned... it'll cost a lot of moolah to upgrade a regular WRX to STi grade, and it's not just a simple case of tweaking turbos.

If you eventually want the full STi experience, you might as well pony up to buy the STi.

for me, wrx or wrx sti will do but kung need for speed talaga you should visit this site: http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evoc...d_type_25.html

fully tweaked WRX STI spec c. its performance is at Porsche 911 numbers..

simple lang bro, if u had the "seeds" to play with just wait for the top of the line STi.. Ur 1 of the chosen few na makakakuha nun sa pinas! Its like choosing d likes of an evo, silvia, s2000 against the class s / top of the food chain (1k or more ponies capable n' willing) honda NSX, toyota supra or d japanese myth like nissan GTR. Pro if u have a bit of a tight budget just go for the WRX, it's a freaki'n good car as well.

[Car Sipatero]

I think im just gonna get the normal wrx bcoz i'll use it as an everyday car. Thanks for all the suggestions! The sti costs 2.2+80k insurance i think so mga 2.3m na.

[telecaster]

Spec C,type 25's,etc... isn't sold here so it doesn't matter. More likely its the USDM. I would opt for the Sti because it is 6 speed, more hp/tq, dccd, better suspension,brembos. Fuel efficiency is irrelevant between the WRX and the STi because force induction fuel economy is how cool you keep your right foot. STi also has the cruiser 6th gear for the highway. I like the 6th gear in my car, imagine 100 kph and just 2k rpm . You can use the STi as daily driver, my car is daily driven. Test drive both if you get the opportunity

[bad driver]

STI para di ka magsisi....

No such thing as too hard to drive on the streets.... unless you mod the hell out of it.

[ale828]

If you have the money the STI is the better choice. No contest for me there.
You can' thave enough power.

ser thread starter, ano choice mo?

btw, is it true that the upgrade kit for the WRX can make it more powerfull and faster(max 280kph) than the STI?...and is cheaper.

i don't think so kasi pano yung 6-speed transmission advantage ng STi. Replacing the whole transmission would surely be pricier.

Rode in a friend's STI recently and iba talga yung power nya compared sa WRX! But if you intend to bring passengers in your ride, you better warn them in advance cuz ramdam sobra every bump.

di ba pedeng baguhin shocks para lumambot? lalo kung hindi naman sya pang-track?

[eggman]

Mas ok ang WRX kaysa STI version,medyo di ok ang WRX STI rito dahil Euro-Asian version ang nandito hindi yung 300hp USDM...Oh well sulit naman ang WRX...
