Just doing some thinking after I got my car serviced and walked around the lot. Fell in love with a VERY clean 08 Lightning Red Sti and the look of the Hatch is really growing on me.
Just would like to see if any other 06/07 owners ever thought about trading in their car for the new STi?

 

do it, theyre so much nicer

 

No, they look like Ford Focuses.

Try something different... save a little more and get a 135i. At least test drive something different before buying another STI. Your experience may vary...

 

Go for it!!! I just saw one on the road for the first time today and I was giddy. They look amazing and performance is up too!

No way! 07' FTMFW!!

 

I understand your point. I was going to see how the 335i felt like as well as the new gasp... EVO X
It's nice to have options available but I have a feeling I might stay w/Subaru
we'll see this tuesday

 

get the 09!

faster and still interior looks hella better and more comfortable than the 07's..

i just wish the exterior didn't look like something that came out of a person's ***!

 

09 should have push start, but nothing else in terms of performance or anything relatively important. probably wont get the recaros any time soon.

08 ftw

 

i meant over 07's lol

 

Yes! Or... No! Depending on what sort of car you want and what you want to do. Go for it! Or not! Woo!

 

135i's are bad ***. inline 6, twin turbo nice

 

the wide body on the 08 makes me feel funny in the pants... then the tail lights quickly make that feeling go away. i've seen smoked tails on an 08 though, and it makes them look a lot better

 

go for the 09 sti, they look nice and perform better

 

why would you? Is it really worth the money? Its not faster mite as well mod yours up with the money and smoke an 08.

 

Subaru revamped the whole motor in the new '08s. Motor is very different, and it's making power a lot easier. I know there's more, but I have seen hollow cams and a redone oilpan, iirc. I think on an extremely conservative tune, they're making over 300awhp on a catback and tune.

I love the fact that there's more room, although the tail end looks have suffered from it. It's really up to you and your financial situation. If it's only a few k more, I'd do it.
