Sti/m3

Hey everyone,

Well, I`ve come to a decision that leaves me with two car choices here and I could use some help. After, having my car rear ended in December of `06 I`ve been dreading a lot of legal junk and doctors for spinal injury. I`ve decided that I will have my car totaled and will buy a new car. My choices are a `04/`05 M3 or an 07STI. If I go w/ the BMW I`m looking at 9k miles at the most. Love the M3, but ever since I bought my 02 WRX I`ve been in love with Subaru. I totally appreciate your opinions.

M3 understeers alot more but is definitely more luxurious. STi less of a maintenance *****. Calm down I 've owned both.

the sti will cost less to modify, if that were something you were planning to do to your car.

Also Subaru is one of the top ten automakers
to hold their value over the years.

Luxury is usually what makes people lean towards M3. I'd say go STI, its sportier and funner to drive.
