STi or ....?

So i guess the STi comes in white so I"m down but i've heard and read so much info about subarus' paint and drivtrain not being par. and the dealerships vague warranty info. are there any other cars maybe AWD and turbo that i should check out. And NO i dont want a mitsu! Maybe i'll have to get a camaro or sumthin cuz i know there fast... Good ol' chevy. oh yea and NO fords or dodges either. I'm stuck. NE1 have problems with the warranty or should i just stick with my origanal STi...???

ONE thing, dont modd a subaru until after the warrenty expires. and My experience with dealers is it all depends on the shop manager. some are really hard to deal with. The sti is a sure choice. the cars have next to no problems. subaru did build a good car. The porsche has a boxer design. How good is that car. Not the same engine, but the same design principles.

aside from the Evo, the STI doesn't have any direct competition in the $30K price range. And yeah, the paint job is thin and weak, (at least on my blue WRX), and gets chipped and dinged to all hell real fast.

Maybe the S4 is an option? But that is more $$$.

Europe is getting the MPS Mazda 6. AWD with 280 hp from a turbo 4. Maybe that will come to the US. If so it won't be for another year. (I doubt it will come but who knows...I guess it depends on the success of the EVO and STi).

you can get a pre certified s4 for 30k. My attorney enjoys his.

The S4 has a lot of potential. It could get around 420-450 hp.
Lots of money (at least IMO) required though.

If you are willing to pick a Camaro over an EVO, then you're probably ill-suited for the STi as well.

I would suggest you stick with the good 'ol chevay...

I sat in a F-body Camaro once at a dealership . Moved the seat back and it fell off the rails... Talk about reliability

I like the Audi TT. A bit more money, but AWD and turbo. Next year they will have a V6 too. Wuhoo.

not that Im really interested in anything else, (I've got a Sti on order), but if the STi wasn't available, I'd consider a mid 90's 911 turbo or the new Focus RS

Are we going to get the Focus RS?
I thought that was a strictly European model.

The Saab 9-2, which is to debut in about a year and a half's time and is based off the WRX, is rumored to have 300hp from the 2.0L turbo. Should be a very interesting car.
