Car Info: 2004 WRX in WR Blue

I have driven all the cars listed above and to tell you the truth, the G35 and the STi are the best of the 4. STi for its speed, quality, and best AWD sytem, and the G35 because of its looks, ride, and options. I think that the S4 is a great car, german, well made, but a bit pricy. The G35 might not be as quick, but It a beautiful car and a bit cheaper. I was most impressed with the G35 then any other new car I had test driven. Its simply an amazing deal. The STi speaks for itself. Just depends what you want...Luxury or speed. But I would limit them down to those two.

uhm, i've got 98K miles on my S4 now so i think i've racked up a good amount of miles. i'm sure some people have had different experiences, just like how some people have already blown up their STI motors or the problems people had with the E46 M3 engine.

i think you're going to hear more horror stories on the forums like this one cuz you have more people who mod their cars and drive them hard.

as for going the WRX route like a few people suggested, i think i'll look into that a bit more. the tuners have had a good amount of time to work things out and i'm sure there's a lot of good info out there on what does and doesn't work.

I guess u got lucky because I had and heard of many issues with these cars. Auto Tranny falls out on most of them.(my relative own a tranny shop so i talk to him) Electrical issues and so on.

So I always stayed away from these cars.
