What to do? (STi or Legacy turbo purchase?)
Hey Guys, Im new to this form I just need some opinons on this. Im buying a 05 sti white gold rims for $31,115 is the price ok? Already put a preorder payment down. I asked for some freebees but thay don't want to give me any thing for free.

Know beforehand that the STi is not for everyone. As a daily driver, the suspension is harsh on less-than-smooth roads and the OEM tires are very noisy compared with the WRX. One local STi owner reports that even after bedding in of the factory pads that come with the Brembo kit, the brakes squeak quite a bit. It's a far different car than the Legacy.

If 'sprited driving' is part of your lifestyle, get the STI.
If 'spirited driving' is rare but you still would like some power,
handling, and comfort......get the Legacy Turbo.
Comfort level on the STI is very much like a race car.
Find out what your needs are, and then make a decision.
Good luck

I was just thinkng of the legacy as an opition because i think it looks hot and my girlfriend and some of my friends think i'll kill my self or get alot more tickets i already have in a sti because im kinda of a speed freak.

If traffic tickets are a regular occurance, please be careful in an STi. The car has power and handling that go way beyond anything you can ever, ever use on a public street. It's as fast as a lot of exotics, so just remember: you can go from zero to felony (or body bag) in less time than you can count to ten.

0 to 60 in 5.8 sec. for the 05 GT Wagon. With the ride and room for all your stuff. You still have time to test drive the 05 GT before you pick up your STI. If your under 30 y/o you may want to stay with the STI.
I'm sure it will be easy to make the GT wagon into a 300HP ride with out to much hassle. I plan to get the GT Wagon with STI short throw shifter, to replace my 00 GT wagon. But I'm way over 30 y/o. I use mine mainly for winter driving, some day I may even buy snow tires.
