Might possibly be selling my car and getting a new WRX.
My car only has 14k miles but the imprezas are one of my favorite cars of all time and I just have to have one.

 

how much are you going to spend on the new WRX you think?

Also will you be converting your tC to stock before sale to try to get max money out of it? and parting out the aftermarket stuff? I may be interested in some of the parts depending on what they are.

I do not know much about the WRX - is it a turbo'd car? and is its engine the same one from the STI? (just a smaller turbo)

tbh i was interested in a WRX too (along side mazdaspeed3) but had concerns about those two not being as reliable as Toyota. What is your opinion?

 

They're around 26-30k depending on which one you want. And yes same engine as sti just a smaller turbo. It's a 2.5 turbo. 268 HP and it's AWD. And I've thought about it.
I have smoked spec D taillights. Injen CAI / SRI. tsudo s2 catback that's about all in willing to sell off of it.

 

depending on your price I am interested in the Injen CAI/SRI

Thats also one of the reasons i didnt go with a WRX, affording it always helps LOL
But i am glad that it has the same engine and has some sort of turbo as stock. hypothetically if you were to buy a WRX as a project car, you can save some money by not buying an STI since you'd be working with a very similar platform. just ideas i am thinking about for when i can afford a second car.

 

How much for the Tsudo if you decided to trade your car?

 

How much for the tail lights?

 

I'll PM you if I trade it in. I'm gonna try to sell on the car for now.

 

Actually no, it is not the same engine as the STI. It has weaker internals and it has a 5-speed that is only good for about 350whp. Just thought I would clarify that.

 

How can we prove that the new WRX engine doesnt have as strong internals? especially if they used the same engine type and size.
the WRX also has a 6 speed manual trans...

 

The op said 2014, not 2015.

 

did they change it that much from 2014 to 2015?

 

Have you not seen the new WRX? The specifications haven't even been released yet. And to answer your question, yes.

 

if the body shape is different then that's not the one i am talking about. i went on the 2014 website and their is a 6speed WRX so i dont think it is much different from STI now.

 

No there isn't, you are referring to the STI. Please, don't argue about something you know very little about.

 

All (3) 2014 WRX models are only available in 5 speed manual gearbox.

Both 2014 WRX STI models are only available in 6 speed manual gearbox.

Cluttering this guys thread with nonsense....

 

Yeah idk what i am talking about. I was really hoping they would be the same.
And this is not nonsense, the OP thought the same thing. We are trying to show the correct information about the STI and WRX differences so that we all know.

 

Buddy, you started the trans debate with someone who obviously knew more about the cars then you. Not to mention you're the one with 100 questions about a car you aren't even buying! The OP mentioned an engine and turbo. Hence why you're cluttering with nonsense. I think it just bothers me because you post questions on these boards but then talk like you're the authority on something just a few lines down. We're all hear to learn and have a good time.

To the OP, good luck with the WRX. Personally, I love them but the dime a dozen factor where I'm from deterred me. Needed something with a little more exclusivity.

 

WRX is a great car. It's on my bucket list.

 

Don't worry about that guys. Forums are meant for conversation.

 

The differences between a WRX and an STI are far greater than just the turbo. Different turbo and intercooler, exhaust, different internals, different transmission (I know you guys realized that). The STI also has far better suspension and brakes and also has adjustable differentials and the sedan has a functional wing.

The reality is, if you just want a fast and functional daily driver with good upgrade potential, you get a WRX. It is all the car you will need for the public roads. If you plan to actually track the car, you want the STI.
