go with the wrx
you wont regret it

you will regret a wrx, unless sti.

^ definately not true
you can make the same power out of a wrx with minor work if that is what you want
and the wrx's suspension is less bone-jarring as a daily driver / fun car
the only thing wrong with the wrx is the stock tires which are crap

^^agreed ... I think Scottyc just has serious beef with the WRX... The wrx is not "impressive", but it doesn't necessarily suck.
^transmission problems only occur if you are a the sux0rz at driving. Like I said in an earlier post, I have 32K on my car and zero transmission problems.

Stock (170whp)
Stage 2 (225whp): Turboback exhaust, Accessport = $1500
Take into account that the STi only dyno's at around 235whp



Currently I'm running Turboback, Uppipe, and Accessport EM.

well if you could keep the warranty if you modded it with MOPAR stuff, it would prob be worth it. i can't imagine they'd let you do all that much to it--even with their parts--and it not void the warranty. maybe i'm wrong, though.

but MOPAR doesn't have anything to fix FWD.
