I would take an 08 JDM sti over an 05 JDM sti any day.

The only thing I dont like about the 08 AUS Spec Sti is the 257. Everything else would be better. The hatch is a personal choice...

Whats the wheelbase diamensions on the 08 sti? What is its track? Wonder if it has any different suspension geometry and different cams, ECU upgrades etc etc..

Track is bigger, wheelbase is longer, different suspension. Engine wise not sure on the EJ257, EJ207 is a cracker.

Subaru Australia would make a killing of a limited run of S205 / Spec C's with jap spec EJ207's.

Probably are:

I have read lots of reviews and for every negative one there is a positive one.

Petter Solburg had a lot to do with the cars development but what would he know.

Every car has good and bad points - it is always a compromise.

If this car doesn't suit your needs buy one that does (or mod the crap out of it).

For a car that you drive to work and home in, occasionally give it shit and occasionally track it'll meet my requirements for now.
