Well u have a mildly modded wrx now don't you?

I suppose if you are happy with that level of performance, and you don't plan on tracking it much, then stick with a wrx?

Having said that, have you considered MY09/10 STI? I think they look much better than the MY11s...haven't seen the MY12 yet...

I had this same contemplation the other week.

My choice is to go with the newest WRX I can afford. for the mods I plan to do, I won't need an STI as a base. Also, I can't afford 65k +

Personally I wouldn't go for the ex demo, how do you treat a demo when you take it for a spin.

Or till like August this year when it gets released

Betty + steroids = MY11 wrx

Wonder if a low km second hand 09/10 sti hatch could be on the cards?

It maybe a moot point as I tend to think there maybe some delays in getting MY12 Subaru anything after the recent events in Japan.

If you are using the car for work then consider the lease option I reckon.
