WRX is the diet coke of the STI..

by the way, they are very highly priced.

Lol.. really this is down to budget now.. but you'll be kicking yourself once you realise "oh I wish I had a six speed!!! Oh I need a bigger turbo/intercooler. .. I need brembos... wah wah wah". Nek minute 10+k to make your WRX as good as a stock STI. don't say we didn't warn you lol.

I like my leather seats in the CLUB SPEC, they were a nice option to have

...not red leather though that's just terrible

The Mazda is spot on, fabric down the center and leather on the bolsters/supports.

If you like sliding on hard leather then yes the club spec leather is nice.

The seats in the ClubSpec were great you didn't slide around in them thanks to the shape/supports.

My old mans EVO X has leather Recaro's... the bolster make it impossible to slide around and to get in/out of gracefully

Have to disagree leather looks good but I slide around everywhere and there's not as much head room in the non sti's either. I am a fair bit bigger then you but Dan.

Leather is for Luxobarge spec ... Tracking the barge takes great effort to reduce lateral movements during cornering.
