FYI this guy lives in Tamworth, which is in NSW.

Unless he doesn't care if he purchases from W.A.

Would recommend checking rexnet aswell.

I love all the comments about how New STI's aren't as good as pre 2007.. shit somebody tell Subaru that they're wasting their time with anything new and to go back to making 9+ year old designs.

I would go the other way and get an Evo 8MR or even Evo 9 as they are AUDM and insurance would be cheaper etc

add another $1200-1500 for the 100,000km service unless it's already been done.

No. But you already knew that

Bigger breaks are fine but don't add to the usual "numbers" people love to quote about "performance" and "speed" etc etc

The 6 speed gear box worries me personally. Few people mentioned they have a nasty habit of going bang but that could be on a specific model.

You have the win on the DCCD. No denying that. Further, I felt the entire interior had a nicer class to it.

Justifying the $$ for the above, I couldn't. Would love to be rich n go yeah whatever, not the case. Not going to lie, little jealous though.

Do some more research and actually listen to people...

5 speeds go bang... 6 speeds are bullet proof

STi for the little bit extra money. Get it checked by a reputable workshop, skids...

But please, do more research and actually listen to people...

Like Mitch, he got a wrx first, tried to mod it, gave up, bought STi....

My thoughts...

Ps, love you Mitch
