Buying a wrx but which one ?
 

So in the very near future im planning on making the move to the wrx, only question is which model. Originally my plan was to get an EVO 8 MR but due to insurance $$$$$$ being almost double a wrx.. decided against it. Previously i owned a 04 RS impreza. So im looking for atleast a slight change in model.. these are my options:

06-07 STI
08/09 STI
new 2012 wrx

I understand the 08/09 STI had a few issues (ringland failure and occasional blown motor) but this was only a small % of owners right ?

opinions appreciated

09 sti

Agree... 09 STI... Don't bother with a WRX, you will want the 6 speed, Brembo's, DCCD etc.

Agree with Mitch's post above.
Better to start with the fruits on the car already, rather than adding them one by one or as funds permit.

09 STI

06 STI, Looks way better! :P

06 STi Looks much better! But the 09 is newer...

I've got my 06 STI for sale, PM if interested in more info ;)

Does it specifically need to be an EVO 8? Because of them being import only jobbies, insurance will generally be a tit. There might be a pretty neat EVO 9 for sale soon....what budget you working with?

Buy my S204 ;)
