I have an 09 wrx sedan. Its a fast car in a straight line but the handling was quite sloppy until you do some handling mods. I have only put in coilovers in for now and that has made it a lot more enjoyable. The brakes will definitely need upgrading if you're going to do any track work whatsoever. Not that i have done any but i have felt it fade just from going to the pwrx CM cruise.

IMO, go the sti. Don't get me wrong, the wrx is a nice car for a daily driver until you splash some coin on it of course.

How hard were you driving between meet points?!

[QUOTE=American Dave;783109]Its going to be 2014 tomorrow and if a used MY08 STI was going to suffer a ringland failure it would have happened by now I am betting.[/QUOTE]

I guess it depends on the kms done and how it has been driven. May not have been driven to failure yet. I get what you're saying but personally their history would be enough for me to shy away from one.

Was just trying to keep up with the Sti's out there. :P

Nah, no harder than anyone else that day. I started to feel it after the hill just before the 2nd meet point.

Yeh the brakes on the standard 09 wrx are absolute shite

Wow, did not realise they were that bad.

A lot of it comes down to pads and rotors.

That and at least DOT4 fluid, this should make a world of difference in a track / spirited driving scenario. Still not Brembo though :D

And an 05 STI will be 9 years old (and nearly 2 generations old)

Is this a members car?
