2005 WRX STi or 2009 WRX Non STi
Hello,
I'm back again and this time it'll be my 4th WRX and 5th Subaru including my old Legacy GT. Simply drawn in my the sexy exhaust note, practical 4 doors "got a family" and fantastic performance that the WRX's offer. Now as the title says I'm looking at either a 2005 WRX STi or a 2009 WRX. Technically they offer almost exactly the same performance. 2005 STi Power = 195kW@6000rpm Torque = 343Nm Weight = 1475 kg Power to Weight ratio = 132.2W/kg Acceleration 0 - 100km/h = 5.5s 2009 WRX Power = 195kW@6000rpm Torque = 343Nm Weight = 1410 kg Power to Weight ratio = 138.3W/kg Acceleration 0 - 100km/h = 5.3s Both would set me back between $20 - $30k depending on condition/mods etc. Am I missing anything? Is there any good reason why I should get the STi or just go straight to the 2009 WRX? This seems to be a great buy for a non STi WRX. *Yes STi's do have nicer brakes. I've even seen the 2009's going for around $22k on Gumtree.
