WRX if you don't care about driving. STI if you do. Get the 08sti if you can. Comfortable and fast. DO IT!

People mod the WRX to get the same handling, power and ride of the STI. You may as well start from there instead.

08 sti has dual avcs, bigger tmic, bigger turbo, 18inch wheel, 245 tyre, more efficient stock air box and si drive (multi map). Most g3 sti can get 280whp just with tbe, 300 with cai, boost solinoid and 22psi. If u push more than 300whp, con rods will be a issue, but again 07 sti is probably good for 320ish(at that time u will need headers, turbo and top mount for about $4k), then u will be looking for rebuild engine at that stage anyway. but it is more reliable if u like to thresh from cold or hit red line all the time.
My advice get g3 sti, do a compression test before handing over ur hard owned cash. If everything is good, buy it, install aos, change all fluids, ie redline engine oil/power steering fluid, motul gear 300/rbf 600. Maybe get oil pressure gauge and boost gauge, thresh the car after oil is warm, as water temp is not oil temp. using the Perth-WRX mobile app

Buying an 08 sti is way too risky. Avoid. MY10 STi if you can find one.
If not, just drive both and see which you prefer. Personally I would always go newer over older, STi or not. If I was in the market, I would be looking at a MY11.

just don't get an 08 wrx, it doesn't have the wide body. It increases the performance drastically.

That's why I always recommend compression test before buying betty. And change all fluid asap.
Ps: if u can afford my11+, go for it. On a budget my08 is not a bad idea. using the Perth-WRX mobile app
