Default Undecided?!?!?! on which WRX

hey ppls i have a pretty much stock wrx my00 engine wise. i have about $7000 that i would like to go towards a car. now im undecided whether

1) keep the my00 and put the money towards that on mods

or

2) or sell the my00 and put the rest of the $7000 on top and buy myself a very stock wrx my03 my04.

i kno obviously that the newer rexs(my03-04) r better coz there newer but id like to kno how much better they r performance wise eg(handling etc) and also comfort wise for eg smoothness. I love my rex atm but gota keep in mind its almost 7 yrs old.

any thoughts appreciated. thanks

RICK

new is always better.

yeh I would have to agree you wont get your money back on the mods and with the 03/04 you will have a newer car which is always nicer in my opinion. Also go testdrive one and see what u think.

there is only 1 reason for you to keep or buy the GC8, thats if you really really really like that shape.

If it was me I would spend the money on the car you have now. Not on looks, but on performance. Partly because I rather the look of the GC's to any of the newer models. Your not going to get a car thats any faster if you upgrade (in stock trim that is) and I'd rather spend the money making my car perform better. If your smart about how you do it 7k can make a reasonable difference to your car.

if i was in the same situ i'd jump on a my03/04, put the 05 front on it, and be happy. sure they are heavier, but have a better tuned chassis and cost less to insure!
