Always do comressipn test before buying a ej257

using the Perth-WRX mobile app

Ok, test drove as many cars as I could yesterday and today and decided on an STI. However the aggression on the older (MY05) is so good compared to the newer models (MY08). Is this due to the torque being curved on the newer models or did I just drive sh*tboxes?.

Will be getting pre inspects and compression tests done before purchase.
Hopefully will have one by the end of the week.
If anyone knows of any good ones to view let us know or advice

6 speed has a shorter gears ie you'll grab 3rd before a 100 where as I think you can just hit a 100 in a 5 speed.

The 2.0L also revs more freely then the 2.5 and has forged internals from factory.

My05/05 Sti is what you want.

Thanks for the link fable,
But out of my price range.

Just a heads up dont waste money on a compression test it will not tell you nothing about the stateof an engine.

A cylinder leak down test will give an accurate picture of the engines condition.

Are you sure?

Really. Thought the compression test was good enough. What does the leak down pick up that the compression test doesn't.
Don't know much about this so could be a stupid question.
