Should I replace my 370z with an STI?

Raeshlavik · 07-05-2017, 10:03 PM

Hot-rod Subarus are like the Colorado state car, so you can't more more than about a hundred yards without seeing one, in blue, with some go-fast red letters on 'em.

One of the reasons I don't own one.

I think this thread is done. He traded the Z in.

bimbimbop · 07-05-2017, 11:51 PM

well considering he came on for 2 days to rant ... i just dont know what he really thought was going to happen..did he think a forum of Z fans would jump and say YES do it?

DamnThatZGuy · 07-06-2017, 09:46 AM

I want to know his after thoughts.

the sti is such a downgrade car

DeliriousClam · 07-06-2017, 05:40 PM

I wonder if he got a complimentary vape with the trade

STI limited with the huge wing delete is on my shortlist of sedans to replace the Z. I loved my Z but I'm looking to consolidate cars for awhile so it had to go. Never thought I'd be the guy saying I want the rear seat/second set of doors but after having a kid and never having time for the Z anymore, here I am.

My biggest concern with the STI is it still seems to have ringland issues when stock. A tune seems to resolve the problem but then voids your warranty. Lose/Lose almost.

No, you should not get an STi, as a matter of fact in my field of work a lot of people really try to avoid getting them.

Your Z looks much better than the STI.

Simply put, both cars are nice but if I was looking at AWD - I would at least test drive a RS or a Golf R. Simply put, both of those cars have more advantages than the STI. Don't get me wrong, the STI is nice but I were looking at a Subie, I would consider the WRX and tune it rather than go with a STI - the WRX has the newer and 'better' engine whereas the current STI has the same engine as the previous models. Probably could mod a WRX for much cheaper than a STI...just my .02

Really love my friends WRX, She makes me want an Sti everytime i get into it. Wish the Z was more practical sometimes.

Bad pics, Will have to get some good ones
