Should I replace my 370z with an STI?

Easy answer there but,the only thing I don't care for on the Subaru STI is the park bench in the clouds high spoiler. Overall if you look at the facts the Subaru STI is a reliable/dependable vehicle just like the Nissan 370Z is. In my experience the Nissan 370Z is not only the best vehicle I ever owned and it is reliable/dependable too you just have to do all the maintenance on them on time just like you would any other vehicle.

Except it's not. The current Sti has a nasty habit of cracking ringlands. To comply with emissions regs, Subaru programmed in a nasty lean spot on spoolup, where they should have been going richer. If you're willing to reflash the ecu in the parking lot of the dealer before you drive it home, you'll be fine - except you just voided the warranty before you know if you got a lemon.

From my personal experiences. GTI / Golf R > STi.

The VW is way cheaper to mod, more capable than STi (performance wise), and is a hatchback!

They're nothing to laugh at though. DSG shifts insanely fast. Plus you only have to spend 1/3 of the money on the GTI that you would have to spend on an STi to make it "fast".

A MK7 with downpipe, intake and tune will make higher numbers than a STi with full bolt ons on a stock block.

Those little buggers are crazy.
