How is it compared to the Z?

If I was gonna get another hatchwagon, (actually miss my Mazdspeed3 a little... just a little) this is the way I'd go:

2009 Subaru Impreza Wagon WRX STI w/Silver Wheels/Nav - Washington D.C. Subaru dealer serving Bethesda Silver Spring Arlington Rockville

Fill the car up, $47.00 @ $3.35 a gl. Took it to Richmond to go G-KArting with the Z Club and got a "Gad Damn" rock chip in the middle of the windshield, damn freaking I-64. :mad:

I swear these cars are F*cking rocks magnets. :mad: :mad:

Cool! I want to replace my pos dd. Was always a fan of the sti hatch but a tad pricy for wat it is...the wrx hatch basically looks the same now and price is right! :tup: will do coilovers and some rotas and im done. :) want to go cheap on dd's but want more power than my Honda fit.

Luna- yah, I plan on keeping my Z so don't need a sti. I rarely wash my dd's and don't want to worry about it while parked so I don't want anything too special.

WRX makes a lot of sense for a DD. Insurance on an STI is terrible, more than double what it is for the WRX. With almost the same amount of power, the WRX was a no-brainer for me.

Different. Less of a sports car feel, and of course turbo power feels very different than NA. It's kind of odd-- the WRX feels more stable, but also more tossable. It has the go-kart feel, with a bit more stability. It's maybe a little slower than the Z at 10/10, but feels a lot quicker at 7-9/10ths. I miss having RWD sometimes in the WRX when I feel like goofing off, but AWD is a beast for most of the time.

I did nothing with my Z today. it is just standing there in the garage.

instead I drove around with the GT-R the entire day :yum:

launched it once

Damn dat launch controll, I was shivering from the pure power.

yah, insurance is a good point indeed. i should check on the comparison as well. yep, with a quick reflash and a little exhaust upgrade chances are you'll be going FASTER than a stock STI. :tup:

did you crash? :D

ofcourse not :roflpuke2: else I wouldn't be posting now would I.

oh wait I get it....launch controll = VDC off.

Today ima do nothing with the Z. im out in Naperville IL and the Z is in a garage in Atlanta.

:tup:

well its a AWD so it is less dangerous than the MURDEROUS VDC OFF Z.

I got my F.I. RTPs put on today....i wish it was louder...lol

Yep. You've still got the (relatively) fragile 5 speed transmission though.

I love adding power to stock turbo cars. The AP gains are outta control.

oh yah... is it any better than the 02 WRX's MT? I had one of those way back when... i had a Utec on it and other stuff. it was a FAST car. :D
