Subaru WRX STI

RevoltTrain

I'm gonna be buying a Subaru WRX STI later this year. (Yeah, decided taking out some money from the bank to do it) But I'm having problems deciding what model to go with, I've narrowed it down to two different years. I need your help deciding as I love both models the same:

 

(It will be World Rally Blue with gold Work XD9s)

 

2004 Subaru WRX STI: 

 

 

2013 WRX STI 5-Door:

I would. But the WRX STI is my absolute dream car. With the way work is going I'll be able to pay off the loan within 4 years off of the money I don't need for other stuff. Which IMO is very worth it to me.

Even if you have to pay an extra 10%?

Yeah. It's my dream car. I'd be willing to pay an extra 15% if it came to that.

Why buy an 11 year old car? You're not a car collector are you?

Not really, but they are amazing cars, look beautiful, are really fast, and they are very reliable.

have you driven either of them? the 2004 will be more basic, less refined and less powerful, but on a twisty road i think the older car will feel much nicer. the newer 2013 is a bit fat and the interior still isn't very high quality, it does have a lot more sound damping and would be much nicer on longer drives. 

 

Why buy an 11 year old car? You're not a car collector are you?

because most 5-15 years old cars are miles better to drive than there current model.

Or like Rx7 or Supra or skyline or evo. Why specifically the impreza?

Those are all great cars. But I've always loved the WRX STI, not sure what it is, but the first time I saw one I absolutely fell in love with it. 

 

I'd get a Skyline but I'd want a R34, which are really hard to come buy in the states, the RX7 really isn't suited for tall people (I'm 6'3), and the Evo, well, The Evo is the STI's rival. Can't go about driving an Evo when I grew up loving the STI :D

Woah. That sticker-bomb. I really like that. I might do something like that for the accents on the one I pick up, like the mirrors and the spoiler.
