thanks trbulnt for the great write up. how much more can it be then the g35 tho unless the subie has poor saftey features??? im 19 and love to drive agressivley andi love the g35 but its so dam expensive to make nice and the sti has alot of potential for not alot of money

 

Well the STi's reason for high insurance is due to all the young'ens that but them and drive aggressively. They are just profiled as a high risk vehicle. Best thing to do is to call your insurance provider with the vehicles VIN number and have them run the numbers for you.

 

Disregarding what the two cars are, the question really is whether or not this is a smart move for you to make. Only you can really be the judge of that..not a bunch of people on the internet. Can you 1.) financially afford this car. 2.) afford to modify your sole source of transportation that you and your family may be dependant on. 3.) Will it be a major distraction to you or will it not affect your ability to buy a house, potentially have children, etc.

A lot of the older (late 20's early 30's) membere here will prob say it would be wiser to save for a home, or focus on a career first, and a lot of the younger members here will say "F it, buy the car"

WHen i was 19...all i cared about was my car, so i won't preach to the choir.

But i gotta ask...married at 19? Damn, I could never do that.

 

ya i can afford the car main reason iwant it is the go fast parts are alot cheaper., and ya i know some say its crazy to b married at 19 but i love htis girl so much, and as far as a career i have a scholarship to go to mmi tech skool in orlando i jsut got get down there in like 6months, idk ima go see f any of the dealerships have one locally by me and test drive one who knows i may like it cuz its fast and handels great but i love my comfy g

 

First of all question was should he buy the car not what he should do with his own money in life.
Why didnt u just buy the sti to begin with?

Anyways i have a G but im so into performance than anything else that i would pick an STI or an EVO. If you want performance and want to have more fun driving just go with the STI. If you want to be comfortable, stay with your G. Although the STI does have a harsh suspension but your only 19, how much could it possibly bother your not a 40 year old guy yet who complains about every bump. Plus its was built to be a rally car, its wasnt built to be daily driven its a true race car so obviously comfort is probably the last thing they covered.. My best friend has an evo and i would take that car any day over the G, its just so much more fun to drive.

 

whoooa

You're 19 and married?

That's young haha, I'm 18....

 

Oh btw, go drive it you will probably buy.

I drove an STI even though I couldn't afford it and I wanted it sooooo bad and that **** was STOCK.

 

nice ya im prolly gonna do it cuz the sound of em are siiiiiiiiiiiiiickkk was there alot of noise in the car tho like road noise

 

I test drove an 07 STI with less than 5k miles. Man I wanted it so bad. Cost too much though.

I then got my 05 coupe for almost half the price.

Since your 19, you probably wouldn't mind the ride. I didn't think it was bad at all.

 

To be honest I never noticed any, I was too caught up in the exhaust note around 3500-4500 RPM.

I would say it has roughly the same or less than the G, depends on the year. The 05/06 with the big square headlights was a little noiser than the newer ones with the triple grille. the 07/08s are pretty quiet.

I think have my years right there? I'm a heavy nissan lover so I never learn models of other *** cars.

After my G retires though I am going to be deciding between a WRX or some kind of subaru. An S2000 or another G sedan. Depends what I need when the time comes.

 

ahhh dam iwant it now lol is it fatser then our gs tho

 

The butt dyno says yes. And the paper work says yes.

But I have seen them lose to Gs.... Drive it good and it'll be fast

 

Subies are so fugly, they are quick but the look compared to the g, well you cant compare them.

 

The WRX lost me when it went to the bugeye look in '00 or '01. Before they brought the WRX here I as a huge fan and wanted to turbo a 2.5RS. But when the new look came out, it lost me. It looked like a neon.

If i were to buy a Subie, i'd get a Legacy GT. I'm past my boy racer days and these things ride pretty well and look sharp when done nice

 

i would do it i was going to by an sti before my g but the insurance was to high my buddy has an sti and he has the same amount of money put into his and is way faster.
