Smile Not that anyone cares....

I dont post much here, but wanted to share my good news. After tomorrow I am getting rid of the G and it is replaced by a 2006 Wrx STI.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two. I wish I had bought the STI instead of the G long ago. Anyways, farewell and you all enjoy the holidays!

what's your take on the EVO? I assume that if you like the STi so much, you considered the EVO also.

STi is tight, but the G looks WAY better and classier.

I guess it comes down to what you are looking for. If it is pure speed and nothing else, yes you are right. You should have known about this way before you bought the G. Since you have only 26 posts, you probably didn't do that much research to begin with. Enjoy your new ride though!

Thats where you are wrong....I did do a lot of research, but the G just got real old real quick. I have had a lot of problems with it since I have bought it. Dont be a hater....I guess I will be seeing you in my rear view mirror.

Its so true man! Everytime I have a girl in my G I point out an STI and ask "do you like those cars?" Not once has a girl said "yes I like them" or even "they are OK." My GF once said "you should get a gay wing on your car like that ugly blue thing." She knows nothing about cars but shes hot and knows when a car is ugly. Anyway I think they look like siht even though they are fast. JMO

I too gave a hard look at the Sti. I liked it very, very much. If I had been 20 years younger, I would have bought it no question. But I'm older, fatter, wiser and I wanted a little more than sheer speed and grip (which the sti has in spades) I wanted RWD ONLY. I grew up driving RWD cars and learned to drive with the tail out. If I remember correctly, the Sti is biased toward the front with torque split more to the rear only under extreme conditions.

Besides, the G has "The Look". Smooth lines, sexy shapes, the Sti looked like a body builder, cut, buffed, and bulging. I'm happy with my choice. Maybe you would have too if you hadn't has so many problems.

Anyway, enjoy the Sti, I know you will.


BTW, you wait a few days and see "how many people care" about this.

they look ok... except from the side then it looks like a econobox with a huge wing on it.. i was actually going to get a evo before the g, but the salesman was being a d!ck so i didn't go with that. i like them (both sti and evo) for their speed and heritage but not their looks, the kind of attention you would get, and their class. IMHO, they look too "high-school" and for the "fast-and-furious" folks. maybe because a lot of those retards give these cars bad reps.

Must be dreamin' man...I spank STIs and EVOs everytime man. The way I figure you just stepped down a notch on the scale. You get zero creature comforts in the interior, nowhere comparable to the G. You bought urself a race car...yes...but theres only gonna be so much racing around you can do before ya keep gettin pulled over in ur little "ricer" or you wrap it around a tree. Essentially you are paying for a car that you have to dump a lot of money into to make it the usual STIs and EVOs we like to see, and trust me a lottt of headaches with the car. I dont even give the ones I see on the road the time of day. And oh yea, I dont need the car to get the girls. But last time I checked girls weren't oggling the STI in the parking lot over the G35.
