It's better in person a friend and i went to a subaru dealership and looked at one . The bucket seats are bad and of course the turbo and the all-wheel drive :licker: . They only had one their and it was an auto . I would get it but theirs a thing called a Type R and i think thats what i would rather have . Even thought it doesnt have the power of the subaru (TURBO) or the all wheel drive but its a honda and i think im gonna stick with the ITR :D

Wait for a 5-speed model to show up at the dealer and drive it. Then decide between the ITR and WRX.

I agree... wait for the stick and take it out, go way to fast on a corner and youll see why they kick ass...

I went to my local Suby dealer yesterday, they had two WRX's there, both standards (plus one new TS wagon, also a stick). They had a silver one in the showroom, which was some nice, and a black one on the lot. Both were completely un-optioned, but they have enough standard features that you don't really need any of the options.

has anyone read page 35 of the May Car & Driver issue...you'll see what you should be waiting for...the WRX sti!

Somebody, give him a bone!:rolleyes: :D

ok, ok, smarty pants... I just hadn't seen anyone mention the sti yet, and I thought that I could provide some extra info...

uuummmmm, I was talking about GOD.:rolleyes:

Don't you all forget that the most recent ITR available in the States is nearly obsolete now? So you think that the new ITR is better than the next RS-X type-S? Well get this: the RS-X has an upcoming Type-R, which (of course) we will never see on this side of the Pacific. So in comparison of the most available high-performance import compact sedan/coupes, which would you prefer? I know many who would still take the most recent ITR, but with all aspects considered which would you rather prefer: a performance car with all necessary amenities or a performance car without the excess? And when the latter beats the former? You decide. Then buy. Then tell me you were right/wrong about the Integra Type-R. Tell me it wasn't just a marketing scheme. Tell me it wasn't just something to be envious of. Tell me you can get something better for the money, OEM or not. Tell me what you have in your garage is worth it. Just tell me....

Wait for yhe 5 speed then take it for a drive, then make your mind up.

I want my mom to get the Sti, she has an Outback right now and might upgrade to a Lexus RX 300 in two years. I want her to get an STi however. I need that 276 BHp and all-wheel drive to blaze to the Ski Hills.

Dark Shadow eh? Yeah, the STi would be way nice.
