Default Subaru Impreza wrx or wrx sti?

Yeah i know about the 220hp vs 280hp, is it worth the wait and the money to buy the sti. The agent told me that it will come out this month or the next. The 1.7m(wrx) or the 2.2m(sti)? Pls enlighten me.

actually its 230hp vs 300hp kung 06-07 models. if you are going to bring it to the track or make it a track day car then the sti would be better but if you're just driving it on highways and cities then the wrx would be more than enough. i also read somewhere that the wrx is the more civilized one and better suited as a daily driver.

I think the thread starter is referring to brand new units from Motor Image Pilipinas (the official distirbutor of Subaru here in the PI).

The Impreza WRX is already more than enough for Philippine roads but if you have the money to burn - then go for the WRX STi.

P2.2M for the STi at motorimage? i thought it was at P2.4M?

imo apart from the higher HP, the STi has so much more technology in it than the standard WRX but if you will find it difficult to appreciate those items then better get a standard model.

at the prices you mentioned there's that half a million price difference(money is money) if it's in the budget anyway may as well...

Tama naman, if you're using it daily, the WRX is a better choice, lower fuel consumption, tamer ride... relatively... and it's still just as exciting to thread through traffic.

But: if you're itching for more power and more ability, be warned... it'll cost a lot of moolah to upgrade a regular WRX to STi grade, and it's not just a simple case of tweaking turbos.

If you eventually want the full STi experience, you might as well pony up to buy the STi.

simple lang bro, if u had the "seeds" to play with just wait for the top of the line STi.. Ur 1 of the chosen few na makakakuha nun sa pinas! Its like choosing d likes of an evo, silvia, s2000 against the class s / top of the food chain (1k or more ponies capable n' willing) honda NSX, toyota supra or d japanese myth like nissan GTR. Pro if u have a bit of a tight budget just go for the WRX, it's a freaki'n good car as well.

I think im just gonna get the normal wrx bcoz i'll use it as an everyday car. Thanks for all the suggestions! The sti costs 2.2+80k insurance i think so mga 2.3m na.

Spec C,type 25's,etc... isn't sold here so it doesn't matter. More likely its the USDM. I would opt for the Sti because it is 6 speed, more hp/tq, dccd, better suspension,brembos. Fuel efficiency is irrelevant between the WRX and the STi because force induction fuel economy is how cool you keep your right foot. STi also has the cruiser 6th gear for the highway. I like the 6th gear in my car, imagine 100 kph and just 2k rpm . You can use the STi as daily driver, my car is daily driven. Test drive both if you get the opportunity

If you have the money the STI is the better choice. No contest for me there.
You can' thave enough power.
