I think I didnt word my previous posts exactly like I wanted to.
I live in Europe and have tried an STI, the one we get here, with a 2l turbocharged engine and 265 bhp. The brakes fade shortly after you start using them, the car understeers like no tomorrow and the turbo kicks in very late. In addition to that, I dont like the way the car looks too much. Not compared to an Evo anyway. If there were no Evos, I would probably be driving around in a modified STI.

dealer here) but it's possible.Well, at least I'll wait for a head to head comparisions.
BTW: Why so many posts are gone? I think even one or more of my posts were deleted. Strange....

We get worst climate contols.
We get uglier seats (better than no recarios)
We get the more weight with less goodies.
We get cheaper Radio.
We get 1 din insteat of 2 like on the GSR.
We get less horsepower (expected)
Everything is
except for this small list i've made. Please feel free to add anything. I'd be pissed if they do add the diffs in the near future. That means i'd have to trade in my brand new car because i want ACD unless it adds a lot more weight and doesn't make that much performance difference. I do want the snow setting for the winter though. Hopfully ralliarts could help me out?
I'm still buying one b/c it's still an awesome car but i would like to ask why. I personally dont' mind everything to be optional adding my price to upwards towards $36,000.

USDM not worth 30k

Hope that gives you some perspective.
Ahh, this thread is back from the dead. Yes, signapore get screwed in taxes. It's a good way to keep cars off the road.
Anyways, there was no reason for not giving us front LSD except to cut cost. Same goes for semi-auto climate controls. We do not have a version of the GSR like the rep said orginally. Our version is like a stripped evo 7 RS with A/C and outside GSR look. I guess they just call it evolution because ours is different.
Dont' get me wrong as of now you can't buy a better performance car for it's price. I'm still waiting to see how the STi performs.
Now we are waiting for the ralliart goodies to compare horspower wise with warrentee in tack. Hello? ? This would be a good way to cover some ground we lost.
***This thread is old. We should start a new one if people are interested in recent opinions and USDM Evo pros and cons.
