The new Impreza looks absolutely horrible. Almost like a smaller Camry. The new STI will obviously look more aggressive but "attractive" and "aggressive" are two entirely different things. It's all yet to be seen, but a 3000lb STI hatch sounds a lot more "rally" to me than a 3500lb Evo X right now. Time will tell.

 

i would also recommend looking at the 335, or maybe wait for the 135i

 

The 135i is going to be amazing!

 

yea a 06 MR and the 6-speed feels like s.hit compared to my last car (mazdaspeed protege). I changed the tranny fluid 2 times with the mitsu diaqueen, and my car only have 11k miles. 2nd gear is so notchy feeling, just straight up hate the trans. the transfer case is starting to make the car chug when you start off in first. during clutch engaugemant only. ????? who knows

 

i already have 40 k on my 06 mr and my tranny shifts good ..mybe i just know shift??????? stock clutch still grabs good

 

05 evo 8 owner here, im up to 23 thosand miles and some change. i must honestly tell you i have had thoughts of getting something else but who doesnt it? but when i take her out for a ride at night and just punch it or get onto the turnpike and i feel that untouchable feeling that changes my mind completely. i love this car and more then likely she will stay in family.

 

EXACTLY !!!

But... sometimes in my darkest "low-rpm torque" deprived moments, I find myself longing for a LS7. Check out the following link and tell me you heart does'nt skip a beat.

my options would be...

m3, vette, exiege, or go luxury.

 

Apart from the looks, yes. BMW is going to have a huge hit on their hands.

 

Had an 03... Traded up for an '06 MR...

Buschur stage 1
Mellon tune
18,000 miles
Not 1 single problem, I love the 6 speed so much more than the 5... Smooth as butter

I wouldnt mind getting an STi... Maybe for a DD, but I'd NEVER trade the Evo

 

I would keep the Evo. I had some grinding too, but after 8K miles it stopped. Off the start it is quick if one knows how to drive standard. I don't launch so my clutch is good. But it sounds like your car has some problems. So it is not like new and repair free, then you may want to sell it. You may want something with a V8 or V10, more power, Automatic, but STI are good too, it's of course, you preference. Good luck! Remider more power = more fuel$

 

god i hate how sti's shifter feels its like i don't even know how to describe this those who have driven it know

 

my brother has a six speed 540i and loved it....until he drove my car. Seriously he is now selling it and getting an evo ix. They are great cars, the build quality, interior, v8 etc but once you feel that turbo...

 

I love STI's

But I don't think i could took at those blue seats everyday.....

 

! It even has forged titanium rods.
