Need Help Deciding..

I have the option to trade in one of my cars to get either of the following. A 03 Evo with 60k, a 04 STi with 20k, or a 04 Turbo WRX with 40k. I am kinda torn between the three. Another Evo would be nice, but I also like the handling of the STi and it would be nice to own both. Any input would be appreciated. Blake.

Main reason I considered the rex is because of financing. The WRX is 16k$, the Evo is 22k$, and the STi is 23k$. I was really leaning towards the STi as well. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds so to speak.

This is the STi I was looking at. Seems like a good deal for the price.

My two dream cars are a 94 Supra or a R33/R34 Skyline. Don't have the money for that now. I'm gonna head down to the local Subie dealer and see what happens tomorrow. Thanks for all the input!!

I'd go for the STI, the thing though that you will find is modding them aren't as easy as the EVO. But you already have an evo, so that pretty much is the reason.

Now if you have an open mind to something else, you might even want to consider a non AWD car since you already have one.

nah man if u get a wrx you'll regret it...if u wanna mod it...my bro had one and loves modding...for one the sti tranny is way better and to swap is like 7gs...also the sti can produce way more power...the evo is good but its risky gettin one wit 60k miles on it unless ur gonna redo the tranny and engine
