i have the same dilema as the thread starter.

rx8 or wrx sti (03/04)

thanks for your views i think i have made my decision, i will just need to rent these cars out from a specialist lender vendor thingy to make 100% sure.

 

subie's are very reliable. Evo's... i would worry more about that just because it's a mitsubishi... as good and reliable as evo owners swear they are, I still wouldn't trust a mitsu.

 

I was very close to jumping off the rx8 ship to finance/lease an STi (only because i wanted a fun, all weather sedan that can hold more crap).

I did a weekend of test drives of 04-06 wrx/sti's recently and came away appreciating the rx8 a lot more than I did before. Overall, the 8 is a lot classier in both look and feel. The STi interior wasn't bad and the exterior screams of boy racer. STi was freakin fast and handled very well. The fact it's awd+speed+handling+practical and not to mention you might get better mileage it's very hard to resist.

 

The topic as well as its formulation is utterly ridiculous. A person who starts a topic on radically different performance cars without even acknowledging their different natures while asking for advice, without specifying what he is looking for in a car as well as; where he lives (coditions) and what he intends to do with it, is either not too bright or not too serious.

 

missed the location part, haven't changed my opinion though
