It'd like to start out by saying I've read the sti

>>15381935
The WRX should be fun. I wouldn't trust a 10 year STI on long road trips.


If you want something comfy I'd suggest a AWD acura TL or a ford taurus SHO.

>>15382070
This is something I was hoping to address. The WRX is turbocharget just like the STi, so what's the difference? Why is the STI less reliable?

>>15381935
Boyracer detected. Just get an old outback before it got massive or a forester xt.

>>15382070
I've read that the SHOs are uncomfortable to sit in

I'd go for a subbie OP

>>15382209
More power, more boost.

>>15385450
>>15382258
Forgot to add, I would go with a Forester XT as well. Gives you a bit more ground clearance than the WRX but has the same engine and is still pretty fast.

>always wanted to live in Vermont
>dawned on me you idiots voted The Cuck King

Is it still nice or are you guys fags?

the only solution is volvo.
Plenty of awd manual turbo ones. Up the boost easily and you have a fast car that wasn't thrashed in its previous life like with a subie.

Real Vermonters hate Sanders. And honestly, this state sucks.

Buump.

>>15385858
This state has major issues, not trying to defend it, but most Sanders-voters are, or are the descendants of carpetbaggers from NY/NJ/MA/CT (we call them 'flatlanders'). Vermont (along with our neighbor New Hampshire) was one of the only states was one of the only states to go red in the electoral college all three times Roosevelt ran for president. It was a deep-red state until the mid-90s when the state experienced an influx of new residents (mostly upper middle-class urbanites from the states I previously mentioned), resulting in a major demographic shift, which is illustrated in Vermont's post-1996 voting trends at the state and national level. Rural Vermonters outside of Chittenden County are still fairly conservative, though. If you want a taste of New England, I would recommend New Hampshire and Maine, personally.

Sorry for off-topic, autistic post.

The STI has a different turbocharger and a MUCH more sophisticated (read: better) AWD system. While the WRX also has the power split (I think it's close to a 50/50 split front/rear), The STI can send all the power to whichever wheel has the most traction. So in certain conditions, the STI is capable of being 1 wheel drive. The more sophisticated AWD system and more power is why the STI is 10k more new than a WRX and why the STI won multiple World Rally Championship titles.

Anyways OP, as a Fellow New Englander, get a Subaru. Pick one. They're perfect all-rounders up here.

The only place I've been out there is Middlebury, I'm guessing that isn't it.

That's a haul, but it might do.

Everything Subaru is and has, they owe to the STI. The WRC is one of the toughest racing types there is. The only thing harder is the Dakar rally or Baja racing.

The WRX and STI also feature different suspensions and transmissions. While the transmissions will swap over, the suspension generally won't. The transmissions on the STI are pretty fucking bulletproof, meanwhile there have been many jokes made about the WRX transmissions being made of glass.

In the world of Subaru's, that Cherry Blossom Red (coughpinkcough) STI badge is revered and respected.

>>15391327
>made of glass
I've heard this, which Is why I made this thread. It's the older WRXs correct? like 04-07?

>>15391368
2002-2007. Unsure about 2008+ models but the transmission is still different from the STI
The WRX is ALWAYS saddled with weak transmission. The reason is cost. To meet the price point the WRX needs to compete, they have to use tha same transmissions as normal base model Impreza's, which aren't built to handle power. The STI is hardcore and comes ONLY with a bespoke bulletproof 6 speed manual not found in any other Subaru model.
