Z handles well though and looks great, but it can not match an sti in performance, especially when you start to mod the car. Its really expensive to mod.

the Sti looks like your typical 16 year old civic fart canon crap car , so the Z may get you more attention.


all in all, i'd never get an sti, it looks like total junk. The Z is a great car, but isn't really that fast.

The Consumer Reports people are bought and paid for by the product they support.

Consumer Reports accepts no advertising. Which would mean that the thousands of people who work for the organization are ummm... bribed?
