Sorry but i do not click links to other car forums. I have no interest in what Subaru owners have to say.

 

I was gonna post, "you guy's shoulda bought EVO's", but didn't want to go through the effort of registering.

 

I'm on clubwrx because I used to own a WRX. I defended the Z on there. To be fair the STi does offer better performance but it still doesn't have the sports car feel that the Z does. It's fast but it still feels like an econo car because despite the 300hp its still based on a lowly impreza. If you lived in an area with really bad weather and needed AWD it then would be great, your not going to find a better performance car for inclement weather. In terms of look the Z has them all beat by far. I liked the way my 05 wrx looked but the Z just looks so much better.

 

honestly my two cents would be that the subbie guys are kind of jealous being the fact that the 350 has gotten tuner car of the year according to modified mag (followed by the S2K and then the STI), and every other car mag you look it all you see is "Year of the Z!!!" but other then that its all prefrence. im pretty sure a couple of those guys on that forum debated the 350Z in their "line up" of cars they want to look at before purchasing. either that or their all just haters

 

STL_WRX: "id like to see a 350z drive in 8in of snow..."




Why in the hell would I drive in 8in of snow?

 

+1 I've never understood that justification. I guess using that logic a lifted truck with studded snow tires would be the best car.

 

Yeah I don't think he knew where he was going with that...

 

I dont know anyone who bought Subaru's for their looks.

 

Hey! Let's bring ourselves down to their level by repeatedly bashing the Scooby! Yehah!

Thank god there are others thinking the same thing I am, everyone making the comments about the STI are just stooping to a ricer level, I mean ****, give other cars respect, the STI is a nice, fast car, maybe it doesnt look as good as the Z to YOU, but that doesnt mean it looks like shiet. Come on guys grow UP.

 

I'm pretty sure that alot of Z owners debated an STI before too, I know I thought about it, and the EVO...

 

+1

I also agree with whoever said the '06 STI's are ugly! Especially with the roof spoiler; what were they thinking? lol

 

yeah thats a good point

Their both really good but really different cars.

 

I did, but finding an STi with low miles seemed harder than I thought. I looked at STi mainly because its AWD, and it snows where I live.

So lets just hope that $600 snow tires gets me where I need to go this winter.

I do agree that the Z looks nicer (to me) and the new STi could lose that enormous wing on the back. But give credit where credit is due -- STi is FAST.

 

Hahaha Yeah that would have been funny! I looked at the sti aswell but as soon as I drove the evo, there was no going back. No top end AT ALL!

The Z is a nice car. I wouldn't get one for a daily driver, but that's because I have a kid and need the back seat...

 

Life is too short to drive an ugly car......

I literally cringe EVERYDAY at the bizarre vehicles that people actually PAY $ to drive in.

That box-on-wheels POS Toyota Scion truck-car looking thing is hideous I lost ALL respect for Toyota anyway after nixing the Supra, Celica GTS and MR2

 

Never seen a WRX that had 8" of ground clearance...

 

This is a pretty lame argument. All the Z has over the STi is looks. The STi beats the Z in all performance aspects. I have debated this argument, time and time again in my head. Between the two I will eventually get a Z, not because it looks better. But because overall it is a better car for me.

 

Ive plowed snow with my AWD car before...

 

I wish the STI came wrapped in a different body, even the old body style with the squared headlights... it looks too much like a Kia on steroids. Plus all STIs come with that fugly blue interior. If I was 16 and single I'd consider the STI. But I'm 23 and married... Z me. =)
