also motor in the WRX is a completely new design vs STIs 13 year old problematic EJ series (I owned two STIs as my title states) I would totally consider a WRX, save money and have a better/newer designed engine ..

you need to do your research on both cars..
very interesting you prefer the WRX new motor over the older one. A lot of subie lovers are actually trashing the new WRX for having the fa20 motor. This was actually my concern, as I was under the impression the EJ was therefore better. Any particular reason why you prefer one over the other? Thanks!
