Wondering if I should spend extra cash on the new one or cash in on the old GD, we managed to get a day out with these two critters...sadly, the era of the WRX as you know it is over lah..sigh..

 

anyway, here's the whole thing...pictures, rants and text...

stil love the 06 model.....WRX should stay as 4 door sedan to retain its legend...more boot space too in my opnion, but do more on the facelift like its counterpart 'the ebo'!

Hi there,

 

There is a comparo btn these 2 cars in the latest issue of TORQUE magazine. Perhaps you might want to refer it for reference. Although do take reviews with a pinch of salt. Personally still prefer the Sedan shape

[laugh] I think its purely personal preference in terms of Sedan vs Hatch, More Tiong vs Less tiong, less family vs more family oriented [laugh]

 

Other than that both car are almost the same. Some say the interior is a lot better in the new one but then again, people do not buy rex for its interior. Some even bought GD after the preview at the auto show for the 08 rex is out.

 

My 2 cents.

Yo..the coming STI will be having a good competition with EVO x for Mr. 08 Performance title. No make up, not so pretty outside but having good muscle inside. 300 hp 422 torque is no joke. [sweatdrop]

I tested all 4 cars i.e. old manual/auto and new manual/auto. Without going into details, there are differences between the new and the old, especially the auto version. The old one is generally better, especially the old wrx auto.
