Valiumz Neutral Newbie December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 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'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomx Neutral Newbie December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 I think its purely personal preference in terms of Sedan vs Hatch, More Tiong vs Less tiong, less family vs more family oriented 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.

Ayuready 1st Gear December 9, 2007 Share December 9, 2007 i also agree, both are abv avg performer, but depend on which one move your heart somehow my heart "moves" when i saw the new model, I immed go place order for the outgoing one, cos i was telling my self, rob beg steal also must buy if not no more liao, then next time all the new rex yet to appeal to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonwalker Neutral Newbie December 14, 2007 Share December 14, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibill 1st Gear December 14, 2007 Share December 14, 2007 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. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
