Damn hard choice! Chime in Si owners!

07FiJiSi · 10-18-2007, 09:14 AM

So I have a 07 Fiji Coupe. I love the color, love the car it has just under 11,000 on it. I work at a dealer. Always teased with new cars a 06 WRX limited (heated leather sport seats) was traded in. The car has tein springs, sti brakes, sti wheels, sti body kit, front mount intercooler, turbo upgrade with a waste gate, full exhaust and downpipe, custom tune, performance clutch. The subaru has 20,000 miles on it and a VERY clean kept car. I've checked out payments and insurance and in the end the subi is going to only cost about 20 bucks more a month for the same term. Hmmmm all wheel drive VERY fast subi with a limited warranty.....vs.....a bone stock si with balance of factory warranty. Love hondas (now)....always love subaru's (I am an autocrosser) its a hard choice. Btw I have a Mustang race car so this is just a sporty daily driver to have lots of fun in. Whats the best choice?

that's 5 bucks a week to go a lot faster. DO IT.

JasonC. · 10-18-2007, 10:20 AM

SUBY.......I think the performance gains are worth the $20 extra a month. plus this one is already hoked up....so you get a head start. If you don't do it, I will!!

***07BlakBlak*** · 10-18-2007, 10:22 AM

a wrx that is that highly modified had the piss driven out of it and is kinda like asking a hooker to marry you....probably not a real good idea.

jocasti · 10-18-2007, 10:25 AM

Yeah, Its probably seen a little bit of abuse, but then again..AWD...

Upgrade!

NIGHTHAWKSI · 10-18-2007, 10:58 AM

i would say go for it. you work at the dealer so if you buy it and find out any weird things since it may have been abused, you work there and im sure you will get it taken care of.

spook4thecia · 10-18-2007, 11:17 AM

IMO if you already have a race mustang then I'd say keep the Si. You already have a go fast car. And IMO the Si is the perfect fun-to-drive practical DD

oneshotsFA · 10-18-2007, 12:57 PM

im sure its seen abuse but a subie can stand a little more then 20k of abuse. Go For It!!

bernies07civic · 10-18-2007, 01:01 PM

hahah lmao....He is prob speaking the truth...

Anubis · 10-18-2007, 01:36 PM

I say go for it as well....only fear would be how hard the car was run and beat on.

tonyk20 · 10-18-2007, 02:06 PM

I Won't Do That, Cuz Even Wrx Upgraded A Lot.. So Wut. It's Used, And Si A Lot Reliable More Than Wrx.. Dude.. If U Had Muscle Car... Why U Trying To Get A "wrx" For Ur Daily Drive??

074doorSI · 10-18-2007, 02:14 PM

Keep the SI. Better milage, and still a very fun daily driver. Yeah, the Subi would be fun too, but you could have problems with it and you sure won't get the mileage and reliability of the SI.

07FiJiSi · 10-18-2007, 02:18 PM

AWD (live in Pittsburgh)...fast...leather...moddified...4 door. Mustang is awesome car but only when you want to race its too track prepped for a daily street car. The Si is nice but I think I want a little more.

Actually I've been getting about 21-23 in my car and on the wrx forums MOST people are getting 20-22 city.

tite681 · 10-18-2007, 02:26 PM

projectprelude · 10-18-2007, 02:28 PM

07FiJiSi · 10-18-2007, 02:48 PM
