#24 of 28 Is it better to buy a WRX, Premium, or STI? by holisticnurse

Aug 05, 2009 (4:35 pm)

Hi, wondering if it's better to buy a bottom line WRX and add mods or better to buy a STI with everything included? I heard the mod package on the STI is just the best. I would really like to get the premium cuz of the sunroof and would add the exhaust and some other little things. Is it worth getting the sat radio? Also, got any sites that sell good aftermarket parts? The subaru.com site doesn't really describe all the parts available as options. Thanks guru~

C&D tested both and oddly enough the plain WRX was actually quicker.
 
I'd want the rock-solid 6 speed MT from the STi, but besides that I'd save my money and start with a plain one.

Start by removing any extra weight you are carrying in the car...bowling balls,garden tools, etc. Be sure tires are inflated to the max correct pressure. If there are any check engine lights, get the problems fixed.
 
Then relax and enjoy the adequate performance which won't change much without extensive and expensive modifications.

I saw an installation video on Youtube. It mentioned that 2.0 WRX 03 and later, aside from putting the 2 male/female green connectors together ( under the dash ), you are supposed also connect the white connector too. I only see one loose white connector under the dash next to the two green connectors. How is the white connector connected under the dash? Thanks in advance.
