nka Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 For now, here what I got, but I want other opinions Plus for LGT are : - Heated seat (I know I'll miss that in winter) - Dual Zone AUTO climate (Never got that in my car, but I love the one in the Altima 3.5SE of my GF) - More sleeper look and classy look (Less cops, less eyes (and theift)) - More confort and conveniant (sp?) (seat, dash info options, etc...) - 3 year newer... Plus for the wagon are : - STi engine (more powerfull) and tranny (better and playfull) - Already have guage, HID and wheels (and others things I would do) - Unique look - I could use my headunit without "hacking" the car.

Regal05LGT Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Go with the LGT...cheaper insurance, less hassle from police as it's a "family sedan" and it is newer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nka Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 I think that LGT are sexyer (a lot) than bugeyes, but this bugeyes is cute to me (I don't like them normaly). I think I'll stick with the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinchy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sexy STi for sure, but I would go with the LGT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 THis post is in Canadian dollers: You can pick up a stock 05 LGT for between $18- 20K right now. This WRX is nice, but it's an 8 year old chassis. You can also pick up 2002 WRXs for 10-12K. So him asking a 5-8K premium for the swap, wheels etc is out to lunch. People who expect to get money out of their mods are delusional. If you could get this WRX for 14-15K taxes in, then it might be something to consider. I would. However you will be sitting in a stripper first year WRX that is fast as balls, but not much else. Or you could be sitting in an LGT wagon for just a little more money, and enjoy it for longer. Edit- I don't know how old you are, but if you are 18-25, prepare to be pulled over / chased / hassled by street racers, and cops on a daily basis. The LGT will present none of these issues for you, unless you slam it and put some huge wheels / exhaust on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Since the guys is asking 17800$, I don't think I'll be able to go as low as 15k$ taxes-in. I think I'll be able to go 16k$+tx... btw, I've been thinking a lot, and I prefer to have an LGT. It's pretty cool to have a fast and fun to drive car now. But I don't think I'll like it that much in 2-3 year. I'll prefer the LGT. I've been dreaming/watching LGT since 1-2 years, don't think it's a good choise to get something else I'm 26 and I drive a ION Redline (big wing) : http://stuff.urbanghetto.net/IRL-Propre1.jpg I just got pulled like twice in 4 year. Even with my civic straight pipe I wasnt pulled often. Maybe it's the way I drive, but cops leave me alone. As for street racer, I got a lot of them... even 35+ boys on CTS (non-V) thinking they can get me I'm sure it's because of the big wing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Plus for the wagon are : - STi engine (more powerfull) and tranny (better and playfull) The trans is not better. All that WRX/STi will do is make it all the easier to break that trans. Plus, it's a bum deal without the girls.

BigT Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Take the STI for sure! More fun, more room for stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 not better ? Didn't STi V6 got LSD rear AND front ? The likelihood that it's ACTUALLY a Version 6 trans is slim-to-none. Too much other USDM stuff on the car. What it LIKELY is, is a STI-RA gearset (which was OE on the Ver.6 STi). The only Version 6 STi that had a front limited slip was SOME of the STi RA Limited's and the S201. If you have a trans code, I could tell you for sure. Either way, it's still not a better trans.

rtbrjason Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I came from a redline too.. 06 here with comp pack. I went to an 07 LGT 5EAT and couldn't deal with not having a manual. I traded it in within about 10 days on an 08 spec b. I want to say go with the LGT, but that is a damn nice wrx/sti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max713 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Id almost always shy away from a modded car... He modded it for a reason, and he drove the piss out of it. The lgt is so much nicer and more comfortable, its an obvious decision in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
