Thats in no defense of the STi at all. Its a true statement, equally you are getting just as bent about the fact that I said Evos pop left and right. They break dude, their mitsus. Do I like the car? Yeah, I considered buying one at one point, but I couldnt justify spending 30gs on a Mitsu. When I can get a BMW 335i for a little bit more. I dont think either car, STi or Evo, are worth their price tag for the power they have. I think they could give you a little more "reliable power" out of both for that sticker.

Youre right the JDM tranny is much much infinately better, but I would much rather a tranny go than a long block. Even though youre looking at like 4k for that tranny, gears can be rebuilt.

 

this thread was a funny read.. you guys need to do more reading and less typing.. with the exception of jeff and one other (NOTpurreplayya69)
)

 

not true all my friend.... i know kids sti's with plenty of miles on them pushen 400 at the wheels... it all depends how good the quality of the tune is how long your gonna be running on your stock internals NOW granted they can go at anytime with a good tune they can go for plenty of miles b4 u need anything new.... S4 is just a luxury car with the performance that will keep a car enthusiast happy.... whoever says sti and evo are pieces of crap cars rice burners w/e u wana call it your just ignorant because you know in most categories performance wise the s4 is gonna lose ESPECIALLY TO STAGE 2 STi if the s4 is stock.... subaru builds awesome cars and dont even argue that

 

idk what your talking about the tranny problem was addressed in the WRX not the STi so dont say something you dont know
