hahahaha, posting the same thing twice, or even three times, isn't helping your case. a person who buys an STI is not paying a premium for JUST awd. i stated what you are paying for aside from that- more refinement, a proven tuning platform that is less finicky and more powerful, in stock form AND when modded. there is no guessing and bandaids with the Subaru like there are with the MS3. the STI is not using parts on the high end of their peak ability like that in the MS3...it's not nearly as stretched thin.
people strive, for the most part on this forum, to eek some more power out of their car. so, let's look at that aspect. the STI can see 325whp very easily with very minimal modification, which translates to a peak chp of over 400hp due to the awd drivetrain loss. an ms3 can't do that, not anywhere near as reliably as the STI (especially for the same money at this deal), and even if it could, it'd never be able to get the power down without being a major PITA.
i know you are absolutely in love with your MS3. you've shown it over and over by being overly protective of your purchase on this forum. but, that doesn't mean for most people on this forum that if the price is right, that the STI isn't a better car overall. you have to look objectively here, and also understand that you didn't make this thread, the OP did and i'm giving info directly related to what he is looking for. he ALREADY has the ms3, s***, so do i, you don't have to sell anyone on that car.
do you understand that?
