Doesn't come in hatch though........ lol
Flip....... if that's what you really want and you can afford it dude......... go for the STI. think of the aftermarket support that's going to already be jumping for that car........ more than the MS3 at current. I bet cobb is already working on an accessport for it and will probably finish THAT before they finish the ms6/ms3 one
if I had the chance to get an STI (i only like the 04/05 models though) instead of my MS6 I would have jumped at that.......
if thats the car you want man, I would get it...... have you driven AWD before? I say if you can........ go test drive the STI....... you should be driving something you're gonna love.

Oh, and did anyone mention how the STi's hold there value. I picked mine 04 up for a steal of 22,500 with 37k on it, the retail was 27k.. and brand new they are 33k... so ya you do the math. Going on 4 years old and its only dropped 6k, try pulling that with a MS3. (dance)

hhmm... learned sumthin new , i didn't know the X looks good MODDED
!
And yea, i have 2 friends with awd (sig has evo in it). My other friend has an sti (07).. I drove them and i know exactly how it drives...
In a way i kinda like not hearing my tires schreetch whenever i step on the gas. With awd, u get like a serious pull since u hook right away...
one of the good things i like bout ms3 is when on a roll, it seriously pulls...
Did i mention....on a roll, the evo,sti,and ms3 is almost identical !!!!!
BUT awd is good for a daily driver

I'm not really a fan of the new hatchback they threw in for the STI....... and I certainly didn't like the 06/07 models because they borrowed that ugly ass nose from the B9 Tribeca..... all I could think was WTF? Front on the STI is looking a little better........ tail end? Meh....... I don't even like the rear end on the Evo X...... and that SHOULD look good.....ya know........cause that's all someone's gonna see when you modify it to pwn everything on the road. LOL
oh and the Evo X and the STI hatch ran near identical times in the 1/4 when a magazine tested them back to back (forgot which mag it was)
but hey man if your wife/gf gave you the green light to get it......and you can afford it? By all means........trade in the MS3...... but don't forget to check out the insurance rates for the STI as well......... may cost a big significant difference more that you might not be ok with paying.
