Wait for the JDM version to come out. They'll unveil a 300hp WRX on August 25th. Much promise.

I'm very sure that they'll come out with another WRX STI for the Japanese market. That could be even better. Besides, all these years, Japanese market WRX STI uses EJ20 2 litre engines instead of 2.5 litre like those at international markets.

0-100kmh time seems slower. I remember the GDB versions can crack 0-100 in under 5 seconds. This one did it in 5.2... Still, this one remains as my favorite.

S206? That one selling for over 300k. More expensive than this latest model. But the 6 pot brakes is very tempting and nice. Imagine, 6 pot brakes in a Japanese 4 door sedan. Not exactly a coupe or the traditional looking sports car. :adore:

BTW, the older GDB Spec C Type RA-R had 6 pot brakes as well.

S204 also very good. Very nice seats. Carbon seats if I am not mistaken. But what I din't like about those special edition of the GDB series are the spoilers. I prefer the standard WRX STI large spoiler over the small ones in S204 or Spec C RA-R.

This spoiler



Din't really like this...

Long ago Forester don't have low version already... Only first and second generation got... I remember they have STI Forester for those as well. Hehe, its kinda like 4G63T in Airtrek... Evo and STI in disguise.

Then get Recon......:biggrin:
Recon very hard to get Evo X manual... Don't want SST. That one need extra care and cooling for gearbox.... But since already recon, might as well get Evo IX, haha. More power.

Airtrek not exactly too high like those Hilux, Pajero, Land Cruiser SUV ma. :biggrin:

Evo X 5 speed manual only...

Evo X a bit too expensive maybe that's why not a lot running around the streets. I mean, if you really wanted an Evo experience, might as well go for the cheaper and more powerful CT9A series from 7 to 9. Evo X is expensive, difficult to source a manual unit as well. Besides, it no longer uses the famous 4G63T. Version 10 WRX STI at least still uses EJ20 for JDM versions.
