aucky Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Can not really say with sti but i have had a blob wrx and have a hatch wrx now and use both as dailys and the hatch i would say is easyer to live with as a daily.my hatch has lowering springs on so it bit stiffer then normal but its still easyer on my old limbs.hatch has folding rear seat as well which is main reason i changed from the saloon,much easyer if you want to get stuff in it.i would say go for the hatch and the 330s has nice recaros in them,but at the end day its your choice so i would say test drive each then you will be able to decided which is for you.

slipstream5418 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 All 2.5 have potential ringland issues.. hence the current high price for 2.0 Widetracks. Any 2.5 is at best 50/50 for a failure unfortunately; but a good remap, educated driving and going forged will minimise the risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find a forged one though your larfing. If you dont mind having a rebuild then 2.5 is fine, built right they have loads of potential and make a better road engine than the 2.0 imo. Just depends if you want to go that route or not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
