The base WRX engine, as of 2015, is a modern 2.0l DI powerplant. Much like BMW's N20.
The WRX is the better buy until the do something with the STIs engine. Embarrassing. It should have had a new motor in 2010, if not earlier. Now it's looking like 2020 at the earliest. A damn MS3 had a DI engine as of 2006 for god sakes.  |
Thanks for your insight into technical aspects of both WRX and STI. Wish I have enough money to buy WRX too along with M2 haha.
