STi is a great car, I used to own one. Don't buy the black '04 at Advant, BTW (it has a very long and grimm history).

I now own an S2000.

Best advice is to think about what you want in a car (RWD two-seater convertible, go-kart on wheels, or four doors, turbo+torque, AWD?) and to go out and drive them both.

 

go with an evo i'm biased.

 

sti, close second would be s2000

 

Heres the S2000

the 350Z

heres the STI

the STI is the only one i can find within 75 miles from springhill... little too high in price also

 

i'm not too sure that you'll find an sti much cheaper than that. of course you can always go for balboa's old sti j/k. good luck w/whichever you choose

 

$26k with 28k miles seems a little steep considering people have gotten brand new '05 STis for around $29k (due to the '06s just came out).

Otherwise, it looks like a good car.

 

go with the 350Z there are not too many out there, my friend had one with some bolt-ons it was pretty quick, he then got a STI but got rid of it.....he regrets getting rid of the 350 though, very nice car, they sound tight as hell too...

 

Agreed. I personally would pick the STi, you dont see too many of them on the road, compared to s2ks and 350s.

 

i don't see too many s2k's. i usually see more sti's. but 350z's are a dime a dozen, that and the resale in 5 years isn't going to be that great. the sti wins in that department. the s2k is going to be replaced by a ff so that will make it wanted in 5 years but there have been plenty sold.
