I think you can get the GTI in 4 doors too, we saw one at a dealer a couple weeks ago.

Very true.That's why I like it though,its different than every other car and its just distinctive.

That's true also.Its just the way the engine is designed and where the heads are located that makes it a chore.

So basically the only downsides to an wrx are:

1)Hard spark plug changes.
2)Weak glass trannys.

Test drive both and make your decision based on your own opinion, why rely on all of the bias opinions on here?

this is the way I see it:

Sti>Evo>Wrx>Srt-4>Gsr Integra>Singlecam Civic>Gti

I'd glady take an evo for my wrx anyday.and I'd trade that evo for a sti just as quick .
