[QUOTE="roachjuice, post: 2118097, member: 11346"] Parents own a 09 sti. At 22,000 miles the motor popped. Cracked ringlands on 1 and 4 cylinder. Warranty voided. They said the motor had been to 8000 rpm once. I don't know if that's true or not. It now has a fully built 2.5 in it with a stock turbo. It's "OK" but it's not what I consider fast. Gets 20mpg average. My glhs Omni is faster. But my glhs Omni isn't stock either. I've beat the piss out of older wrx's before. With mods they barely trap 101mph in the 1/4. The older wrx's have **** transmissions. They suck real bad. Pretty much glass. The sti 6 speed is stronger. If you can find one a 05-07 sti would be a better choice IMO. You gotta think too, people buy those cars to beat the piss out of them. They launch them all the time. That's HELL on a drive line. Oh and ps. If you're looking at that black one on tulsa Craigslist, it smokes. Turbo is about to pop. I saw it the other day at qt on 11th street in tulsa. [/QUOTE]
