That sti looks hidious. If anything i would get an evo X. But if you drive an is350, idk why one would go from an is to a subbie.

I'd rock an 07 white or black sti de-winged and hellaflush it. roll that around is my daily beater and go to the clubs on the weekends with my 250. but trade in? never. i wouldn't trade my IS in ever. it's my first car and when i retire, i'm going to restore it if necessary and show my grandkids what i drove when I was young. (I'm 21 if anyone's wondering)

What a joke of a trade in. I don't care if the Sti offered 0 to 60 in 4.0 seconds flat for $30k, I'd still say no. That level of power is nothing without luxury and class, to me.

Once you go luxury sport, it's very difficult to go back to pure sports cars. You'd have to get to the level of a tuned 0 to 60 in 2.9 second GT-R to make me consider giving up luxury, and even then I still wouldn't "trade in," because while the ISx50 is a very capable daily driver, the GT-R is truly more of a weekend warrior by nature.

Of course, I'd rather get a IS350. Still, I'm glad they made the four-door STI. I don't like wagons. I know a couple of people who have Subarus and they seem reliable from what they tell me.

Don't do it. I never liked the look of Subies. I don't care if they're faster than the IS, I'd rather look good trailing slightly behind.

No not for me.....I agree the IS looks WAY better/slicker. Although I heard that spoiler on the STI adds about 50 horsepower .......
