    Default Is it worth it? car rental...

    2 Options :

    I can rent a WRX for 8 days... or Upgrade that rental to an STI?

    The STI is $125 more?

    Is it worth it? Which would you choose?

    WRXs are slow I would do the STI. But if they have an EVO you should rent that, it's much more fun do drive.

    damn where the fuck can u rent an STI, i thought they stopped letting people rent their standard tranny cars because ppl tend to fuck around.

    but yeah it'd worth the extra $ IMO, its a big difference from the wrx... lol watch in a few days you'll be in love with it ready to mod it.

    STI has front LSD so it will under-steer less. Plus the six speed is just more fun than a five. The LSD will help alot on rough roads.

    Both cars are more than capable of getting you arrested, but the STI just has more gadgets and shit to play with.

    Plus the steering in a WRX feels like you're driving a fast sponge.

    a stock WRX makes like 180 to the wheels. It's nothing exciting.
