The interiors are fine on the 2016's... You guys are just trying to justify BMW anymore. Lots of things have changed with Mustang and Camaro. Even a Nissan altima has a great interior these days.

If your satisfied with fine then I'm happy for you. My interior is gorgeous and wouldn't trade it for anything. Also I never buy new, why get stuck with the depreciation?

$40,000 for a tin can Subaru WRX STi is absolutely asinine.... They are sheet metal on wheels... They are NOT even fast... People are complete imbeciles (most are kids 26 and under who really can't afford them) for paying such stupid prices for them. It's stunningly ridiculous....

The WRX is 26k base new and makes 300hp with a tune and e85. Comparing new to new the WRX is better. Comparing used to used the BMW can be better but the 335i is WAY more unreliable and pricey compared to a WRX.

PLUS you are getting AWD with the WRX

The WRX/STIs also have a history of blowing completely stock engines fairly easily.

I know several guys that were all over the subaru bandwagon till they were on their 2nd, 3rd and one guy even his 4th engine.

A friend just lost a cylinder in his 2011 WRX at 87K miles...

lets see... I paid $19,500.00 for my 2011 335i X-drive with almost all options... It's just about mint in condition, faster than any stock WRX/STI, better to cruise around with, and you can actually carry on a conversation while traveling on the highway. Still on original W/P and coil packs...

New for new..... WRX base all day...... The kids don't buy them, so they give discounts. $26,000.00 out the door...

Too bad all the data points to the WRX being more reliable regardless of your PERSONAL experience is with one of the most unreliable cars ever made, the 335i.

BJ23, why are you here? Go and get yourself a Corvette, Camaro, Mustang or WRX, and troll those websites.

I can't figure out how to order the correct rotors for? Yeah because some how I messed up selecting year and model on a website order form.

He named himself after a cartoon character. What do you expect?

Personally Id buy the WRX premium model 6spd for 28k because they are just as fast as the STI.

I always forget I am on a BMW forum where..

Corvette is SHIT
Camaro is SHIT
Mustang is SHIT
WRX is SHIT..

Seems all cars that do not have the BMW badge are shit.

Subaru has done some amazing planning, marketing and program development to keep the resale value of their cars high. It's not something a large car company or a luxury brand could do, but they've done it very well.

Along the same lines though it puts their cars in a completely oddball category that BMW doesn't compete in. I like both brands, I bought a new 2015 Outback last year as the kid wagon. The Outback is a perfectly fine car that does what I bought it to do very well, and the resale value makes it fairly inexpensive to own. It's not a BMW. I've driven a 2015 STI Limited and it's a perfectly fine car, it has a some fantastic merits. It's definitely not a BMW.

So just because we own a bmw and are on a bmw forum we cant admit another car is better than ours? Closed minded as f*ck

Jozy · 04-27-2016, 02:05 AM

I like them STIs but wouldn't want to be seen driving one while in my business wear.

Back in a Subie · 04-27-2016, 09:12 AM

I left BMW because I needed more space than the E90 had and I was tired of the overly high repair costs. For the same price as a nice 5 series I picked up a 2015 Outback 3.6R Limited and a 2015 Launch Edition STI. In 10 years I will get more back for both than I would for a BMW. Plus I get a family car and a fun car at the same time.

You summed it up right there. But that's pretty much how it is on any car forum.
