looking to buy a car and wondering what ppl think.

2004 wrx sti, which by the way you should buy mine. It only has around 14,000 miles on it. and it is pearl blue.

Honda Civic Si's, while very nice, do not hold a candle to an STi. The Subaru is better on every level. My question to you though is, if you have the money to buy an STi, why would you even consider a Civic?

there is no comparison between these two cars you mentioned. the sti is a super fast go kart, crappy ride, but can tame any twisty. the civic is much more palatable over the road, but can not handle anywhere near the sti.

if you find an sti that hase not been beaten, go for it.

the answer is simple. youre obviously into tuning & u may think that the sti is a bit more of a ''soccer mom car'' being a sedan & all, but thats the great thing about it. the sti is putting out 320 hp while the civic is putting down only 197, still nice for a factiory spec car, but not even close to the sti. when u calculatre in the weight, the sti is pushing 10.19lbs of its weight for every horsepower it has, while the civic is pushing 14.60lbs per horsepower. the sti also comes stock with a 1/4 time of just above 12 seconds & can easily be improved. also the all wheel drive capabilitile of the sti cant be matched by the civic. Well l hope this helped, but u should also look into the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII l or IX.

hahahaha!

ST l vs. Civic SI

that is like comparing Cristal champagne to Jose Cuervo.

of course, get the STI. way way faster, better handling

The Sti is making 300 hp. It depends on what you want out of the car as to what you should get. The Sti is awd and a much better handling car and will outrun the si if you want a faster car get the sti. The civic is nice and probably better on gas but it is not comparable to the sti in performance.

STi all the way. Better performance machine and there are many websites devoted to the performance of these cars.

It is going to cost big bucks to get the civic even close to the performace of the STi.

The only real drawback is that insurance rates on the STi are higher then on the civic.

ST l hands down for handling, ride abd safety. Love that AWD.

This one is easy. ST l does and will kill and S l (Stock) Even the WRX will destroy an S l civic stock. Dont waist your time with an Honda civic when you are considering an STI.

Oh, l hate these questions. Ok the STi, if u have the money is great. Handling, power, sleeper look, it is got it all. The Si. . . well, it is a Civic. And there is a 6 month waiting list on the new ones?!? l do not know what people r thinking. Ok, the Civic Si does have some redeaming qualities. Yes, it is better on gas but it is a N/A car. N/A cars that have worse gas mileage than the STi r the LS1 corvettes & the 6.0 Hemi, just to name a few. l see a trend hear, HUGE DISPLACEMENT. And the Civic is displacement. . . well, it is tiny. Thus the 195 hp. If l am not mistaken, the Civic is FWD. While this is good for daily driving, it is NOT a performace aspect. The AWD of a Subaru, great for rally, not too bad for drag if u know what you're doing. I've had FWD before l bought my WRX & when there was an inch of snow, l could not go anywhere with my FWD but in the AWD l was passing 4x4 trucks with ease.

Ok, so the Civic really does not have any redeaming qualities. . . other than lower price tag. Remember though, u get what u pay for.
