Just pick the one that suits you.


As far as miles goes, these engines can be extremely reliable with care and maintenance. Just as with any car it depends on how the owner took care of it.

I have to chime in here. you are definitely wrong about the differences being slight from a WRX to an STI. Im not going to go into all the differences but I cant definitely say the STI is worth it if you can afford one over a WRX.

Per the original question. I would go with the STI over a Corvette. Corvette is an older persons car and more grown up. If you want a fun, young car. Get the Subaru.

The two cars really do not compare. That STI is an amazingly fun car and for the mods and condition it looks to be in I would say $15K is a fair price on it.
