maharaj1- thanks, I never drove or sat in an WRX/STI so it's good to hear about how it rides.

4.8isX5 - If Sti or WRX it will be the 2015 one as I hear the new ones are a lot better interior/ride wise (just from what i read), thinking abut restricting my budget to no more than 35k, and i can only see WRX/sti squeeze in that budget... new.335i sounds tempting.
idk how they are maintenance wise or if i can get a good cpo.
not too worried about image but yea the way it rides def...anything else out there with good performance and reliability?

Thanks
