Re: thinking of selling XF and buying 06 STi... what do you guys think.
Hmm heres what I think..
The STi:
Pretty neat sedans. Have tons of room for upgrades and even room for four people to sit semi-comfortably. The car has great handling. Overall its a powerfull machine that means business... However I would argue it is a car that has many look alikes, some of which dont just compete with it... they top it... Although they have good room for upgrading, you have to keep in mind that this is a V4 and even a 87 Grand national with its big block 3.8L V6 blows from time to time with limited upgrades... So if you want to upgrade this puppy, get ready to dish out the dollas. That being said, if you know what your doing and you dont abuse it, then your probably going to have a blast! And theres no doubt you have the ability to go faster in this car than the SRT6...
The SRT6
A great yet underrated sports car. Originally a concept car, now a car of the present. While its design can be controversial to different people, theres no doubt that its is extremely unique, boasting less that 3000 SRT6s. It, like the STi, has great performance on and off the track, and also really means business. However, there is less room for upgrades with such a small supercharger. If your wanting to run in the 10's, you better get ready to dish the dollars big time. Also, the car, as we all know, has 2 seats. And the interior, while many enjoy it, can be less desirable by others.. personally i like it =). Repairs on this car can also put you down big time if you dont have an extended warranty. But so far, the biggest problems have been the coolant pump, which is reasonably cheap to fix. But basically your getting a Mercedes for the price of a Chrysler, and lets face it, This car has a personality of its own, less can be said of the STi, atleast from my POV.
Sooo my personal conclusion... Well strangely enough, when looking at cars.. the STi was one of the cars I was seriously considering... But the ricer seeming look (pleasseee nobody attack me for this sentence lmao!), frankly ugly looking interior, and my personally worry about buying a missused one, i decided the STi wasnt for me.... The SRT6 on the other hand has a unique design, power that although is not as upgradeable as the STI, is nothing to laugh at, and the rarity of these cars is astonishing...
I hope this helped! both great cars, but SRT6 is just way too neat, nothing bland about it.
