Keep the RX8. I hate the STI's. Also, the suspension on the STI is tighter and more sport tuned but the standard WRX is now faster. It has drawn a lot of criticism. I don't mean it's drastically faster, but it is drastically cheaper. Plus it's not a.....well a station wagon like the STI. I apologize, it's a 4 door hatchback.

If you trade it in just put on some cheap RX-8 wheels and sell the R3 wheels to us

Nice car, you should keep it, screw the family :P

Dude you know what's funny. I seriously didn't read any of this post, I genuinely have an 07 Sti and I miss my RX-8. The Sti is incredible, and the speed is incomparable, but I'm just a rotary guy at heart. I seriously just saw the car, and jokingly asked if you wanted to go key for key. Low an behold I look at the rest of the post and you guys are all taking about the Sti. Weird.

I often say that the Sti is the 4 door version of the sti in terms of handling. It's not as incredibly balanced as the RX-8 but its pretty close. Anyway, the reason I switched was because I needed more room. Contrary to popular belief, the trunk on the Sti is quite large and even though you wouldn't want to be back there for long, you can seat three people in the back.

Anyway, if you are interested, PM, cause I'm really looking to get back into an RX-8.

STi vs RX8 is a question of the polar moment of inertia. If you a low Polar Moment get the rx8.. high PM get the STi.

It is for sale. It's got about 10,000 miles. The killer tires and wheels only have about 6k on them because I have a set of snow tires/wheels that may or may not be included in the sale.

I don't want to sell it, but maybe.

Head on over to EVOLVChicago.org...that's where most of the Illinois people are registered. We are pretty active year round and just had an event at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet! Nice lookin R3 btw...hope you decide to keep it.
