328 or wrx sti

pschnei3 · 07-14-2011, 09:09 PM

my friend wants to get an sti but i told him he should get a 328. just wanted to see what others thought.

Impervious · 07-14-2011, 10:27 PM

If he's looking for a sports car the WRX STI is a great choice. If he has wife/kids/other priorities, the 328i is a great choice.

mtla4 · 07-14-2011, 10:38 PM

Depends. I have no interest for a 328 . I'd rather drive an Accord-Maxima over that car. But that's just me. So STI it is because I love performance cars and the STI is very practical. In fact it has more room then the 328.

BillLee · 07-14-2011, 10:42 PM

sti

ragingclue · 07-14-2011, 11:10 PM

Hmm that's a tough one.

Greenkirby21 · 07-14-2011, 11:13 PM

depends what your friend wants?

speed/performance and doesn't care for looks = sti
luxury and comfort =328i

KingOfJericho · 07-14-2011, 11:18 PM

328i is a pretty uninspiring ride. WRX all day.

TheU · 07-14-2011, 11:32 PM

STI all the way. I like the Evo X more, but between the two definitely the STI.

eVitO · 07-15-2011, 04:25 AM

You can get a fully loaded G37 sedan for the same price as a base 328...

That being said, I'd take an STi over a 328 anyday...

Top_Gear_Fan · 07-15-2011, 05:44 AM

0-16 for the STi at the time of this post lol

ibeclueless · 07-15-2011, 06:50 AM

sti would be more fun of a car to drive

bhoch · 07-15-2011, 07:22 AM

I voted for the 328i.. hey.. someone needs to. heh..

I think the G37 leases out better though

they are both considered sport sedans and come in around the same price.

kyleb350 · 07-15-2011, 12:19 PM

If he wants to get an sti, he's not going to want a 328

Kiemyster · 07-15-2011, 12:39 PM

I voted for the 328i.

Of course, im the Proud owner of an 06 AW 320i and an 06 325xi. I have no shame, I demand quality in my cars. Id commit suicide in that subaru's interior. Over the last month, ive fallen in love with my 325xi finally. You could never find me in a car that wasn't a bmw, only exception are lancer evos, fuck the subarus.

Tell him get an Evo.

MediaArtist · 07-15-2011, 01:04 PM

Is it me or does cross shopping these cars seem strange?

STI, race bred rally car.

328i, fairly tame, entry level luxury car.
