'05 White/Silver picked up May 7th.

BluePigRacing · 05-12-2004, 05:34 AM

I traded in my '03 WRB WRX. The WRX was a good car but it was just a toy compared to the STi. 300 miles and counting...come on 1000. I'm going to talk with the '04 owners in my area and see if they want to do a comparison test. There were rumors of steering ratio changes and suspension changes to provide a smoother ride. We shall see.

Anybody know if boost lag is less then the 04? The dealer told me it was a lot better, but then again, they would say anything to make a sale! Please let me know how it rides/takes off

Thanks!

I don't think there are any changes for the '05, engine-wise.

The only thing I'd hope is that they resolved the pinging problems the early 04s had on certain fuel.

Where are all the reports of individuals that have 05's? Curious to know differences in handling and how they compare to the 04.
