Default 08 defects

There are actually some problems with the 08's that hopefully subaru fixed for 09. On my 08, ive been through 4 clutches, 3 factory defective, a rear dif, and a new transmission. They put in a new clutch when they replaced the diff and tranny. Basically subaru made the 08 sedans at least not to be modded according to the guy at subaru so the parts cant handle the extra power that I put in. 09 is supposedly more reenforced to handle mods.

i read through this thread and was just wondering: exactly what size turbo does the 09 have? is it a VF34 !?!?

i currently have an 05 STi with a 20G, meth, open source tuned and FMIC'd. my car has kept me happy thoughout it's 54,000 miles.

is it messed up of me to go out and trade it in for an 09 WRX !?!?

is that considered a "downgrade" !?!?

and just FYI, i wouldn't pay $40K for an 08 STi. but i would for an 08 EVO.

help me out guys.

For what it's worth...I have an '09 WRX. I like the car very much. But I in no way will dog any previous models (including the '08). My favorite impreza is still the late-90s 2.5RS, even though it has much less power, etc etc etc...

All cars change, some things get better, some things get worse, nobody ever likes redesigns, and so on.

I like the 09 sedan because it is low-key and not attention-getting. Nobody notices it, nobody knows how fast it is, even stock. I think the back looks like a KIA. I think the side lines look alot like early TSX's....it's still kind of funky looking but in a sleeper kind of way. I think it's a nice-looking car, but I care less about that than the performance, which I've been pleased with so far (I am an autocrosser/road racer who will be using this car at the track frequently, even in near-stock form)...

And when the next body style comes out in a few years, I'll probably be saying "damn that thing is ugly" and so on, just like the previous generation guys are saying about the 08+.....that's just the way car forums work - ALL car forums!
