So I found an STI i liked after looking at 6!!, have had it for about 2 months and just the other day I noticed a random switch under the center console, any ideas? I haven't noticed any lights / sounds or performance changes. It is an 07 STI (JDM- EJ207) manual fyi Also, just to keep this thread somewhat interesting, I ordered these in 18x9.5 +38 (the blue ones)

Update, I drove a 2012 WRX Premium spec for a weekend trip, loved it. But I decided not to get it due to a dodgy history. its been two weeks and there hasn't been any others up for sale that tick all the boxes. I have since started looking at 07-09 STI's and have found a stock 07 with 48000 km's at a reasonable price. There has already been a compression test done, see attached. I now know that there has been an issue with ring land failure on these cars, what would you say about the compression test? #4 is lower than the others, should I be worried? I've read several threads on other forums stating how sh!t the subaru's pistons / tuning seems to be. P.s, I am looking at the JDM 2.0 liter motors and not the inferior 2.5 as some people would say V2263822638-VAM Vehicle Appraisal.pdf

Just minor mods, stock suspension. Its the top spec model below the "nismo" so it has the firmer suspension and Brembo brakes but nothing too special. I only like the appeal of the STI because of the bigger brakes, and nicer interior. I am worried that going from a 300hp car to 265hp? car will disappoint me, however I test drove a 2007 S-GT and was happy with the acceleration off the mark, its just flat through the middle / upper rev range.

Quick intro, I currently have Nissan 350Z which I am selling. I have looked at quite a few different options as to what I should buy next and I have narrowed it down to two choices. 2011 WRX 2.5 Hatchback or an 07/08 WRX STI Hatchback (manual of course). The newer WRX is $27K where as the STI's range from $27 - $30 dependant on mileage. What is the better car all round? The WRX because its newer and has less mileage or an older STI with slightly higher mileage? It will be my daily driver for the next 2-3 years. Your thoughts?
