That said, the 2.0 is a great engine... we have one of each so I can see the benefit of both!

The 2.5 probably can't be pushed as far as the 2.0, but that doesn't mean it is bad!

Interesting point on the WRX vs STi. I've seen people push a 2.5 WRX too far. I've seen people push a 2.0 WRX too far, but you could well be right that in more standard form the WRX didn't have issues in the same way as the STi.

Don't think I've helped at all!
Me neither lol.
