I don't think I follow you here. Do you mean to say the Audi will require more repairs?
The reason I prefer the STI over the WRX is because of the strong 6 speed and the better suspension. I feel going with the WRX would be compromising, and that isn't something I really want to do on a new car. I want to make sure I get something I will be very happy with. I have been straying away from the Subaru though because of some reliability issues I have been reading about. It would appear that ringland failures are a common issue. I am still reading up on reliability a bit.
Thanks for the link and the spreadsheet. I like how you compared the total cost, as well as cost per mile. I am going to make my own little spreadsheet and throw some other vehicles up there lol.
