who would buy that :confused: ? id take a M3 instead

The ESX cars are generally regarded as an embarrassment to the Suby tuning community. The car is extremely overpriced for what it offers.

I personally hate the exterior paint/striping and the red wheels (I do like the spoke design though). The black/red seats are a nice change of pace from the blue/black that we get.

Personally, I would take the extra money spent on this car and get a regular STI. Then I would purchase some new wheels & tires, throw on a turbo back exhaust, pick up a Cobb Accessport (or Ecutek), grab some Cusco bars and call it a day. My car would be significantly cheaper and perform better. But, what the hell do I know.

Hell no! The cost is too excessive for such a car.

vtec9 04-04-2006 05:28 AM

an idiot that likes red wheels

clayzS2k 04-04-2006 08:28 AM

Over here where I live those ESX's are sold in a heartbeat and they do frequent the show room floor. The rich folks drop 45-50grand on it for their 17 yr old child that just passed the permit test.

DimaK321 04-04-2006 08:38 AM

wow, almost Z06 territory pricing

you have to be a STI fanbois to even consider this

Erick S 04-04-2006 09:49 AM

No way...IMHO I could do alot better with 60K...

Clayman 04-04-2006 09:50 AM

No way. No chance in hell I'd buy a $60k modified STi. I like those cars a lot, but for the extra $30k, I'll either buy a different car or go on vacation. You've gotta have Subi just coarsing through your veins to even consider such a thing.

geoff2005 04-04-2006 12:16 PM

:LOL: o yeah sti and subie fanboys would forgot about those people

mastamind 04-04-2006 12:28 PM

Even the fanboys don't have much love for the ESX because it doesn't provide the monumental leap in performance one would expect from the huge price increase.

why would I buy an M3 when even the $30K version of the Sti out performs it?

Amer 04-04-2006 10:44 PM

I myself would take the M3 in a heart beat. Its not just about performance. ;)

gomarlins3 04-05-2006 06:02 AM

It's o.k., but not worth anything close to that price in my book.

Well, I am sure there is quite a few people on this board who has spent over $30k on their S. No everyone is so limited by money. If the like the car they want and spend money to get a unique car what's wrong with it?

I still think the S2000 is a bargin at $32K... I bought my first S2000 for $5000 over MSRP the day it came out and it is worth $37000. Especially since it was dominating cars in its class that were in the $50K range (aka over priced BMW's)

I think you guys are loosing track of the fact that this version of the STI is geared for collectors (people with a lot of money) and at the rate that we

kpxguy411 05-11-2006 07:27 AM

Waste of money. Get the M3.
