Default STI vs. M Coupe ?

Hey guys,

Wow, I have not been on this forum since I sold my S.

Quick question.
Which one would you buy as a daily driver?

2008 STI 30,000km vs. 2007 M coupe 70,000km?


STI
1. All-wheel drive
2. Boxer engine with 305hp + 300lbs torque
3. Huge cargo space
4. 4 seats + 4 doors
5. Low quality interior & stereos

M coupe
1. Rear-wheel drive
2. Inline 6 engine with 333hp + 262lbs torque
3. Small cargo space
4. 2 seats + 2 doors
5. High quality interior & stereos
7. Better insulation for less noise
6. BMW badge

What would you choose?

its a no brainer since you asked which one you'd pick as a daily..

If money was barely a factor, that M would be mine over an STi

Was your S your daily? Did you have any problems with it as a DD? If the answer is NO, then get the Z4MC for sure!

I just can't get into the interior and even the exterior appearance of the STi, great powertrain and chasis but I do not like the look of them. The M looks so much nicer to me.

Agreed.

However if the STI looked like this it would have my vote.
