V7 sti hatch or sedan?

[EviLClouD]

Hey quick question. Whats the difference between the v7 sti hatch and sedan? From what i can find, only the sedan has brembos and its slightly more powerful? Which would you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance

[Guest]

sedan would be lighter as well

[funkytown]

they v7 sti have the same power in both flavors.

the sedan has brembos and the more aggresive 'sti' wheels. They also have the wider front gaurds and front bumper, and a slight increase in track

....because its a Sport hatch glad to note no mention of wagons here , cause that is just WRONG

Do a search this very question was asked a few months ago.

IMO wagons are just cooler.

But thats just me

trollolololol tooo

[NTYCME]

yeah go the wagons haha, however im putting all sti bits onto mine lol

[Pappu1]

they both go abt the same in terms of street driving anyway

get the wagon if u need space and then put sedan guards on it

[johnny5]

sedans rock hard

[Zitchu]

Quick question, whats the point of swapping the front guards over, is there a quick fix for the rears that I'm not aware of? Wouldn't they need alot of rolling/flaring done to match once the STI guards are up front?

[Eight_dollar]

point of swapping the gaurds is to make it looker way better lol

[Zitchu]

Apart from that haha.

Sports hatch FTW!!!

And the sedan has 225 width wheels, 215 on Sports Hatch

Meaning make it look 10x better lol

But yea it's just aesthetic difference on looks really

As said before performance wise not much if any between them. I have driven both stock form and pretty similar ay

Plus wider track and less weight over the rear axle means the sedan handles better.

[Guest]

think its more to do with less glass and less weight in the rear end?

whats the weight ratio and weight difference between the two, anyone?

[newsuba]

According to the NZ spec sheet both weigh the same !

1430kg

Plus wagons inherantly have more flex than sedans due to their shape/construction.

[funkytown]

Until they're caged .. but speculation is.they have better aerodynamics.

obviously higher center of gravity too

GD wagon boot is narrower than the sedan. So actually, I can fit my bicycle in the boot of my sedan, but not in the wagon!

[Kiwi_Fozze]

if you want to talk body flex, try throwing a forester into a corner with no rear strut brace...

v8 sti wagon would be nice, but they didnt f**king make them.... stink.

some of the gf8 wagons i've seen scrub up nicely.

personally, if it wasnt for all the crap i usually have to lug around, i'd go for the sedan every time.
