I would disagree on the aspro 2.5 four. It's got lots of low end power and can be dragged around town in high gear all day. The turbo 2.0 has NO low end grunt, and thusly, turbo lag is a huge problem. I understand the turbo 2.5 has no such problem and the STi can suck the headlamps out of a 911 without much difficulty.
