Okay, there really are that many WRXs, and most of them didn't come to America.  Still, which one would you pick?

I picked Version 5-6.  Consequently, I'm going to be buying the rest of the front end conversion parts this summer to make mine look like one.

Unfortunately I don't know much about the ones that never crossed the pond. I like 5-6 and 7.

I know nothing about WRX's but the 5-6 is wild looking so I picked it.

The V1-2 had 240 hp, then emissions brought it down to 215-225, depending on the model, then the V4-6 had a bump again.  The STi had 280 hp*.  They all weighed between 2,500-2,900 lbs., depending on which model until the bugeye, which weighed 3,200 lbs., and it's been going up until the V10 model. 

The new ones have much more structural rigidity, but also weigh a ton more, so it about equals out, even though the old ones have proven to be quicker (except for the 2.5 liter USDM STI).  I hope that helps a little.

I like 5-6, and I've torn up some Forza series with that car. Is it the only one to come in a coupe trim?

Gen 9 FTW.

Version 9 for me too.  Most evolved of the species so far, and I'm sure my car can hang with some of the version1-6 STIs, other than the P1 or 22b.

It came in sedan and wagon trim, too, but you never see them like that.

5-6, followed by 10 if it looks anything like that CG of the STi that was posted here.
