Should I switch from 06 S2k to '16 STI?

I appreciate everyone's opinions.
Everyone's got valid points.
If I want a fast car, I should may be consider V8 muscles.
I did test drive a v8 mustang but honestly I didn't find it all that wonderful.
It felt a bit clumsy.
Vettes are beautiful cars but z06s with less than 30k miles are still in the mid $40grand range.
That is unfortunately something I cannot afford right now...
I also test drove the EVO x and the STI.
EVO was fast, and it was very exciting to drive but the interior was just disappointing.
And despite STI's reputation for their engine issues, I still trust them more than Mitsubishi.
That is why I am considering the STI.
370zs are cool but it isn't appealing enough to trade my s2k for it.
I'm seriously considering keeping my s2000 though.
It's a lovely car and it's a better financial choice to keep it than getting the STI.
It just sucks because my car won't worth much as I keep racking miles above +100K...
But I guess the STI isn't worth the price tag. I also hate how everyone has the new WRX/STI.
I really like it too though haha

Considering the cost of a new STi I think you'll be let down after the initial thrill is over. If tuning is you thing, perhaps a less expensive car will provide more tuning budget? Pput some money into your S2000 and get a 2nd car you can afford.

I've looked but there aren't many.
Of course CLA AMG is the best 4 cylinder turbo car out right now but that's way too expensive...

Focus RS but good luck getting one. Golf R is another option.

"Better than an STI"??? I'll leave that to others to debate. My point is there are many choices. How many have you driven??
A Golf GTi. You can just buy a piggy back or reflash to get the power you want.
A BMW 228i with the M Sport package. New is $36K sticker.
Audi S3 as suggested above. When I test drove one last summer, the salesman was offering all sorts of discounts.
Mustang Eco Boost.
Fiesta ST
Focus ST
Focus RS
Mini Cooper
