Well, boo hoo for scoobies!

"Lets be honest shall we. It's uglier than a war wound"
"Far too soft and wollowy(sp)"

Then he goes and does sick 'nuts around the WRX sti with the evo haha

STi: 1:28.2. I could not make out what he said for the FQ300


From watching the footage, the wrx really seemed to be a pile of understeering body roll

Discuss ?!

1:28.6 I believe. It was slower anyway...
Which was surprising because the WRX really did look slower, especially going round hammerhead with 5 buckets of understeer.

I think an STi in world rally blue with gold wheels would look ok... The red one they tested on TG looked like ass though.

The Evo did a time of 1:28.22 so was the tinyest bit slower.

The STi is quite good just is ugly i like the front but the rear is well not nice.

hopefully they bring out a revised model soon though.

Even though it was 'slower' around the track i'd still rather the evo.

Does anyone here have a new rexxy? Are they happy/regretting their purchase?

The STI was 7K POUND cheaper than the Evo they tested against - You put that 7KPound towards Suspension work and see where you'd end up... Remembering just how much 7K pound is.

The sedan looks like  hyundai.

The STI was 7K POUND cheaper than the Evo they tested against - You put that 7KPound towards Suspension work and see where you'd end up... Remembering just how much 7K pound is.
Not sure that you would get AUD 14Ks worth of work for GBP 7K in the UK - you may get quite a bit less. Subaru's aren't as numerous (ie. as popular a brand) over there as they are here, and the UK is generally more expensive - although Australia is a lot closer than it used to be.

I imagine though that what you could get for GBP 7K would still get the STI handling a lot better...

Yep i got one.

And yes it is a bite sh!t in std form. IE....... too soft, too slow, too quiet.

I have done things to counter these issues.

*Set of super low king springs

* Bypass the faarrken huge rear muffler

* Take the front of the air box off.

So i now have a car that sounds good, and handles awesome........ still workin on the power issue!!! I did come from a stroked and worked B4, so its got a bit to go to get that power

quoted for emphasis, you did have a 2.2 litre monster so thats a fair different to a FACTORY tuned wrx with all emissions and a subtle tune. also power figure is ONLY 169kw and it still gets to 100 in under 6 sec.

But have you sent he pics of the sedan.....fugly, looked like a Tiida. I viewed them before the MY08 hit our shores so they may have changed it slightly. The hatch look is here to stay I think, just look at the success of the BMW hatch and Focus XR5.

PS: Me and some Subaru guys were flogging one around (RS) pre-delivery to the Cop Body Shop. Was fun. They are still an awesome car, so I agree with the guys above.
