2018 Subaru WRX STI Pros and Cons

Back in the early 2000’s Subaru released the WRX on the North American market and made a big impact on the sports car industry in that moment. Soon after that, it launched STI model which was even faster than the original model. In addition, they launched even more powerful model, the turbo power all-wheel unit which is one step ahead of the STI. However, the current model of the WRX STI is a little bit outdated and it appears that Subaru finally decided to redesign this model and the biggest modification should be seen under the hood. Although there is scarce information about it there is enough to write a review. We proudly present the 2018 Subaru WRX STI with all its pros and cons.

On one hand the WRX STI is a tremendous performance value for the money, but for the money it is not that well engineered or that high quality in its details.

They will continue to be aspirational vehicles to the true believers who love them as is.

My question: Why not a Legacy WRX?

Or rather, a Legacy STI (in your original post). Though.. the Legacy is a big car and too heavy to be performant. Even the 3.6R is slow.

Legacy WRX? That's like saying a Focus Mustang? They are car names. Japan does have hotter Legacy's. Just not here sadly.

No, you dimwit! It's like Audi S3 and S4. The WRX is often referred to as the "Impreza WRX" by fans, media, and Subaru itself. It is a TRIM level.

I would kill for an updated Legacy GT Spec B. GD, even a Legacy GT would be on my hit list. One of the funnest test drives I've ever done was in a Legacy GT. Sadly, the wife couldn't drive a stick shift.

The Impreza and the WRX are different cars. That wasn't the case in past generations. It is the case this generation. Maybe what you mean is an Impreza STI.

Man, I love these half-assed carslane.com articles. Content-free filler thrown together by the grammatically impaired, providing about as much in terms of news as my dog does when I let it out in the mornings. Do you guys have some sort of "you link to me, I'll link to you" deal going? I can't believe I'm saying this, but the quality of these articles is actually dragging you down.
