High praise for the driving dynamics of the Subie.

Sweet vid....

I expected all the results there. I think the previous WRX will hold some value due to the 5 spd and being faster - for a certain crowd.

Impressive for both though.

 

[outshined]

The end was pretty sweet.

It's .8 secs slower to 60, and .5 secs slower in the quarter mile. People who read only magazines to see what car they want will not be amused.

 

[Imtired]

6:30 - Looks worse than ever, and in 5 years I'll think it looks pretty good.

WRX is not as fast as I'd hoped... also that FWD peel out :laugh: So much for "Symmetrical" AWD BS

for those that don't know, yes, but those that know - know that the trans is a total piece of shit in that car (the prior gen WRX, not the new one)

Thoughts, Herr Kata??

Agree, the transmission sicks, but as a whole the current WRX is a splendid performer for its price point. Fast as hell because of that damn transmission to 60.

WRX are and always have been ugly. But it is a good ugly. Like the Panamera. Angry frog, but a goddamn sexy angry frog. WRX is a sexy ugly similar to that.

You're the best.

agreed on all, simply stating from a quality and durability standpoint, that older trans blows balls.


"now where's the fucking wagon!?"
