Pretty cool.

WRB/Gold is sick. I need to see a White on Gold one.

Now i'm definitely getting one. Performance numbers are just where i want them to be. Quicker then the last Evo through the cones. Stopping in 106 ft instead of 115ft and best of all 0 - 60 times of 4.8 sec and 1/4 mile of 13.3 on 91 octance. In NY we use 93 so the car will be even quicker. Great job Subaru!!

it does look plush around corners (which i dont mind since a majority of us buy the sti for DD) but he is right.. the numbers do not lie

For weeks/months lots of people on here have been crying like a little kid who just got their sucker stolen because it's a hatch or because of the looks. Now Edmunds of all reviews, says it has the minerals. That last line is perfect to me

You can whine and complain all you want about the Subaru WRX STI's new look and more refined ride but the truth is all the changes make it a much better performance car.

Nice numbers.... If those dunlops are really crap as people have said the new car is a big improvement. Good job Subaru! Looking forward to reviews from R & T and the likes.
