Motivemag review of new STI.........

motivemagazine.com - Motive First Drive: 2008 Subaru WRX STI

BTW, the name John Paul Jr. surfaces in this review.........what a driver in his day. A bittersweet story indeed--but he was a wonderful driver to watch.

I like reading the reviews, but where do these guys get their information? "14.7 psi of boost instead of 11.9"

Uhh, guys, didn't your common sense kick in and think that perhaps a 12 horsepower gain from 2.8 psi was unlikely?

Same with the JDM twin scroll. Although given how many times I've seen that now, I'm sure they're just regurgitating bad information from Subaru marketing material.

"...a quick glance at the speedo confirms that, yes indeed, we are hauling some serious ass. "

A review of the stereo and Navigation would be nice but no one has mentioned either yet.

Yeah i noticed that some of these car mags always tend to mess up the numbers. That aside, after being on the fence for so long, i am really starting to warm up to the car. It may be the positive reviews that are starting to come out, but its like all of a sudden something clicked and i am starting to see way passed the unattractiveness of the hatch.
