Car and Driver magazine have done a comparison test between the MkV R32, EVO and STI.

Attached is a PDF of the article. I split it into two parts to keep it under the size limit for uploads.

Enjoy!

Default New STI Review on Bloomberg.com

Hi there,

New on the site, but a long time Subie owner/fan.

I work at this company and get access to the news as it comes out, and lo and behold a new review. Non biased towards anything except driving.

Read up and enjoy.

I don't see how any reviewer can criticize the handling of this car on any surface. It goes where you point it, period. Frankly, it's much better on the highway at speed than the Legacy Outback, whose rear end tends to hop around on uneven surfaces. In the STi, I have no trouble sipping my tea in cruise control at 75 mph.

As for the aesthetics, there are a gazillion small hatchbacks out there. Plus some larger ones that look alot like the STi, such as the Acura SUVs. If the STi is ugly, it's got a ton of company. So who really cares? It's a waste of ink for reviewers to go into that crap, especially since its all subjective.

Is it overpriced? Absolutely. So show me a sports car with 300+ horsepower that isn't. It's a niche market and it will be priced accordingly.
