Default Cnet STI Review

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Wagon reviews - CNET Reviews

Keep in mind that cnet is tech oriented and probably dont know how to properly drive this car. However, the sti got a very good score.

Off topic - but the reviewer's test road was the Bolinas-Fairfax road
in Marin county, California. Anyone living in the SF Bay area needs
to make a pilgrimage to this beautifully twisty stretch of empty pavement.

What!? Any proof/link of this? I never knew that. Maybe I should take a look at my owner's manual.

To clarify the OT part of this thread, the 07 STi's head unit was the first to play MP3s, and the first to come with an integrated iPod jack.

Back to the topic.

That made much more sense. Now I remember putting MP3 CDs into my stock HU and it didn't work.
