I think the rear looks very bland and 'boring Jap rep-mobile', just with added E90 M3 tailpipes. I do, however, like the front styling a lot.

Just seen the side profile picture, could that rear quarter get any more 3 series?

Sorry but couldn't pay £33k for a car that ugly, why not get a GTI if your spending this amount- it's got a bit of class. All IMO of course.

what gti? a golf? ermm this would piss
on a golf.

oh well the looks, interior and overall quality piss on a Subaru.

i think you are missing the point of why people would want to buy an impreza sti, usually they dont want to spend good money on a blandmobile as they prefer more outlandish looks and are generally more interested in performance than image.

fine then, Put a body kit on the golf and tune it.

lol, but it would still be a dull as dish water blandmobile Golf....

In the past, Subaru could make kak looking cars that drove well and get away with it because they were quite well priced, but as has been mentioned earlier on this thread, the price could be a major stumbling block when you look at what's on offer from the competition.

Definitely a marmite car.

I've only just worked out why I don't like the side. Its the windows. They have a frame round them and look Mk3 Escort. They need to be frameless for a smooth modern look. The hatch has grown on me. I'd consider a hatch if It wasn't for those lexus tail lights!

[stirl]

A dull looking Toyota type affair

[superman84]

I think you've grabbed the complete wrong end of the stick there.
The poster originally said that the Golf GTi was better than the Impreza then came out with above crap about Subaru being a step up from Vauxhall.

Would choose this any day of the week! looks 10 times better for a start!

Looks like a fridge crossed with a storm-trooper. A £10 filled Oyster card would be preferable.

You are so right, that WRX is fugly, even the bug eyed version looked better.

"The new WRX STI's suspension is the key to all the fun. It is essentially an adapted version of the Japanese spec.C suspension, tuned to a slightly softer edge for European roads.


That means a lower ride height, stiffer springs and bushes, and thicker anti-roll bars at both ends. "

Surely these measures makes the ride a bit harder than the Japanese model? Much nicer looking thing than the hatchback though, shame they killed the Impreza name, though. I presume that's because it's always been known as the WRX STi in America?

[GravelBen]

I think they mean those differences relative to the UK model being replaced, which was softer and not as sharp as other markets.

[AndySpecD]

Well I like it.

Great that Subaru are offering the WRX STI as a saloon again although don't understand why they've ditched the Impreza name.

I want one!
