Sounds like you want me to be disappointed?
We LOVE it. Will get a more detailed review up soon - but give me a chance buddy - we've only had it since Sunday afternoon!
Oh - and my wife LOVES it. She has the pleasure of driving it at the moment. I even got a text this morning from her telling me how much she loves it (the car that is!) lol.

Does look nice
The sound systems always poor. Just need the 340R upgrade and that's a much better soundtrack

I like it allot, Firm suspension, steering seems to have more feedback and is certainly stiffer. engine seems to have plenty of low down get up and go but top end seems a little vague, I'm hoping a pro-r kit would see to that.
Driving position for me is a bit of an issue, being 6ft 4 the seat seems to close to the dash and doesn't go back far enough compared to my hatch. and my feet are to big to get between the clutch pedal and the gearbox tunnel to make use of the foot rest without getting stuck.
the drl's would have been better in the headlamps on the sidelamps rather than a dual fog lamp setup, but that can soon be altered.
Other than that would I buy one. Yes but I'd have to sort the seat out as it annoys me.

It's really good to see and hear positive comments on this car. Hopefully it'll be a success. Personally I really like it and have seriously considered one after selling a hawk sti a while ago. I've just been tempted back into a late blob sti again but who knows in the future particularly if these turn out to be good. I was just worried they would just feel like most other new cars but clearly subaru have found something again. Enjoy them guys

If the 2015 WRX makes 20% more power then when can we have a 360 bhp DIT STI for the UK ?
dunx
P.S. It will need all of that to usurp a 340 bhp bug-eye....

So what fuel are you all using. It now says 98RON on the filler. Hmmm maybe IM are admitting the 2.5 doesn't like super. V power and tesco Momentum all the way.

It's used to say 97 I think there just making sure this time. My WRX-s said 95 lol but when I sold it garage said I should have been using 98..
So do you guys get any variations on the stereo it looks like a slightly differing version of the 2010 unit, if it is, then get a pioneer in the hole, because it sounds really good once you do that, the Subaru speakers are quite good considering stock...

If you'd read the owners handbook for the MY2011on model it also stated 98RON only.
If you then had the 320R or 340R remaps they were done on 97RON
