Agreed. The Impreza is a overweight 4 door saloon, that has a heavy 4WD system, and only a slight power advantage over the rest.

That's why a Lotus Elise with only 134bhp is so fast.

It's also why when Evo put the new 06 STI against a Vectra and BMW 3 series, the STI was ONLY slightly quicker, and had to be driven to it's limits to get any advantage over a Bloody Vauxpoo !!!!

Quite evenly matched. S204 was doing alright, until he ran wide.

Was funny watching them bouncing up and down in their seats for more speed.

plus the fact that the other cars have decent handling, subaru don't seem to be bothered about improving the handling, just relying on the amount of grip it has. The R32 was soo much tighter though the corners.
