Subaru's new Impreza STi | Features | 4car | channel4.com

 

Very good balanced review that, though I think the 2nd paragraph sums up the risk Subaru are taking......

"Yes, it still has a flat-four engine and four-wheel drive, but most mainstream hatchback buyers don't care about that. So Subaru is in danger of alienating its loyalists with no guarantee of bringing in newcomers. And if that's a questionable move for the mainstream versions, it could be doom for the hottest one."

 

sounds very much like a failed atempt to broaden the market for the impreza. and in doing so they have even put off the loyalists, very silly of them

 

The styling is almost Mazda esque to me.

 

I don't think they'll be getting my cash.

 

Ahhh i feel like its 2001 all over again

Yeah, me too.

I'll wait for the next revision, they tend to get it right after a few releases

 

I still think we'll get the saloon in Europe when this one flops.

 

The best review so far...

Would you want to pay £400 road tax on top of that as well....
