In this day and age, you really can't expect to win over the auto industry without starting on the internet. That's where fanatics endlessly spend their time searching for used parts or engine upgrades, where all the marketing is done and where opinions are formed. So what does the internet think of the new WRX STI? Surely this is a car for the Gymkhana fans out there.
Well,not really. SubaruWRXfan is among the biggest voices in the online Subaru community. He currently owns a BRZ and post regular updates about repairs, mods and the reliability of his car. So what does he think of the 2015 STI?
According to him, it's a disappointment. The 2.5-liter turbo is the same engine with the same output as the 2014, despite the car being heavier. The wing is also too big and it's a shame that you'll only be able to get it in blue with gold wheels if you order one of the 1000 launch editions. We could have said the same thing, but hearing it from a fan of the brand is that much more powerful a message for Subaru to do something.
You have to admit, 305 horsepower coming from Subaru's sportiest car is disappointing. The entry-level Mustang has about as much from a 2.3-liter turbo.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
