No problems.
The Subaru WRX Sti is finally here, and it's all that anyone could want in a car and more. The performance of this car makes you feel like you can fly. With an amazing zero to sixty time of 4.5-5 seconds flat, and a maximum top speed of around 160 mph, this is no toy! The all wheel drive system allows extreme pickup and unbeatable speed like no other car. The performatnce is wonderful with awesome engine sound. If you are into street racing, try this car! Haha...
Nice car the scooby, but still not as quick as the Evo VIII FQ 330!
Evo 8 330 a lot more money than sti.
Once you drive the STi, you won't want to drive anything else. It likes curvy roads even better than the highway; just what I have where I live. Definitely a car to keep for many years.
The STI is definitly a better car than the Evo. The STI has a lot more comfort and a lot more horsepower.
I strongly agree that the Subaru Impreza, WRX STI is possibly in the top 5 world's best cars. It can out excel any porsche, and with 0-60 time 4.5-5 seconds. It can outrun even a viper with 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds. It is even cheaper than most cars, like mustang. I think a car that can beat almost any car on the road, and cheaper than most cars. It's possibly one of the world's best cars.
What does 0-60 matter! That's done with in the first 2 gears its the overtaking capability of these great cars which makes them great!

STi and its Boxer engine is amazing. Does anyone know the size of the Boxer engine they put into it?
Those body decals (of the Subaru logo, what have you) that are part of the paint job also add a unique appearance to the car.
Sti more horsepower than an evo 8? don't bother with 0-60 times its in between the gears and speed into and out of corners that wins races not the pull off the line.
Which muppet said the Impreza is one of the world's top 5 best cars?! It's good, but not THAT good. Get a grip.
Realistically you won't get a 4.5 second 0-60 time in these cars... unless, of course, you want to replace your clutch every 2,000 miles. Check out Car and Driver's article... they were smelling a lot of burnt clutch material when they FINALLY got a 4.6 0-60 sprint out of the STi. They definately didn't recommend trying that at home! And what idiot said a Viper goes 0-60 in 5.2 seconds... The last I checked it was just over 4 seconds... and that is a doable time without trashing the clutch! the STi is an awesome machine, but you have to take the hype and the advertising as it is... otherwise you might think the Dodge NEON SRT-4 is a good car!!
This car is not for street racing. The car is rally bred which makes it the complete opposite. Like the above said about the clutch. It is not made for flat out 0-60 runs all day. Try another vehicle for street racing.
It may not be made for 0-60 runs, but it will get there VERY quickly consistently. As the happy owner of a 2006 STI I can say I CANNOT stop driving this car. It is so much fun compared to mustangs and camaros and the like. And yes, I've owned them. This car rocks!!
I totally agree. Not every car is designed for 0 - 60 runs. I have an Impreza RS with upgraded tires, soon to be replaced by a WRX or STI. The car is truly in its element on B roads with lots of curves, and that is what I like doing best. If I wanted pure muscle with no handling I would have bought a Mustang and would never consider a new STI/WRX.
Out 'accel' any Porsche? I think not. Even the 2003 911Ts can pull a 4.0 with little tweaking. It can beat most Porsches from the 80's if that's what you mean, but you don't blow $130,000 on a car that can be passed by a $30k Subaru.
The STi has excellent acceleration right out of the showroom, and marginal room to make performance modifications, within reason. All in all, an awesome supercar for the money.
