2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI?

Question

so that do you think of the 5 door model? was it a good or bad change??

Answer 1

NOT BAD, IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW SUBARU SHOULD HAD MADE IT CHECK OUT, [e-mail]

Answer 2

thats the best car and driver stated it as the fastest STI ever tested i personally think its better especially the 09' model was better than the 08' cause they fixed a suspension problem i love it its really fckin s**y as a hatchback considering its gonna be better in cornering but overall its nice wayyyyyyyyyy better than the Evo X which will have a hard time fitting in because it no longer bares the 4G63 and the body style but the STi im saving up for one =] asfor the body for those who dont like it the reason why it looks like that is to enhance its performance =]

Answer 3

It's a good step foreward, and kind of a testament to Subaru's dedication to performance. The reason they offer it in a hatchback now is largely due to them wanting to shorten the overall length of the vehicle for competition in WRC. The result is a very quick and nimble car with better weight balance/transfer and tighter turning radius than the previous STI's.

Unfortunately for many (myself included) it seems all the time was spent on R&D for mechanics and performance (which is where it matters don't get me wrong), but I wish they would have taken more time on the asthetics to make it a more unique looking hatch that stands out (or still offer the sedan for that matter). There really is no denying it, when the average person sees one it looks like a focus with a hood and wide fenders....

Answer 4

I like it. I just bought a 2008 WRX yesterday and it's the 5 door. Lot's of room and I think it looks good. Only downside is cant do a traditional spoiler but there's alot of things you can still do. I'm gonna use the h**l out of my bike rack and I got thing net storage thing in the back and I fit 590$ worth of grocerys in the back with no problems (only put the eggs and my on-the-way-home munchies up front with me) :D
