2011 Subaru STI Review

[cococly]

The new one does look nicer than some of the older gens.

The 2011 WRX sedan is slightly faster crossing the 1/4 mile O.o" [13.8 @ 98.2 vs 13.8 @ 97.4 of 2011 STi]

STi fan boys can try to hide all they want, but truth be told EVO is always faster

actually...


the STI was faster around the track than the regular evo X in this test. showed on the lap time board.

ever since mitsu introduced the rear AYC.. the evo... turns better.

I was under the impression that JDM STI has always been faster than JDM evo.

yea, the regular evo X compared the regular STI was slower on the top gear test track.. (i thought the evo was supposed to be faster. but it wasnt.. )

and dude, the spec C has the fastest time in that video! LOL they were running reverse grid order.. fastest car starts at back.

jackygor// the only evo that i could think of that seemed slower than STi was.. the evo 7! and the earlier ones that were before the evo 3..

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

that was the time attack result, slower by 0.20 seconds


the actual track result GSR was faster than sti by 2. something seconds



edit:

nvm i see what you meant

best lap spec C 1:04.49 total 5:33.40

while GSR best lap 1:05.20 total 5:31.54

[cococly]

It is going to be another long argument...

Something like 0.2sec/0.1sec/1mph slower/faster :S

[RCubed]

who cares, theyre both great cars.

[Gh0stRider]

04/05 STI are the best loooking ones.

[iamed]

Both are great cars but what made me choose the STI over the EVO was practicality. The trunk space in the EVO is very limited with its relocated battery/ windshield fluid reservoir the backseats doesn't fold. The Recaros hold very firm however are a pain to get in and out. Additionally the interior on the EVO seemed cheap and did I mention the EVO is more expensive? The STI just seemed to be a better rounded car.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

i havent bother looking up the prices for EVO, i know they are more expensive



subie are actually pretty cheap

WRX starting $32g

while STi starts $37g and top model is $42g. for sti tunned suspension etc.

Basically no options to add to these cars, so pretty straight forward


IMO

i rather buy the $37g Sti model, and upgrade the others myself. 6 pot bbk, coilovers, exhaust, cobb ecu etc later on

Ditto!

I cross shopped both cars and I just cant justify the extra $4k for the EVO, being a 5psd vs 6spd.

Both cars have its merits and downfalls..
Now if the EVO is closer to the STI price like the states, then this will be a different story and the decision will be very hard one to make.

Agreed. You're buying a car, not a track time.

I don't know many owners of any type of car that go racing often enough, or seriously enough, for this minor performance difference to matter. And those that do usually make modifications anyway.

[Ikkaku]

...or the slight 'track time' difference is often compromised by driver skill.

[gilly]

im really liking the widebody styling.

EVO's are insanely priced. lowest model starting at $41K

i saw a nice 04 STI for sale, but asking $33K...geez. Stealership no wander

2011 black STi sedan spotted on kingsway and patterson

[freelunch]

I love mine, upgraded to a sport tech sedan from an ep3 civic and this car is light years ahead in everything; comfort, performance, and still practical. With the seats down you can easily fit four wheels and tires with room to spare.

Wheres the Bugeye Love?






I admit, the JDM version of the bugeyes looks much better than the USDM, but I still luv the GD chassis over the new GR

Except for the fact that the new GR have such nice wide fenders for some really aggressive wheel setups
