The external appearance of the preliminary model photographs looked remarkably helplessly, leaving no spark in the soul and the desire to possess. At full-time meeting enough just a couple of reflections from dark-blue paint, to draw attention from afar. The closer to this car approached, the more we want to know about it. It's not just Impreza, but a new version of the legendary WRX STI.
Contours of the body parts look very harmonious, and the blind can soffits, but the front part does not look so absurd, as it was earlier. Theodoros Zapatinas who changed the Alfa-Romeo and made the Italian firm notes feature the latest generation of Subaru, in perfect harmony with these features in the new face-wheel drive monster. Now, instead we got a puzzled expression smurnoj bully who clearly hints from under his eyebrows at the consolidated its supremacy not only over its predecessor, but also over its competitors who are forced to just go (or rather, driven away) to the side.
New Impeza equipped with advanced front optics increased the brightness to see the rapidly approaching the roadway, as well as conspicuous rear combination lamps. Can not say that the lights had brought some inconvenience, but such care is pleasant. Also, the owners usually do not stop at the nominal optics, and establish a set of optional add-ons to be 100% sure that they notice when fulminant approximation. The huge rear wing did not hinder visibility, which is typically good as when you look back, and on the other sides of the world.
Saloon car as always a Spartan is simple and accessible to understand. Most powerful lateral support seat takes in a vise, leaving no chance of accidentally falling off to the side, even if you are not clipped. Casette 2-din as is usually terrible and for some reason or another is equipped with a cassette player, Subaru seems to believe that people who buy this car - crazy and listen to tape recordings 70-ies. Steering wheel does not look very angry, but very well placed in his hands. In general, no particular beauty is not pleased. Everything as usual - the minimum necessary, all other moods - for your money.
To support the successful design solutions, minders equipped Impreza 2.5-liter boxer engine with turbocharger. Recall that before the car engine was packaged with a working volume of 2.0 liters. The new unit is not only more powerful than the predecessor, but much tyagovity, which is not surprising in such a substantial increase in the working volume. Even if you do not mention the perennial competitors Subaru, still can not avoid comparing the technical characteristics of all-wheel drive super-stool with another frenzied unit - from Mitsubishi. Evolution did not cave in under the changeable world, and still does not shrink from 2-liter turbo engines, which now though smaller in size, but still very, very competitive.
By combining in a single point of the universe Lancer Evo VIII, and the new STI on a flat line or on a twisting streamer, can easily distort the space in a colorful fighting a duel, where it is difficult to identify in advance the winner. 280 "horses" against the 265-ty, acceleration Mitsu to "hundreds" in 6.1 seconds. v. .... not known yet, against what. Old dispersed to hundreds of STI in 5.5 seconds, so that from the new expect the same speed. However, the Lancer mad Deadlift - 355 Nm 392 Nm against a new STI - rather, it is no longer the Subaru, because the difference of 37 Nm at the difference in volume of 0.5 liter - this is not so much.
It is difficult to judge the manageability, while in the exhibition hall, but for some reason there is confidence that in any case, this car is able to create miracles on the road. Features suspension at Subaru have decided not to change only slightly refined the number of characteristics in relation to the increased capacity. Strangely, the standard does not strut front plates, which certainly will not be superfluous in any case. For it is proposed to separately pay 200 U.S. dollars.
In general, the car bound to each specific experiences. Some say that competition is stronger, someone on the contrary wants to experience new sensations, which may bring driving this car. But do not forget that this model is used atelier Subaru Tecnica International as a base for a rally samples participating at the World Championship Car Racing.
If it was available at least half of the 51 thousand dollars, I would recommend her to hide away so as not to tease myself the opportunity to borrow and then spend the financial income on consumables and fuel. Even if you have the entire amount - beware. Because then it will be too late - STI devour you, committed to making the grade. Apparently, not for nothing that say that "Grounded Subaru not exchange it for anything else."
