Small cons of the new Impreza WRX STI
 Engine power Subaru Impreza WRX STI, compared with previous models had increased to 300 hp The engine installed a new system of active control valves (Dual AVCS), providing increased torque at low and medium revs, and also increase the capacity of fuel economy at high speeds. In turn, increasing power and influence in the presence of the car amplified intercooler and muffler with four tailpipes of the new design. Also in the car Subaru Impreza WRX STI system installed

 SI-DRIVE, which allows the driver to change the mode of the engine in accordance with certain conditions of motion. Available in a complete set of differential DCCD allows the driver to control the handling and stability of the car. Another new system, dynamic stabilization system allows the driver to change the mode of the car depending on road conditions. The braking system is a vented disc brakes with large diameter four-cylinder and two piston calipers on the front and rear wheels, with Super Sport ABS and the opportunity to assist with the launch of space on the slope.

 From outside the Subaru Impreza WRX STI looks a better than its predecessor, the Subaru Impreza, this contributes to the presence of a predator bumper and pronounced wheel arches, staffed offtake, nostril inlet to the radiator in the hood, spoiler on the tailgate and rear bumper with diffuser and two combined silencers.

 Hand on heart, in the general stream of new cars Subaru Impreza WRX STI after all is lost and has not attracted as much attention as before. This is explained by the fact that all previous models Subaru Impreza has its own unique charisma, which was lost with the last upgrade. No trace is left and the distinctive features of Subaru Impreza - frameless doors.
Previous versions of Subaru Impreza did not differ frills interior design, the new model is no exception. The most striking accent in the design serves a large red tachometer scale, which is located in the center of the dashboard. Everything is simple and concise, to distract the driver from the management process.

Compare the operation of 2 versions of Subaru Impreza, medium and high power. So, consider a car with an engine capacity of 1.5 liters. with automatic transmission. Well, what can we say, motor, power 107 hp with automatic transmission only slightly accelerates the car. In order to get at least some momentum to move the gearbox in manual mode. When you switch to a lower gear, there is engine braking. The grid is triggered gently, brake usual.

When you sit down behind the wheel of a more powerful (300 hp) models of Subaru Impreza WRX STI, just want to lift it higher, because the seat and steering wheel are configured for landing and sports car. High lever 6-speed manual gearbox has a short switching, the driver's hands on the wheel is conveniently located, comfortable seats are equipped with additional lateral support. Noise insulation in the cabin is not provided, apparently to ensure that the driver is fully able to enjoy the sound of the engine, turbine, exhaust and differential DCCD. During the ride from the driver the impression that he was behind the wheel of the usual practical car designed for driving on flat city roads. Not even a hint of a sports car, well only if the clutch pedal tugovata. But behind the wheel of this car, with slow movement on a small velocity can enjoy riding. Control of the machine just in height, though drive the car much easier. This was done by developers in order to expand the range of consumer, as with the previous model Subaru Impreza WRX STI was not so easy to handle. There is one significant nuance sound horn. For some this may seem sheer nonsense, but I think that for a car with such history, reputation and status could come up with something for fun.

Of course, the new model Subaru Impreza WRX STI is good, but looking at her, so hard to imagine that this is the continuation of the once famous sports car, from which almost nothing left.
