the best option when buying an AWD 4 banger turbo.... 20% sound, %40 acceleration, 20% handling 20% everyday usability

STi > evo

Yeah, but where the SRT4 might have the edge straightline, it gets its ass whooped when the first corner comes, and the base remains a Neon, a lot more shitty than a bread and butter Impreza.

How is this a poser car when it actually CAN back up the garish looks with some actual speed? Same applies for the Evo.

Mildly cool IMO.

cool, but as some ppl already said, the EVO is cooler also i dont like the big-ass rear wing (ok the evo has 1 too, but that's just more brutal than the STi so it's allowed to have a big wing )

Cool!!

Although the Impreza always has the same shape, the new one looks good. Very aggressive! And sounds really good, specially when modified.

And most of all, because it looks and sounds much better than the Evo

Any WRX/STI is cool IMO, not quite Subzero though.

Maybe a red one would be.....

I guess move from a 2.0L to 2.5L doesn't count as a "change"?

but Performence Pack will be available and the engine will have power up to 305
