Total game changer.
I have 5000 kms on it already. I like everything about it except for 3 things:

1. I can't get used to the clutch, it is very high.
2. I wish it had a higher first gear. It is geared low like an old RX7.
3. It is louder than I expected - road noise.

This thing handles amazing, better than my track cars. I haven't found its limits yet (which is good because its only been street driven).

If I want more power, its going to take a $650 Access Port tuner and I can get close to 300 HP. with a tune, pipe, and a cold air intake, I can get well over 300 HP.

In its stock tune, I am getting as good as 7.02L/100 kms calculated at the pump.

Underneath, it is well protected with lots of skid plates. It is remarkably well put together.

2 things occurred to me when I first got this car...

1. Why weren't the guys with STIs in my run group way faster? If they were anything like my WRX, they should have been a lot faster than my old air cooled 911s.


2. I have owned close to 75 cars in my life, why has it taken so long to get into a WRX?
