Matt Farah :(
He's Currently Doing an AMA on Reddit and said the 2012 STI was the most disappointing car he has driven. Ouch.

I'm Matt Farah and I make car videos, including that Badass RX7 One - IAMA : cars

I would agree with that. For the price of a new STi especially the hatch there are far better cars to be had new/used. Not because I bought one but I think the 11+ WRX really closed the huge gap the STi had over previous years. The new Rex's are one of the best bang for buck cars imo at least.

I would go so far as to say that Chris Harris is probably better than the majority of all car journalists.
