Matt Farah :(
When he says disappointing, I believe he meant he had high hopes for it and was let down. Im pretty sure Farah has owned an Sti in the past so its not like he doesnt know what he is talking about and cant have expectations. Also, He has more experience with cars than anyone here so im sure he has a better sense than we do. I think his car reviews, especially his "one take" reviews he does a great job with, of course he has his own opinions but that usually makes for great TV personalities like Jeremy Clarkson. Chris Harris is unique and great but I think they both bring things to the table, and the fans he was referencing were his diehard I hate any other journalist fans.
I dont know about anyone else here that regularly watches these guys but when I see them driving an awesome car and they're tearing through gears and they start smiling and giggling I cant help but smile and giggle with them.

I was not commenting on what I perceive that someone I do not know personally might think or may have done in the past - or even who has the right to have an opinion about this. I was commenting on some posts that this guy wrote and submitted on a website. Big difference.
I'll check out some of the videos. I have watched a few in the past and I remember not really being impressed. Plus, watching someone that gets an opportunity with an awesome automobile beat on it (not drive it enthusiastically but just abuse it for no reason) and then say some dumb things about it is a lot like if you got to go on a date with Kiera Knightly and then just decided to punch her in the face. It's like "why would someone do that?" But at the same time I can understand that "most people" don't know much about cars/driving, are prevented from learning anything by their own mis-conceptions, and at the same time like watching things get messed up.
Anyway I have already typed a lot of words here, which I enjoy, but I know it stresses out the young folks, so I will leave it at that.
Carry on.
So, you are entertained by this entertainer's entertainment. Fabulous! Seriously, there is nothing wrong with that. Rock on.

I agree with both of your posts. maybe its our age bracket or maturity level. Just saying..
As an 04 owner, I like the new STi, the hatch option is great but it seems like its stagnated. Sure there are little refinements here and there (bushings) but that's not nearly enticing enough for me. I can understand people's dissapointment.

Cheers. As a young person I enjoy watching an amazing rally driver traverse an insane stage rather than hit a bank and do a couple flips. Unless theyre badass and flip the car and just keep going haha.
