I was the first person to Test drive it But i was disappointed lol

 

why ?

 

idk i guess i had a much greater expectation for some reason lol. But the car did drive pretty smoothly

 

Doesn't handle like EVO?

 

Can you go into further detail? You kinda just left us hanging there...

 

the stock tune on the cars are crap

 

Well i never drove a stock GR but from what my friend tells me and from what I felt in the 2011, they feel gutless? The handling was smooth and the steering wheel had little to no play in it. The drive was comfy but it just didnt feel like a STi. Idk maybe i just go too use to my 04 STi

 

^ I think the new STIs have a smoother power delivery than the older STIs.

 

yeah me too, drove an 09 and really didnt blow me away at all. this is the eighth model year we've had the STI here in the US and its basically the same engine/drivetrain since my 04 with minor tweaks since then, hell isnt only rated at like 5-10hp more than the ST I bought back in 03? Just figured with how much other cars performance has gone through the roof in the last 8 years that we would still be leading the charge. Maybe they're waiting for the new motor

 

Talk about cliff hangers...

 

hehe go test drive 1 yourself . Since im young, i just rolled up in my car and as soon as i got out, a sales person came to me. I told some lie about wanting to upgrade to a newer model and they let me test drive. It was a nice Black maybe OBP? Funny thing is that the sales person showed and told me about how "Spacious" the trunk is LOL

 

Just got back form Subaru of Santa Cruz,i had to pick up a new cabin filter for the Foz (man those things get dirty) and they had a 2011 WRX and an STI.

 

perhaps you test drove it in the I setting instead of sport sharp? besides i'd be shocked that the sales guy would even let your romp on it...
