Well unlike most of the subaru fans i happen to like the 08 wrx. I look forward to test driving one soon.

Here is a best motoring video of it racing against a BMW 130i and a Mazda speed 3. I know its tsuchiya driving the 08 wrx...but that thing is quick. Eat that edmunds!

Didn't the Black 08 WRX make the worst time?

Look at the cars it's racing against. WOW, oh wait those are lame cars, just like the 08.

It may handle okay, but look at it!

That video makes me MORE depressed and irked about the WRX. Watch the in-car video closely -- the BMW and Mazda 3 drivers are able to hold a line in the corner with minor adjustments; the black WRX snaps into understeer, overcorrects and then oversteers out, a complete mess.

Better tires and some sway bars and I think it would have killed the other cars.
