Well, I'd like to add the 2024 Impreza, but I can't find the choice "2024" in Introduced year section. 🙃

@VW Veyron SS - yea, your buying a subaru, don't buy it for straight line speed.
A mustang GT/camaro SS cost less than this and that's why I'm looking at buying those. That being said, for the windy canyon road a subaru would def. be awesome.
VW Veyron SS 14y ago
Waste of money for drag racing at this price. A 2002 Camaro Z28 or 2002 Trans Am WS6 will edge it out in the 1/4 mile and SMASH it in the standing mile and top speed.
If you take cars to a race track then it's a different story though.

Did exactly the same lap time around Top Gear US track as BMW X6 M - 1:30.00

A lot of specialists state that business loans aid a lot of people to live their own way, just because they can feel free to buy necessary things. Furthermore, some banks present short term loan for all people.

I today have ran my 2006 STi with a VBOX GPS data logger. I ran 0-100km/h on RE070 stock tyres stock everything in 5.4 seconds with a launch at 4500 revs. Im sure that if I had done 2-3 more launches at 5000+ RPM I could reach a flat 5 second or less time for 0-100km/h...

How can this be faster than a Porsche 997 GT2 but slower than a Renault Megane Sport at Bruntingthorp?

1997 WRX better!
My dream car :)

Watch the Top Gear episode again. The STi beat the EVO X, but they liked the EVO much better.

bought one 4 month ago. Blow-off valve, stage II, new exhaust System (thrust). accelerating is far behind that 4,4 (0-100) more than 5,5s. From 1st gear to 2nd it is ver slow and gives strange noises, and cannot make the 100km/h in second gear, so you have to put the 3rd... BUT not ugly, very nice, and I love it. Good car for 40k USD.

Your 0-60 is off for the 08 STI. Search the Internet. Most reviews get mid to high 4's.
maestro 18y ago
be realistic. 0-100km can't be under five seconds with 194 hp/tone. even in a awd like this.
Georg 18y ago
Are there any 0-100km/h tests? Sportscars made a short test with the WRX STI ..the press car with the licens plate "FB-PR 314" missed factory claim 0-100km/h by whooping 0.6s .. sportscars was not able to get the car 0-100km/h in under 5.8s something they were realy disapointed about.
