Driving a Subaru is like running barefoot, driving a Golf R is like running with Nike's latest high tech running shoes on.
In a world that is becoming more and more sanitised, the WRX STI's demise may feel like an inevitable consequence of progress but when they're all gone, I'll miss the occasional sound of a flat four burble rumbling in the distance, followed by the sight of petrol heads looking up to catch a glimpse of the rally legend.
I feel a little let down by Subaru, but I'm grateful for them giving us the car in the first place.

Subaru are missing a market here in the UK for the basic WRX version - 270bhp, better size wheels suspension and uprated more efficient twin scroll turbo - as for sale in the USA. This is basically 2004 technology- and you'll be lucky to get 20mpg. If you want this experience buy a 2004-2007 version, esp. the WR1 - and you wont lose any investment.

Don't think he really knows much about cars judging by this attempt at a review. I prefer the standard edition, plenty still for sale in UK pre reg etc, its one of those kind of cars id have just to go shopping and a drive out on a Sunday. Would last me for years.

This video kinda just felt like you didn-t know what you were talking about with regards to the car and other bits you mentioned.
The first Impreza Turbo was released in 1992 called the WRX. It wasn-t until 1994 that the STI badge started popping up on WRX-s

Sadly they choose not to go all the way when they presented a super cool looking concept of it a few years back - It ended up with this and it simply does neither have the charm of the older versions neither have the wow from the concept.

Motoring journalist? Freelancer. the wheels didn't even turn. This tells you everything you need to know about (most not all) motoring journalists and why you should make your own mind up when choosing a car.

What a terrible reviewer.
WRX and STI still popular in Australia, five in the range and no final edition in sight, much talk about the new 2020 model expected late next year.

Why not, ok, hybrid, levy assist is here, but, if this is it, why no 400BHP Focus RS, mercedes45AMG beating run out model, would it not have sold? -

Look's awesome. Sad to see it go. I drove it, and it was much more exciting than the Porsche Cayman R, Aston Martin Vantage and Nissan GTR!
