Was this a review of a WRX or a Legacy? Couldn't tell?

I just don't like the way it looks! The rest sounds great but the styling is just crap. I have liked all generations of WRX's until now. This is on the bottom of my list so I guess I won't be buying a new one until 2020. Haha!

I liked the looks of it until I saw this video. It looks like a riced out corolla.

911 handling? Please. It might have been a goal, but they obviously didn't reach it. Bigger swaybars and stiffer rear springs does not make a front engine awd family sedan, with terrible suspension geometry and design, handle even remotely close to a properly designed sports car.
Maybe the new STI will handle like a ZL1!!! not. Also, down a .5L in displacement. BOOO. Half the fun with WRXs has been upgrading to a VF turbo and having STI hp/tq curves. |

People revolted, subaru responded. And you honestly can't say that the new model is much worse off than even the current model. |

i do like high revving and stuff but you cant beat the speed of the vf-52 or 48 when tuned. direct injection i know nothing about so i cant comment. Its more about tunability and unlocking some good power. who knows im sure people will make some nice stage 2 cars out of both sti and wrx. |

Read between the lines, the new WRX makes it's peak torque at 2000-5400 rpm. That's insane and you can't call this a "High revving" engine because frankly it's got more low end grunt than any oem turbo subaru ever made. The EJ255 on the current WRX makes it's peak torque at 4,000 rpm for comparison. That means you have to rev the current WRX to get to the powerband MUCH more than you will on the 2015 model. Not being a fanboy here, it's just fact. |

I'm so tired of hearing everyone talk about subaru ruining the "new" WRXs. It's the same story every time they come out with a new model. It looks different, that's for sure, but nothing will ever look as bad as the 08-10 WRX. Quit bitching and test drive it for yourself.

Interior Subaru is always a step behind.
It looks extremely bland. Seat look econo, wheels looks horrible, gauges meh, and no stitched leather dash. Even the new Civic Si has that. I guess they have to save something for the STI but most new compact cars at this price have nicer sporty cockpits. |

The biggest problem for me with the new generation is the loss of the iconic subaru rumble...I hope there is an option for some UEL headers out there for the car...not everybody will be happy with maybe 30tq on a protune... I love my 13 STi hatch and wouldn't give it up for a newer model

No **** it's the best 6 speed that Subaru has built. It's the only 6 speed they have built in America therefore you have nothing to compare it to.

They certainly have brought some nice perks to this new model. I actually saw a white one in Center City Philadelphia a couple weeks ago, guessing it was some GM from Subaru or someone higher up in the industry, but rolling the thing did look pretty impressive. I think just like any other car it will start to slowly conform because at first I hated and slowly it has begun to grow on me.
I found this video and was curious to know if anyone could photoshop the front end of the new end on a hatch, that could be cool. I actually like the front just needs a little bit more...not an evo under spoiler lol. and ignore the wing choice |

Why is he so exaggerating EVERYTHING.
Boy, that 0-60 CVT will give you a whiplash...better watch it. So, as a past proud 08 owner I say - not this time Subaru, I'll pass. |

But I think the new design is much better than the last redesign with the 08's. Yes, the wide body cars look alot better, but at least they tried to improve this one more. I personal love the route that Subaru is taking with the new line of vehicles. I will be buying a new body WRX in 2016 more than likely. |
