if its under 60K (lower range), I would buy it.

Its either this, a V-Spec R34, IS250, Liberty GT B-Spec or EVO…

but recent long drives and transportation woes with small sedans… pushing me to get a Hatch… a 221kW 5 door 4WD Hatch… its the most practical car in its performance range and price…. Think about it people..

Looks wise, always liked it.. white or silver.. black maybe..

EVO is very good, but just less practical…. Subaru knew what they were doing with the STi Hatch… now potential R32/GTi VW, Renault Megane RS225, Audi S3 potential buyers will have a tough time over looking this….

Caradvice where did you get your info that it will be in the dealerships in the next fortnight – is that in the dealership ready to be test driven?

What a great looking car!!! its exactly what is needed for the STI and its high performance image!!the rear tail lights on new model imprezas look awesome when brake lights are actually on ALL individual LED lights!!
If sti is like new WRX in refinement but with a much harder performance edge i WANT ONE!!

I’m not even joking, I started laughing uncontrollably at those front guards. What the HELL was that styling department doing.

Fear into Mitsu fans? From my teary eyes and sore gut I\’m saying no at the moment.

Looks great and all, but the rear lights really ruin it for me.

Looks great i think. Smoking the rear lights would set it off nicely but i dont think its legal unless done from the factory. Could be wrong but im pretty sure thats the case. Reason for the different wheels is that there are two specs, one gets 18s and sports seats then the next model up gets 18inch lightweight forged wheels and recaro bucket seats! As for burble, this one should have a burble and all thats needed for any of the other wrxs is just an aftermarket muffler or exhaust.. Looks awesome to me..

I like it!!!!

Does this version have a burble ??????????I have been told the isn’t an exhaust to get the burble back……..true???

Thats a big hole in the bonnet ha……..plenty of air getting in ya think!!

How come the wheels are different on each car?

Looks a lot better than the standard but still the arse end does it no justice.

Is it me or does the front over hang look too long?

Personally I prefer the look of the Evo….even though I am a Subaru owner, albeit a Forester owner

still looks like a riced hyundai i30, and still not the visual match for the tough looking evo. lets see how the stats stack up, and see whether they’ve made the interior less cheesy and if they’ve put in a decent seat… not the wrx seat with little to no lateral support at all. the evo seat does hold firm. i do like the quad tails though.
