2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

The new STI was expected to be better this year. But when it cameo ut people were disappointed. The new styling is ugly. It's not a hatchback and not really a true wagon. Although the most important thing was kept, speed and handling. The STI has a turbo charged flat 4 engine and an all wheel drive drive line. The new STI has the spirit to keep up with the Lamborghini Gallardo but it's still $200,000 behind.

2004 Subaru Impreza WRX-STI

The Impreza, also called STI or WRX for short, is every teenagers dream. With 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds you will not have time to breath. Only in between switching gears gives you a break of the action. With all wheel drive it is definitely a winner in the rain or snow. Leave ricer Civics in the dust. But this car doesn't leave your wallet full, but you really do get what you are paying for when comparing to a Porsche or Ferrari.
