    Mate you need to relax, you'll find most people on here are loyal to subaru, and many of us feel that the new STI is a little soft (it is) we aren't the only ones many publications have had extensive road and track use of a current STI and have the same issues.

    Latest comparison with Focus RS and Mini JCW is not good news for the STI.

    :P

    Both Ford and VW have produced some absolute Dogs of cars over the years and and still do in some markets.......

    Loren, go drive the current model STi, if you still think Subaru aren't up to your lofty expectations, buy another manufacturers car that suits.

    Cheers

    True but irrelevant as we are talking about the here and now, with reference to Ford of Europe, not other markets.

    So 1/5 for the reply.

    :P

    I've driven the AA COTY winning (can't get bigger indictment than that) NZDM STI 2.5 and it was a bag of pooz.

    Point-to-point on NZ roads a Golf GTI would run rings around one.

    I think Loren has driven a JDM 2.0 ?

    One you forgot...

    Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, currently blitzing everything.

    Just look how slow a GTR is !

    :)

    And even better you can buy the engine as a crate motor !

    476kW/819Nm straight out of the box.

    Stick that in your Soob instead of a crappy SR20.

    :P

    Once again , a lame excuse.

    You don't have to be Lotus or TVR...

    Take look at VW or better still, Ford of Europe.

    Every model is fun to drive from basic Fiestas to mid-rang Focus to rep-mobile Mondeo.

    Little wonder they are the only part of the Ford empire to be making money.

    What a pitiful excuse.

    There are many manufacturers who can build specialist cars without resorting to a fey supporting cast.

    Trouble with Subaru is they have got it into their heads to try to compete with the boring Toyotas of the world and bought into a new conservatism.

    Now without any motorsport committment they will only get more boring and further away from their past glories.

    It's not all bad newsuba, they have added my most desired feature for the STi of all time,

    my mates Landrover has it already, now we don't have to miss out anymore...

    eight-way power adjustable front seats

    Yippee !

    As good a reason as any to upgrade.

    :P
