Certainly an improvement over previous models.. i like!

grill is FUGLY!!! looks like its off a pontiac! I dont beleave any of their models looked any good after the ones with the real square head lights...
Maybe its just me :duh
ruckus ·
Nah I'm the same Alex. The early ones looked nice and tough and unique. All the others are whimpy and look like they're trying to be like everything else IMHO

Oz currently runs the 2.0litre 195kW motor... the US gets the 2.5litre motor in the STi. I think i have read somewhere that they are planning on increasing the output of the 2.0litre to 200 or 205kW (currently decreased due to our shitty fuel).
The forrester has the 2.5L motor.

BTW, the 2.5turbo is too big to put in a buggy legally. 😢

Geez Alex, you're not even 30 and you goin all "the old ones were the best ones". V-Force better start makin walking sticks and crocheted rugs.

The grill looks like the front of a gaywoo or is it a hyundai - either way its a bit crappy!

Its like the the 06 charger i posted up before, body ain't too fancy (and the grill of the 06 wrx looks like a hyundai elantra sorta), but the guts under the hood make me very horny 😵💫
I think the 06 cars next year aren't gonna be too fancy.
Compare the bodies with the old one, yep. Have to agree, but interior i like.nn[ Edited on 14/9/2005 by mynameischris88 ]

i think its because subie head designer was the head of the alpha romero design so it is basicly an upside down alpha grill, not a fan. the americans get the 2.5 cause they have shit fuel, ours is better believe it or not and ours is still shit compared japan 🙁

I used to own ol bug eyes WRX before I bought my cabrio and I loved it. The square WRX's look dated whereas bugs eyes was fresh. The new one is a bit fugly though
Doug Sweetman ·
Bug eyes was nasty !!!, but this new one looks like its trying to be an EVO ?
YEah buy and evo, as if you can find any for sale in Australia !
Nope, I'd like me either a series 1 STI coupe 2 door, or an original 94 / 95 model with the big turbo, but newer stronger gearbox.....
Fossil ·
ah all that power - my bay will go as fast as that @ 100 kph

Grill well possibly to give it a meaner or aggressive look
seagull ·
I see the EVO has come down in price with a unit to be comming in 2006 as well >trying to grab a bit of the market .I see if I can find the info I read the other day .

i was looking at an STi just over 2 years ago before i ended up with a turbo forrester... the interior was absolute crap... the front seats had these fugly blue inserts in them and so did the door trims... i asked the sales dude what options there were... his reply.. well you can have any interior you like as long as you like the one your sitting in!! they didn't even have an option for leather or anything... and sunroofs for WRX/STi?? cant get a "normal" size tilt and slide sunroof for them as the body flex causes the front windscreen to shatter if you have the sunroof... there was a limited edition came out around 2 years ago that had a sunroof as standard... but the sunroof was tiny because of the windscreen problem.
On the test drive i was cruising along at 60 in 6th gear and the salesman says... go on.. dont be shy.. give it some revs... waited till we got on the freeway entrance before i did that.... mscabrio went white... absolutely shit herself when i planted it in 2nd.. ran up to redline with the foot flat to the floor... felt like it was gonna get airborne... awesome cars.
So the interior and sunroof put me off spending the $65 big ones..
i haven't seen the new interior tho so i hope they have improved it.nn[ Edited on 15-9-05 by blutopless2 ]
