PokerMunkee Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Might get me a WRX now. Hmm. Wonder how fast....5.5 seems slow for 0-60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapture Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 why still top mount? am i the only one that thinks it should come front mount from the factory? more like the evo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'll venture a guess here and say cheaper manufacturing. A hell of a lot less piping for one and less trouble over fitting a FMIC, hand in hand with "it's worked good enough for this long" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogos Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Might get me a WRX now. Hmm. Wonder how fast....5.5 seems slow for 0-60? to slow for you ??? get yourself GTR then. Totally reasonable and totally irrelevant in real life performance. How it pulls from 50-100. Now, that's something that might be interesting..... and knowing subaru totally underrated by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think with 3 more HP, it should be on par with that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Subaru also rates the current WRX at a 5.5 sec 0 to 60 and we know it's significantly quicker that, but now it has an extra gear. So I'd think around 5.1 in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Comes with CVT transmission and the manual will be 6 speed. If they just offered the STi version in a variant with a sequential dogbox too... That would please anyone with rally ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withiam Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Link dead, here are teh scans http://i42.tinypic.com/qr0y6c.png Must be running the spare on the left rear. Dumb looking. Those tires are too small for the dead cat hole to be that big. Audi and Bimmer have that addressed but the nips can't pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoodhue Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I like it. If the next gen legacy doesn't offer a 6MT 2.0DIT, their is a good chance I will move over to WRX for my next car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenc544 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It took them 2.5-years to slap a turbo and wide body kit on the Impreza? It doesn't make sense. I wonder if they went down the rumored separate platform path but couldn't make it work, then rush this out. Especially if the 2.5 on the STI is still the same old EJ.

chenc544 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Last sentence: Subaru claims the car can pull 1.10 g in corners That's mighty impressive if true. I think that would make it best handling AWD car on paper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redryan98 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I general I like it, but ugh another direct injected (only) engine. Here comes another car that will likely need valve carbon cleaning every 40-60 miles. And it will be a PIA on the boxer. A small port injector like Toyota uses would prevent it, why not add it? This alone will prevent me from getting one if it ends up being an issue. Thought I left the days of carbon clearning when I ditched BMW and VW. And why no hatchback?? I see more of them on the road here than I do the sedan. Odd choices, but I guess "quirks" are Subaru's thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithAkaMrak Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 From the order sheet that was posted, anyone know what these feature abbreviations stand for?: RTS, MR, AHL I'm guessing AHL is auto-headlights. *Edit* I bet MR = Moonroof.

TrueWhiteBoy Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Excited about performance, disappointed about styling. So basically a pretty standard Subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andnyleswillriot Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 every single facebook page, forum, etc that has posted this has not really had a positive reaction. Mostly styling and all but when will subaru just listen to their consumers? I get that the average consumer doesn't know shit and will buy the name anyway, but I can't imagine all these thousands of people hating on it don't matter...
