2011 wrx sti

[boymk123]

according to the "car and driver" magazine:

 

Not to be outdone by its newly widened little brother, the STI now gets a sedan body style with a big rear wing, Underneath, both the four door and the hatch get a dose of suspension tweakage that aims to increase grip and improve ride and handling, including a 0.2-inch lowering, thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, higher spring rates all around, pillow-ball busings for the front suspension, and stiffer rear-subframe busings. The standard 18" wheel option shaves more than 17 lbs compared with the 2010 rims, and the lighter-still, optional BBS 18s are back, though not in a good color.

I'm always a fan of the STI sedan body and big wing... though, I can't afford to buy any

[stingray1967]

Love the tan leather interior....

[what]

If that lap on the Nurburgring is the STI were getting, seems to be worth it again.

 

I cant say I like the light brown leather.. the blue interior STI will always be the best.

The STi in the "ring" was a slightly tweaked JDM version. There is another thread in here that details the differences. It was the 2.0 with a larger turbo. But after watching the video, the STi is definitely a contender for my next car.

the tan leather brought the car a new level of luxury look (old blue was sweet also)... Love the big wing and wide body too

+1

Shame I probably won't be able be able to afford the car due to insurance, then again maybe insurance is cheaper in Nevada vs Southern California

[katalyst]

the tan leather imo seems like it clashes a bit, i'd prob have to see it in person though

[thebigevilfoot]

I hope this can be my next car...

[gianspi]

Those pictures of not of a USDM STi. We will never see that car in the states.

[IcEWoLF]

Actually I don't think the USDM 2010 WRX Sti will be much different than the JDM one.

[SpecBGuy]

they cant change that much from usdm and jdm.

 

i love the 2011 sti now it can fit fatter rims like volks with BIG lip. not that i could afford it know but wish the wing was an option but id still get one with it.

[Bbc84]

I think i would take a Evo X over this thing...

[dtmenace]

^you take the librarian, i'll take the bdsm chicky.

[Wang Lung]

Finally, an interior made for an adult.

[Viber]

That isnt a USDM car. That's the JDM 2011 Subaru WRX STI A-Line Sedan

 

http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/07/2011-subaru-wrx-sti-a-line-sedan-oh-to-be-automatic-and-wingless.html

 

The A-Line isn't new, of course; it's the automatic-transmission version of the STI that Subaru sells only in Japan. Instead of the customary JDM 2.0-liter engine, it has a turbocharged, 2.5-liter boxer-four just like the North American-spec STI, plus a version of the five-speed automatic used in H6 versions of the Legacy and Outback (and, yes, the beloved 2005-2009 Legacy GT). And unlike other Japanese-spec WRX STIs, it doesn't have Recaro seats; rather it makes a luxury play with less agressively bolstered leather seats.

 

So looking at these photos got us thinking...

 

--> Wing or no wing on the STI sedan? Remember, the wing improves aerodynamics and results in a slightly higher top speed.

 

--> Anyone want an automatic-equipped STI? Subaru's five-speed auto isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but maybe it doesn't matter with 300 hp...

[SpecBGuy]

whats a A-line?

[boymk123]

Look at the previous JDM Sti models, it wont' be much different b/w USDM and JDM STI, except the headlight with a yellow reflector

[boymk123]

I think i would take a Evo X over this thing...

 

you should read the "consumer report" for brand new car, as they didn't recommend the EVO, infact they recommended the STI. Mitsubishi engine is just lousy

[JayRez33]

whats a A-line?

 

I believe its the trim line that will have the 5eat auto transmission with paddle shifters.

[TrueWhiteBoy]

I still find it funny that the sedan has more storage space

Uhhh... how recent is that article? The 4B11 engine for the Evo X is quite bulletproof. Link to the article perhaps?

The latest one, I found it at a local walgreen, read it quickly but didn't buy it

[HarryN]

That is funny because the consumerreports.org site as well as a few others are saying quite the opposite. Perhaps you read it for a different Mitsubishi? That 4B11 engine is a God-send for Mitsubishi versus their older and crappier engine they had in the EVO VIII.

I read the article for the evo, lancer, and ralliart! It is the consumer report for new car 2011, I remember the only good thing they said about the new Evo was acceleration..

[HarryN]

Ralliart closed their doors...

 

I am still having a hard time reading the same review at other consumer buyer's guides and reports. I guess I will go to a Barnes and Noble and find the article. Figuratively speaking, you could throw sand in the 4B11 and it would still run like a champ.

 

Now did the article say over long term?
