Just been out in a brand new spec D STi. Cant fault the car at all, but what really got on my nerves was the leather seats. They just didnt seem to hold me into the seat at all, there was only 300 miles on the clock but it went like sh$t fair play, and at 28k i think ill stick to original choice and get a proper sti. It just didnt give me the same feeling sat in it like i was sat in a proper Sti, and the sat nav was **** quality ust stuck on the air vent spinning round, had a nice pioneer systm in it though

 

Nice review mate.

Would one be better tho as a long distance/everyday car?

Rather then an normal STI?

 

i would say so mate yeah, dont get me wrong the seats were very comfortable but in a STi u dont want that coz IMO its not for comfort, had the car out for half an hour and it was a dream to drive to be honest.

 

My local subaru dealership salesman said that they are trying to aim the spec d at reps, which sounds about right if they are better long disance cars
