Has anyone driven???

 

Hi all, At last we drove the new beast back to back with a evo6 gsr.
First imprezz-ions:
It handles better than the previous model but not as funny to drive as the previous.
It grips like go-kart,there isn't any oversteer and understeer.When we pushed it hard it just a little oversteered and flew out.Front-end grip is superior to the previous.
No contest in comfort because much more comfortable.I don't like comfort but.
Acceleration is a bit worse than the previous one.Kicking *** turbo is not there,it is accelerating smoothly.
But the handling is awesome.It has 17'' 215 45 zr potenzas which gives awesome grip.
Back to back with evo6gsr:
Evo is much quicker as you know but in corners new impreza is superior to evo.New impreza is a rocket around corners.Evo is unpredictable and in slow turn-ins it understeers .But in a fast corner it is also good as impreza.
This is the uk turbo and just awesome so NEW STI will be a rallycar.

Funny, this sounds exactly like what the journo's on telly have been saying. Have you REALLY driven one?? And if so where at?

 

Pee one.

Do behave!

Do you really work for Subaru, doing a bit of undercover market research - hence all the questions?

 

Yes i drove one,i drove the test car.
What a wrong opinion kurtw,of course i am not working for subaru.I just said my opinions about it.If i am working for subaru i wouldn't say that Evo is better than a standard STI 5door.

Please???

 

P1 WR,
Just out of interest.....and bearing in mind my 01 beast STi on order.....what 2 operations must you do in the new 01 impreza to activate the starting of the vehicle ?

 

Open the door then sit and then start the car lol lol lol

 

Nice one man......
I'll keep it just b'tween you and I then shall I !

 

Of course, things may be different since the UK models will not be the same as the Turkish models which you tested.

 

Just about sums it up Mellow Yellow

Thanks for your insight....

I would be grateful however if you would answer some of the questions put to you in your other threads....

You seem to have started a trend of staring a topic, asking lots of questions, and then ignoring them as soon as people ask you questions back.

So for the third time (in 3 different threads) I'll ask you the same questions...

You say you are a semi-pro driver, what kind of driving do you do and for how long have you been doing it?

Cheers

Simon,

a mate of mine is a semi-pro driver - does a good living out of fares in Leicester Square on a Friday night

I think a lot of people are mad at Subaru not because the new Impreza is a little slow or smooth but mainly because it's ugly. If the new Impreza looked good I don't think people would have minded the car being smooth or a little slower. But since the car is ugly and on top of that you add slower and smoother (I don't think that's a bad thing but some people think it's too smooth) then people won't be too happy!!!
