2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Sedan Review
For the first time in three years, Subaru is offering up a four-door sedan version of their performance icon, the WRX STI. This is the first time that Subaru has ever offered an STI in two body styles. That’s right, you can also buy the five-door STI. And while we love hot little performance wagons, you have to admit the wing is pretty sweet. Or at least admit that the four-door Impreza body is so… awkward looking (we know, we know) that the looks...

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 330S Review
Subaru unveiled at the British Motor Show a trio of vehicles, one of them being the Impreza WRX STI 330S, a model that will go on sale in September at a price of £30,000.
The new Impreza WRX STI 330S benefits from a Prodrive Performance pack with modified ECU and exhaust system – this time with paired twin 90 mm diameter stainless steel exhaust pipes to bring back the burble so loved by ’scooby’ fans.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX Review
There are few problems that more horsepower can’t fix or at least help you ignore. And as a perfect case study, we bring you the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX. Our first impression of the new-for-2008 WRX left us hot and cold. Interior quality, overall refinement, and noise isolation were vastly improved, but the WRX lacked the thrill of the previous car. The engine was largely unchanged, and weight gain was nonexistent, but the WRX came off as more of an Impreza GT than...

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Review
Personality makes all the difference. Take, for example, one-time World Rally Champion Petter Solberg. He’s earned the nickname “Hollywood” – and droves of adoring fans – because, like a seasoned Tinseltown thespian, he’s honest, down-to-earth, and as likable as a puppy, regardless of whether he just clinched a championship or spun his WRC Impreza into a tree.
The same can be said for the street-legal version of his rally car:...

2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B Review
With the introduction of the turbo 2.5-liter engine in the Legacy last year, Subie performance nuts finally had what they wanted – almost. The Legacy still lacked some of the added performance hardware to take full advantage of the new engine’s added power, and finally for 2007 it all comes together in a more cohesive package, dubbed the Spec.B (note the strategic lack of a space).
The 2007 Spec.B, which goes on sale in August, attempts to be to...
