Of The 08sti's Are Finding Their New Car. Is It More Than They Expected Or Less And What Is It Like To Drive?

08STi is pretty weak in a stock form is the general consensus.

Weak compared to what?

Faster than the previous model, more features, options, safety and comfort.

Weak compared to the dudes with an STi already, who rock up at the dealership, about to go for a test drive, and the salesmen see they have a previous model .. and are like .. "Maybe you shouldn't drive it"

Yes, better comfort, safety etc which is what you would expect by default on a newer model, but i don't believe it's as quick, what's the 0-100 times between a 05STi and 08?

Just not a fan of it personally, but everyone said that about the bugeye, and they can still be made into something decent.

It just appears that everyone with an STi at the moment who has taken the 08 out has been disappointed.

Maybe it does not have a huge spoiler or a proper ass.

Interesting. Only complaints I have heard are that it is a hatch from people wanting a sedan.

I'm also curious over the performance stats since the new model is faster than the outgoing STi.
