[Long-Term Road Tests] 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI: Death of a Tire | Long-Term Road ...: As side-of-an-LA-freeway tire changes go, this one was pretty relaxed, as the shoulder was wide and traffic was light. However, as far as I know, the rear tires have never been removed on this car (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and the lugnuts were on tight.
[evolutionm.net] Motor Trend snow comparison of Evo X and STI... and how poorly ...: The cars are even up to 30 mph, then the STI pulls ahead and beats the Evo by 0.3 second to 60, but then the Evo regains a 0.3-second lead by 80 mph. Braking from 60 mph takes 292 feet in the Evo, 274 in the STI-more than two and a half times typical dry-pavement distance, but it's about a third the distance required on worn-out summer tires, and better than half the distance needed on fresh ones.

[Long-Term Road Tests] 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI: Subaru Steering | Long-Term Road ...: I mean honestly, how many people 'love' their Subarus despite uncomfortable seats, junk radios, stubborn transmissions (you can't tell me that four speed slushbox or recalcitrant manual is a 'joy') , gooey steering, cheap-arse interiors, poor fuel economy, slow acceleration numbers, cramped seating arrangements, weak chassis (see prior Edmunds posts on the STI), and the fact they're ugly as sin?
[ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums] 08 WRX or 09 WRX - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi ...: I've come to realize in my searching that the 09 premium pkg wrx I was looking at will be out of my price range (a bit upside down in the G) so I had a dealer telling me he had an 08 loaded Navi, sirius and all the options. He claims he can give me 5200 dollar discount but hasn't given me the invoice or list price.

[Long-Term Road Tests] 2009 Audi A4 Avant: Lackluster Family Trip | Long-Term Road Tests ...: The raison d'etre for the wagon body style is extra cargo space, and if Audi was going to sacrifice practicality for style, I don't see why they didn't go all the way and make the A4 a swoopier 5-door liftback which would still have similar seat up/down cargo space, instead of a pseudo-wagon.
[Marty Padgett's Inside Scoop on Auto News - The Car Connection] Marty Padgett's blog: 2009 Subaru WRX: The Excitement Is Back ...: Unlike most other performance vehicles, the WRX is as accomplished off-road as it is on the pavement. We drove a gravel-road rally stage in a stock WRX equipped shod with knobby tires and found the car to be tossable, controllable, and frighteningly quick on a road surface so rough and loose that I wouldn't have wanted to drive a "normal" vehicle more than about 20 mph.
[meeblog] meeblog » Blog Archive » rain rain go away, spin me out another day: Wet and hot pavement in clear weather is the perfect scenario for the over confident to be taught a lesson. We tend to think about the pavement conditions a little more in rain but not afterward and not necessarily on the non-rainy days when you run into a puddle.

[Don Miller Blog] Don Miller Blog » Stop My Mother from Buying an Ugly Car: I myself drive a 1996 Toyota Camary that though I have had it for 3 years has only been to the shop once and has well over 140k miles on it (and my mechanic says that it probably has another 100k in it!) it cost of upkeep is low and the gas mileage is high (and it is the model with the larger engine).
