    If there's one thing I don't like about WRX's looks are the halogen headlights. You gotta almost pay 35k for the limited version with LED drl and headlights. Otherwise, it's super fun

  • @K03sport
    @K03sport 5 лет назад +4

    ...for those wondering, it is a WRX Premium with Performance package (i.e. sunroof delete and Recaro seats) despite the title not saying as such...
    the car looked a little outgunned in that pack, assuming the Golf ahead was a Golf R; but since it was a lead/follow group, but I guess it didn't really matter.
    What paint would you spec your WRX in? - World Rally Blue, Lapis blue, Pure Red, or other?

    This video's goal is not to compare wrx with civic si/r. He is not allowed to overtake and he clearly is breaking ahead to keep distance with front car. Not a good comparison just nice old fun driving in the track.

      @@IReahpZz Not sure this is correct. Ive driven both, while the MX5 is quicker through a corner, the WRX more than kills the MX5 on exit acceleration, and straight line. Id say most of the time the WRX will be quicker point to point.

    • @dry509
      @dry509 7 лет назад

      Outdoor Layne Thanks, but most of the reviews seem to prefer the Miata? I think according to a Fast Lane Hot or Not test with a pro driver that the GTI is actually faster than the Miata and Toyota 86..not sure about the Wrx?

    • @dry509
      @dry509 7 лет назад

      Outdoor Layne I see what you are saying..subjectivity vs actual speed tests. Have you had the chance to drive the wrx,GTI, Toyota 86, st to see which is more fun to you? As far as speed and fun it is interesting (fun) to throw the Mustang and Camaro..even the v6 Camaro in the mix..what do you drive or what do you want by the way?

    • @dry509
      @dry509 7 лет назад

      Outdoor Layne So you would still pick the Toyota 86 even though it is not as fast around the track as the WRX? At one time I lived in a snowy cold place, so I know what you are talking about. I live in Houston now. Trying to find a fun car.

    • @dry509
      @dry509 7 лет назад +1

      Outdoor Layne The issue I have is I live in Houston. Lots of straight flat roads. No fun curvy roads close for the most part. Wonder if I should just get a V8 for stoplight to stoplight drag racing (acceleration..within the law of course) or short fast spurts on the freeway? No close tracks as far as I know. Again looking for fun car or truck to drive..thought about motorcycles but kind of dangerous.

    • @lourenco121
      @lourenco121 6 лет назад

      dry509 You could buy an Evo ix for $20k and have fun with it both on straights and turns. Few mods it makes 400whp safely with e85 or 350whp on 93 with a stock turbo. It's like driving a v8 with slicks traction wise and it has short gearing for crazy push you back in the seat acceleration.
      I currently own a 2013 corvette Grand Sport that I left stock. While its fun, I enjoyed the Evo more since it had much more traction off the line with awd and more fun acceleration wise with it's short gearing.
      I also owned a 520whp 97 cobra and a 600whp 2012 Mustang GT. 2002 363whp Focus SVT. Rwd V8 is fun also. I had to run slicks to put the power down in those mustangs while the Evo had no problems with traction and was raw and more fun driving around.

    I own an sti, and have driven a wrx for around 30 hours total and I can tell you with 100% confidence that the sti is worth the money. The steering feel, power and overall experience is so much better in the sti. They are not the same car and the sti is just simply the better experience. No matter how much work you put into a wrx it will never be the same, spend the money and enjoy your car. Buy the sti.
