my quick translation for you gaijins: "I just did the Impreza. Movement feels pronounced. Of the cars I drove, you can feel the body roll the most in this one. It's the way the car rolls... After you give it a steering input, there's a delay. Also in the transitions (during a direction change at the moment you cut the car back) there's a delayed reaction to the driver's input. The car moves after the input and the effect snowballs as you go along..." Dude really liked the 1-series tho! Anyway, this is nothing new to the GD chasis. It gets upset really easily. I gotta say tho, I only drove the 08 shortly, but it felt like it understeered a little less and the rear end followed the front a little better than previous years. Still wouldn't buy an 08 wrx unless I was looking for a strictly DD/highway commuter car... even then I'd consider other options.
that test was totally flawed, it didnt show MPH, for all we know the impreza was going 10 mph faster then those other cars...... drive the car yourself, it is an entirely new car, the handling is HANDS DOWN better then all other chassis imprezas
Subaru mush bushings ftl right there. This is the BIGGEST issue with Subaru. They run the softest crap ever and expect it to work. It is an ENTIRELY different car with upgraded bushings, exact, instant, no wander, no mush, no delay. It's a beautiful thing when done. I really wish Subaru understood how bad they're messing up. Looks like the car needs a bigger rear bar too. Surprise, lol. The first two things that should be done on every Subaru stock from the factory is a bigger rear bar(about on par with front) and full Group N grade bushings, everywhere. Oh yeah, they could lose the RE92 at some point as well. There are oh so many better tires out there now. I can't figure for the life of me why they'd stick with that junk. No one likes the RE92. I'm going to copy this reply to that test, lol.
