Nice WRX!
I saw the below on the Facebook “STi Photography” group:

It was a very good video composition. The car wasn’t bad, either.
Here’s another video (from the same FB group) of an STI playing in the snow. I’ve done something similar but never filmed 3rd person:

Motor Week Video Review – 2015 Subaru STI
I’ve always loved Motor Week…they aren’t always the most technical, but they cover LOTS of cars. And check out the 1/4th mile run: 13.2 @ 104 (they don’t always give their cars “the beans” when they run them hard). 0-60 in 4.7 sec.
Rally Sport Direct’s 2015 WRX & STI Review
I’m going to let this video speak for itself, but Rally Sport Direct (RSD) has both a 2015 WRX and a 2015 STI that they’ve recently reviewed. The review is more off-the-cuff in nature (it is not a technical review by any means). They’re also a good vendor to purchase parts from, too.
Without further delays, here it is!
ReBlog – Subaru’s Unsuccessful Stint In Formula 1
http://aclassblog.wordpress.com/2014/05/07/subarus-unsuccessful-stint-in-formula-1/
In the world of rallying, Subaru occupy the upper echelon of success. A storied history that spanned multiple decades saw World Rally Championships for the likes of Colin McRae and Petter Solberg.
I saw this on another blogger’ site. This is a very interesting article, as I had no idea that Subaru participated in F1, short-winded stint as it was.
Subaru did not do so well in F1…it seems that maybe their expectations weren’t realistic or maybe they didn’t understand the full undertaking of such a project.
2015 Subaru WRX STI: Everything You Need To Know — AFTER/DRIVE
This is the best 2015 STI review I’ve seen yet.
Why? Because it’s an honest review that explains where the real improvements are and how those real improvements translate into a great track experience. It discusses things such as the stupid comments about the lack of a hatch…it discusses that issue with tact. It discusses the active torque vectoring and shows a great example of how such tech helps drivers on track (there’s video footage of it kicking in when a driver is overshooting the apex of a corner).
I really liked how the three guys discussed the car and how they were rational when discussing the differences between the STI and WRX. They gave solid feedback on why the STI was the overall better buy (not better value buy).
I highly recommend watching this video if you want see an unbiased and frank review.

The Fast Lane – 2015 STI Press Release Review
Yes, I’ve yet another (rave) review of the 2015 STI.
No, I don’t agree with everything said, but I can appreciate their interpretation of the new car. The most I appreciate is the lack of whining of there being no hatch, it’s looks, and the fact that they’re still using the EJ257. As well, it was money when he said that the WRX and STI were like “night and day” different and that they are not the same and that there’s so much more to the STI than the $10K difference between it and the WRX. I need to copy that last sentence and paste it to IWSTI and other social media car sites, because it needs to be repeated!
I did not agree with them that it was probably not a good daily driver. I also didn’t care about their comparison of the WRX (they didn’t beat that dead horse as much as Motor Authority did in their review, though).
The video is below:
Another Press Release Review – 2015 Subaru STI
http://www.drivingsports.com/v2/2015-subaru-wrx-sti-first-drive/
I liked this review much better than Motor Authority’s review that I posted about earlier. They focus much more on the STI (as they should) than it’s little brother (WRX).
Here’s what I gleaned from the review:
- SI Drive now has memory (it apparently stores the settings in memory so that you’ll no longer have to place the car in S# every time you start the car).
- Has a totally different suspension setup than the WRX (inverted struts?)…apparently handling is has improved a good bit.
- Understeer has been dialed out…no more turning and the car continuing straight off the track (and you can actually see some slight oversteer at the beginning of the track session, in the Cork Screw).
- Many people think the 6-sp transmission hasn’t changed…it hasn’t but it has been improved upon (the shift linkage now offers more ‘positive’ shifting).
I’ll try to post more as I find them.
