Test Drive Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Sedan Subaru Impreza WRX STI was originally created to participate in racing competitions. Based on this, it would seem that the driver behind the wheel should not worry about anything but the gas pedal and the road. However, in this case, the Japanese designers thought differently, so the model does not force it to instantly accelerate, but on the contrary, does not oblige or hurry. Convenient Recaro seats with good lateral and back support, even in conditions of sharp turns give the "pilot" confidence, and the sound of the roaring engine is almost not audible. Special preconditions for the admiration of the Salon Subar Impreza WRX STI no, because the interior is dominated by simple elements and materials. On the other hand, this is not the most important thing in a modern racing car, since the driver should be concentrated on the track. He should be interested only in mirrors, steering wheel and armchair, and with this model everything is in order.

The main thing that Subaru Impreza can boast of is WRX STI - the characteristics of the movement.

The Japanese manufacturer duly worked on the controllability of the car, which is at the highest level. At first glance, it may seem that the tractive effort for the machine is not quite enough, although the process of switching the speeds is performed quite quickly. The result of this is the constant desire of the car to move in sharp turns along the outer radius, and the return to the inner one occurs only if the acceleration is reset. For the sake of justice, it should be emphasized that the suspension of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI while driving is doing well, and on the driver's commands through the steering wheel the car reacts instantly.

The test drive of the model is a vivid example of that not only fast driving, but also moderate traffic in urban conditions is a great pleasure.
