Super TestCar reviews - Subaru - Impreza - WRX STi sedanSubaru modelsStand Out Features22 May 2002 THE STi's engine is always a standout feature given its higher power output than the standard WRX, but also because of the introduction of variable valve timing this time around, which aids driveability. The front torque-sensing limited slip differential is a new addition to the STi's spec sheet and succeeds in making the car an even faster point to point proposition than it was previously. It enables the STi to break free of the shackles of understeer when exiting a corner under power and also helps the super Sube to keep pace with its main rival, Mitsubishi's Lancer Evo, which employs a high-tech four-wheel drive system with Active Yaw Control to dial out understeer and oversteer through the front and rear differentials. Did you know?The ultimate STi is the Impreza 22B STi. It's based on the World Rally Championship car of the day and just 424 examples were produced - 400 of these were for the Japanese domestic market and sold out in 48 hours. Five of them came to Australia in late 1998, priced at $120,000.All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
