New WRX revealed.

fiestaz · 11-09-2021, 12:00 PM

It was a hot topic last time and now it is here. Can’t say I am impressed. Following Subarus norm now of side stepping. Has a lot of SUV like black plastics over wheel arches too. But that’s my opinion.

My brother in law has the previous model, drives like an oldskool turbo car, it feels laggy, interesting that they've got peak torque coming in earlier and holding on longer with this one.

I don't mind the looks.

Like I said I expected to be disappointed like I have been for as long as I can remember. At least Subaru is consistent in letting me down

I can always look at a good WRX (MY03) in my garage though. Would never buy one of these new ones.

Yep, wish the Sprint had one

What's with the plastic guards? It's not an XV.
I'll pass on that one tbh.
But I like AU falcons so I have no taste apprantly

Previous model looked way better Imo.

Previous Gen did look really good I agree.

**Giant Cranium** · 11-09-2021, 03:04 PM

Yawn. They are playing an odd game with 202kw. These days you need to show up with 300

**DJM83** · 11-09-2021, 03:37 PM

I'd take one of these any day over that.

Folks probably reckon it's ugly too.
Stunner in my eyes

MercuryT · 11-09-2021, 04:04 PM

Looks sh'thouse.

Probably a great car though

MercuryT · 11-09-2021, 04:05 PM

Would look much better in black to hide the awful black bits on the car

More torque too.
I Love that colour.

MercuryT · 11-09-2021, 05:09 PM

I'd have the WRX before that girly hatchback above.

It's a nice colour admittedly.

For a hatchback it looks great. (I hate hatchbacks)

Needs to be a coupe and would look far better

Agree on Subaru.

Bloody good isn't it.
If I didn't need a Ute and love the turbo barra like a brother.
There'd be a MK4 ST in manual in my garage.

This WRX though.
Nah

Yeah but Subaru has been the new Volvo for a long time now, every time there's some flog going 30 under the speed limit around here its some old bloke in a new Subaru outback.

Also the car of choice for the L of the LGBTQIA+ crew

Their priorities for their cars must be different to ours as car enthusiasts

Absolutely.

Just look at who drives them, more so than ever.

Plus they are useless in practicality outside a girl with kids.

If you like them though go for it.

**Giant Cranium** · 11-09-2021, 06:38 PM

This is my liberty gt. I reckon it’s the last of the good Subarus

I prefer the wagon version as much more useful but that's a really nice looking car

So what are you implying?
I had an XR5 turbo and a Focus ST also.
And would buy one of either again in a heartbeat.
Grow up

Yeh I wanted the wagon but I paid 10500 and wagons were 15. Couldn’t justify it. But would rather the wagon everyday

This thread was about good conversation and debate. Not outright attacks. Don’t ruin it (like many others) thanks.

I think he is saying you are a girl. Like a single mum with kids who is a bit of a good time girl.

If you don't like either there are plenty more threads that you can post in instead of trolling this one.
