Yup, new Gen Wrx is a monster. Interior is also top notch. Now if they can up the fuel mileage a bit more, it'd be perfect...
MPG won't happen with a full-time AWD setup. That said, I still want to get a 2015 WRX STI. Unfortunately, I need another three or four months exercising my left knee to see if it will hold up or not.
Which would be what exactly? The fact that you cannot defeat the stability control fully on pre-2012 models, or the fact that we don't get headlight washers with our HID equipped cars, or auto-headlights... or folding down mirrors, reverse cams, puddle lights... etc. Most of those are standard on the new WRX/STis
And the interior argument?

dead horse.
I pulled on a '15 WRX a little while back. I could hear him trying to lol. I've only got some bolt ones right now.
I have a buddy who just got the new Rex with an automatic transmission. I just went to a stage two on my gti, so I wonder how it will end up. I'll keep you posted if we have a chance to race.
as long as you don't dig race, you'll do alright.
dat awd launch is hard doe
Think so even with the automatic CVT? I hear 5.8 is the best it can do to sixty, and my car definitely has more power on the ground (higher output, period...and on top of that I have less power train loss fwd vs awd). I think it would be close from a dig too, with good tires. On the highway I'll spank him all day. 280hp and 310lbft will sort a new wrx on the highway for sure.
With your numbers, you should win from a dig or roll vs a CVT. Honestly, I'd think having the CVT would limit the WRX from either scenario - unless its equipped with launch control. If it were a 6MT, you'd have a better race on your hands - a person that knows how to properly launch an AWD car is someone to be respected.
Yeah. The 6speed would more than likely walk off the line (if they are willing to aggressively launch the car). All the posted 0-60 and 1/4 miles include a very aggressive launch. Most people don't know how, let alone willing to attempt it. I think they have some sort of launch system, but I hear there is a delay in the throttle due to the cvt. can't wait to see him this weekend!
