If you like SUBI, you've already read our first drive. Headlines for 2010-V-2011 has been changed to WRX STI model was a widebody fenders and 1.3-inch wider track. They want to know whether the increase in volume no difference for the victory and relatively affordable WRX made, we decided to spend some quality time in the example you see here to spend.
We learned a lot. Many things work well in practice lover. Others, not so much.
What works? City begins to narrow, circular road outside San Francisco, connecting the two nodes is irrelevant and off the beaten track. Driving this road needs more time to see the glass as a glass door. Some corners are curved, so flat a lot more interesting. Straights are long enough to speed, fast action, change following the severe braking.
Enter only 25-65 km / h, this time all the requirements for car and driver can offer. We enjoyed a lot and I know that for many regions, every inch of the chassis, suspension use. On the descent, drums. Communicative steering is greatly appreciated, because Intel's way, the difference between smacking a rock wall, ride in a mean gap or cut a perfect climax.
2011 WRX attack on the road. Spinning near the locks, SUBI light steering felt perfectly weighted for this cycle. Luckily the car enough, and thin columns of gas gives good visibility. From his chair, and noted extra width of the car.
What should I do if I think a lot of pushing, pushing, and WRX are buffers (aka bump stops) certainly designed the active portion of the suspension of the vehicle. Lifting points on articulation of the suspension subframe to prevent, or affect housing. In some cars, and is simply hard pads to avoid metal to metal decreases. In the Subaru, they gradually adapted to the procedures for suspension of the energy during the last iota travel suspension.
Braking and turning sharp corners often used by most major rebound. If the procedure necessary repairs or curling pavement was hit in the middle of the corner, where the outer part of the suspension further squeezed. Rather than mess serious consequences and jumping event, the hammer stops WRX absorb more energy and a rapid rebound, which upset the car neutral in 2011, "give Rex incredibly reliable and predictable within limits.
High-performance summer tires will certainly contribute to the stability of the WRX. 235/45R17 measurements are an inch larger than the 2010 series that runs on a new, lighter wheels (less than 1.5 pounds per corner), himself an inch wider. (Those who live in northern climates with four seasons to choose weather tires, or plan to own half set of tires. When the temperature approaches freezing, summer compound tires get hard as a wheelchair and offer as much grip)
When the rhythm track, you start other things about the Subaru WRX 2011th Communication
Compressor 265 hp 2.5-liter flat-four is great. Unlike most cars emit WRX (like most Subaru) a unique sound that enthusiasts can exhaust roar ID without interruption in the conversation, the howling engine delivers the muscle as it moves up and down the power band. On the highway, things are handled in a pleasant buzz, equivalent to driving less vibration. But make no mistake - this is not a quiet car is at rest on top, but if you're looking interior, is unlikely to buy WRX.
How this is done, 2,500 rpm torque curve is flat (read: turbo-layer). But it's coil and 244 pounds feet WRX moves with authority. Impulse is almost linear power output with a little extra just for the reduction of a soft limiter at about 6500 rpm. Min.
And the driving clutch and accelerator easier. We would appreciate more feedback from the clutch pedal, but it is easy to get used to the deck and will not in normal driving.
To also felt light, requires little effort to change the device while still providing a proprietary blend of aggressive Subaru notchiness. Relationship brake and accelerator to-toe downshifting a breeze to heal, even for someone with smaller feet.
Brakes were strong, but our pace was quite aggressive on the pedal is not an offer several times. Smells heating pads waving in the cab more than once, which means weakness and swap fluids before the race.
After the release of our remote and semi-private testing centers, we went to the Pacific Ocean on different roads south of Half Moon Bay. On these roads, we mingled with the traffic and realized that the WRX is against other fans inviting. (For a man in a vintage convertible MGB who tried to hang with our WRX ... a valiant effort. You and the car was very good vintage brakes, skinny tires and the fact his girlfriend was riding shotgun data.)
The legal speed north on Highway 1, including highways WRX wine country to share more about themselves, that only prolonged the wheel time is revealed. For example, light steering feel, which is a clear advantage on twisting roads too easy for regular driving. Also useful to suspend compliance with the airy feel sometimes rolling down the highway pavement. In front of the chair appeared initially be supported, but also very hard for five hours at the helm.
Design details are also made himself known, halogen glow at the end of the speedometer and the tach needle is easier to catch a quick read of these criteria. And to measure the style statement. Before the key, select the black void. Once started, meters and images that come to life are easy to read. Even still, not to be confused WRX interior for anything but professional environment - the controls are where you want, but the overall mood is one of the discount and the inside of a few well-diversified management tools (including round, aluminum pedals and leather gearshift).
Wind noise and is under control, and the cabin was left without a roof blows the window open. There was a noticeable noise, but because the WRX is in the center, the library expects unreasonable. Interestingly, the majority of the sound seemed to come from behind the driver.
At sunset, we soon learned that the only light on style. Good thing threw light and fog will be a cheap upgrade similar position. Of course, other HIDS a solid investment considering how easy it is to the lights in the car to exaggerate so fast.
After some time in 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX, we came away feeling that the simple, practical performance car life. Most people in real life - unlike her imagination - is probably what the 265 horsepower WRX STi is an extra 40 hp seems excessive.
And the extra 1.3-inch, but largely to the car a visual presence with a useful performance. With a starting price of $ 25,495, it is a good agreement, regardless of how it is measured.
