New Subaru WRX

[Rocket-Boy]

OK - time to compare Apples with Apples:

WRX - R449 000

G7 GTI R - R 498 000

Audi S 3 - R 510 500

Audi S 3 3 dr - R 493 000

BMW - M325 - R 538 346

Only the Audi & G7 is AWD as well.

Some FWD "rivals":

Ford Focus ST3 - R 389 000

Golf GTi - R 392 000

Opel OPC - R 457 000

Renault Megane III RS - R 429 000

Of these ones, Subaru is the only one with a Maintenance plan, has the biggest boot, 7 airbags

The main problem is that none of the other sound like the scooby. Please tell me it still sounds like one?

Canadian,

How much was the previous STI in SA where we live?

This Fazda can enlighten us on. I have near every Car mag back at home so could check it up... 7 years ago.

I don't think it still sounds the same bro, they have lost some character for me. But interior is 1 000 000 000 000 times better these days

[Mike Hoxbig]

Did they finally decide to put in a proper gearbox in this one? The 5-speed box in the previous one was a joke as it effectively limited the top speed to just over 200...

So R95 000 difference between the WRX and the STI. So if you apply the same to the new model then the STI will be R545 000 making it more expensive than the M235i and you get less for your money...

 

[member2204]

What BMW would you compare to this? 335i?

Well, he listed the M235i ... then claimed that the Subaru is the only one that "comes with a maintenance plan" ...whatever that implies.
What does this maintenance plan include, how long is it and how would it compare against BMWs motorplan, which covers almost everything.

I think he only referred to the front wheel drive cars. Not all of them. So he meant out of the last bunch only the Scooby comes with a maintenance plan.

ah, ok.

 

[Maverick Jester]

Hmmm... R35 Skyline crossed with Dodge Charger crossed with Evo X. Nice job though, Subaru.

I concur

I wish they had stuck a bit more to the WRX Concept look. That thing promised a lot and in the end we get a watered down product. Quite disappointing

This is what it could have been..

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Ok I see that it will have a 6-speed box that won't turn the top speed into a joke, as the previous one did

Biggest improvement for me is not the styling, but the interior. It finally looks more premium, and less Corolla...

 

[getafix33]

You Betcha!

I will be driving my new red demo from tonight - our launch is tomorrow - beautiful car to drive!

Nooooooooooooo fair

 

[OrbitalDawn]

How is that auto box?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

How is that auto box?

No idea, and to be honest in a car like this, I wouldn't want one no matter how good it was...

 

[Type RSA]

How is that auto box?

All the online reviewers talked quite highly of it. So I am sure it is not too bad..

 

[getafix33]

Are the service intervals on scoobies still 12500km??

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Yeah, I know. I'm conflicted.

But I just can't see myself buying manual again. 80% of my driving is drudgework.

Cool. Will look out for some reviews.
