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.

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. |

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.

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

![]() ![]() FYI I am 100% a straight cisgendered male! ![]() While there seem to be a lot more of this demographic sliding towards the OB's, it's not everyone. I know what you said was in jest. Back on topic though, I am pretty underwhelmed with the new WRX. Being a Subaru owner of a number of them for years, the hype over the new shape was a let down when I saw it. Felt like there was some Honda/KIA accents to the rear end to some extent. I still reckon the 2015 WRX shape is a winner.

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

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

I'd have the WRX before that girly hatchback above.
It's a nice colour admittedly. |

If somebody thought they were impractical they wouldn't buy a hatchback would they? Most people don't need to fit 3 suitcases in the boot and carry 4 passengers though.. also never seen a girl driving an A45, ST, i30N, Megane RS etc. See them more driving around more shiny dual cabs these days which makes sense. Much more practical to drop kids off at school and put two bags of shopping in.

The fact you can get a hatchback with awesome performance should be celebrated. Makes trips to ikea a bit more fun ![]()

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