Motor Trend recently pitted the Subaru WRX STI against some
formidable opponents: the Mercedes CLA45 AMG and the BMW M235i. Both vehicles
cost significantly more than the WRX STI, so you might
be surprised to know that the WRX STI came out on top as the best choice for
performance out of the three vehicles. If you’re interested in performance
cars, you definitely want to take the time to read the article and find out all
the specifics.
Motor Trend noted that the WRX STI responds well to back road driving. The flat-bottomed steering wheel suits the vehicle, in contrast to the electronic steering (and issues) you see in other similar cars. The all-wheel drive kept oversteer at bay as testers threw the car into turns. It outpaced the BMW and the AMG in most tests, with “verifiable stickiness” that kept the WRX STI firmly rooted on the road for faster times.
On top of better performance, the WRX STI can be driven off road, which you can’t say for the other two cars, and you can take friends along comfortably with no scrunching in the backseat.
But what reviewers loved the best about the car was the feeling it gave them when they were behind the wheel. That’s an important aspect of buying a car, especially when it comes to high-end premium sports cars. The WRX STI was relentless and kept begging for more when the testers drove the Subaru hard and fast. It kept up with much more expensive vehicles on the road and is a more practical car. It’s also a lot more fun to drive and teaches you about driving, the reviewers said. The Subaru WRX STI can cruise along or put you to the test and ask you to be a better driver than before–and that’s always a good thing when it comes to an investment in an exciting car.
