"The Subaru WRX and WRX STI
"The Subaru WRX and WRX STI are still the best performance value on the planet.". This may have been a worthy debate back when it first came to America. But the landscape has drastically changed. Plenty of base model sporty cars offer more horsepower than a fully decked out STi for much less money than a WRX. MT Lighting lap results have repeatedly showed where the WRX/STi's place in the performance world is.
WRX/STi are the are clear leaders for hit count when searching for "ringland failure" though. All piston engines have components these right? Combine that with dismal JD Power results. How do these vehicles have any resale value?
Subaru has light years to go before they can be considered the best performance value on this planet.
