I much prefer the looks of the sedan.  I do like hatches and appreciate the practicality.  Some look great (Mazda3), but something about the proportions on the new Impreza is just not attractice to me.  I think it's the loooong from overhang.  It needs a trunk in back for visual balance.  The STi looks good with it's wide fenders and other cues, but the WRX and standard Impreza 5-door look awkward.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 6th 2008 2:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX vs. STI]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/06/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-subaru-impreza-wrx-vs-sti/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/06/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-subaru-impreza-wrx-vs-sti/</guid><description><![CDATA[Practicality is application specific. <br><br>The hatch is for a better weight ballance.

I own a 2004 WRX, my roommate owns a 2007 STI that I've driven a few times, and I've driven both the 2008 WRX and STI.  I would say that the STI has a decidedly better quality of ride than all of the others.  I didn't feel a jarring sensation throughout my spine on the roughest roads in my area in the 08 STI, which I do feel in my 04 on a regular basis.  I will agree on the tame pedal below the 4000 mark, but I was very impressed with the ride quality.  <br><br>Feel free to read my thoughts/review and comment:<br><a href="http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20498504&postcount=1" rel="nofollow">http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20498504&postcount=1</a><br><br>If you've driven it, please share your opinions.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ChazzMichaelMichaels]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 6th 2008 2:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX vs. STI]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/06/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-subaru-impreza-wrx-vs-sti/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/06/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-subaru-impreza-wrx-vs-sti/</guid><description><![CDATA[Allow me to correct one statement about the pedal being tame.

Been waiting for an STI in a hatch but i sorta wish they wouldn't have changed the styling so much.<br><br>This article is useful for wrx owners because you normally just here the sti is faster so its better argument.  This is a nice contrast.  Is the standard wrx fast?  Sure it is, in fact after four years of ownership it still makes me smile every day that I drive it.

One problem with subaru's both turbo and non turbo (i've owned both types of impreza) is the gas mileage.  Be nice to see around 30-40 on the highway but still be able to scoot when needs be.

The gratuitious slab of fake chrome connecting the tail lights of the WRX is particularly garish and a big tell-tale sign that they were targeting the older Toyota crowd with the regular WRX. I hear the interior quality is acceptable, but it is better than the Lancer which I hear is really bad. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Xcountryflyer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 6th 2008 4:07PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
