Nice video. I got a 2011 STI in April of 2011. The Sedan with the wing. Definitely the best car I have owned to date. A treat to drive and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Has all the toys inside and out. Plasma Blue. You can drive it like a Sunday school teacher or you can drive it like Ken Block... It can do both!!!... This car Rocks and looks very cool... Get lots of complements when driving her.
Just test drove my first 2011 sti. Was considering the new (american version) Passat. My attempt at continuing the practical path currently driving a 2000 Maxima. I have been longing for sportier drive, but Im still practical. Sti seems to be a perfect mix of sports driving but as you stated versatile. My drive just reassured me I am saving up for an Sti!
I own a JDM '08 sti and it is everything I could ever want from a car. For the money, heck, even forgetting the price, there really isn't another car in the world that has the balance or abilities of an sti with all the other amenities--space, lack of ostentation, versatility, handling prowess, indestructibility, etc. You have good taste in vehicles.
Would have loved to see more of the exterior of this vehicle. I'm giving serious thought to purchasing an STI the beginning of 2012 and have scoured the web unsuccessfully for video of a 5 door in silver. Nice video nonetheless.
Nice review mat and I agree with the GTI comments, I own one which I have modified to a mid 13 sec car, revised suspension etc. but they lack character and feedback which is what makes driving fun! The ESP, EBD, ABS etc is all too intrusive and takes the fun out of driving as you cant fully switch it all off, yest they have better interior and so on but enjoying driving is more about the emotions the car gives you. STI, nice and raw and more feel :D
