I love this car 😂 loved my ‘22 & this tS doing what I’d expect honestly.
If you ever get a chance to drive one:
Pros:
- The Brembos feel like they’re made for this car
- The interior is extremelyyy satisfying
- The Recaro seats alone are impressive how tight they bolster (may be an issue if you don’t like this kind of seat)
- The throttle response differences are extremely easy to tell apart (much more responsive in sport+)
- Steering is really nice when being able to go into comfort or normal while being in smaller places like parking lots or neighborhoods
- Digital dash is actually a nice touch
Cons
- The seats are a lil uncomfortable on longer drives once you own this shi long enough to realize it
- STI badged pieces are cool but NOT EVEN a slight HP/TQ bump?? No STI short shifter or exhaust from factory? Huge L
- (No rev match? (Why). This car isn’t cheap enough to ignore putting that in. It’s a small market of manual cars left alive still, they fell short with this)
**|| Edit || My last 5 cars have all been auto, I’m just saying that for this price range, why isn’t it an obvious feature**
- High ride height suspension factory (rally car, I get it)
- The factory wheels are actually nice but impossible to clean quickly & the Brembos themselves shit dust if you just look at them wrong
- The car needs money put into it to look decent (personally this is a pro to me since you can have 97262826 build options to go try for)
- The eyesight is so annoying like everyone said it was & turning it off each time I turn the car on is honest punishment
• Outta all the cars I’ve owned & driven, this has definitely been the best for overall aspects. It’s definitely a really good all around car for storage space/AWD/sport. Even after driving an Integra Type S for a week, I kept missing my car so if you like WRXs, this will be a nicely updated familiar feeling.
