Video: Tiff test-drives the Subaru WRX STI

March 26th 2008 10:30

One of the most eagerly-awaited test-drives of the new generation Subaru WRX STI finally took place when Fifth Gear's Tiff Needell jumped into the driver's seat of the latest pocket rocket from Japan.

Sure, the standard WRX has its detractors with its ungainly looks but the aggressively styled WRX STI is a different animal altogether with its wildly flared wheel arches and sophisticated all-wheel drive system. There will still be Subie fans out there with a preference for the styling of yesteryear - and we tend to agree with them - but one thing that everything would have to agree on is that in terms of bang for your bucks, the Subaru WRX STI is right up there on the top of Fuji mountain.

Watch the video and see Tiff put the new top Rex through its paces or click here to learn more about this model.

Video: VW Golf GTI vs Subaru WRX

March 19th 2008 09:30

In the blue corner, we have the challenger and one of the newest entries in the world of hot hatches: the rally icon Subaru Impreza WRX. Lurking in the white corner is one of the current kings of the aforementioned segment: the award-winning Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Which one would come out on top in a shootout between the two turbocharged hot hatches?

In the latest episode of UK motoring show Fifth Gear, host Vicki Butler-Henderson pits the front-wheel drive 2.0-litre FSI turbocharged VW Golf GTI against the 2.5-litre horizontally-opposed turbocharged Subaru WRX against one another on a racetrack.

On paper, the WRX comes out trumps with advantages including half a litre up on displacement, all-wheel drive and 169 kW of power compared to the GTI's 147 kW but before you come up with any conclusions, watch the video and be prepared to be surprised!
