Video: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

What happens when I get to take the 2008 Subaru WRX STI for a few days of high-performance frolicking? Snow. Snow and cold. Snow, cold, ice and an assignment to shoot a video about this amazing new hatchback. Check out the video to the left and shoot any questions my way in the comments below.

Dave,

You got pulled over? I saw a patrol car at the end of the clip. (Just kidding)

So how does this one drives like when comparing to the old one and the new WRX hatch?

That was a lame review for such a wicked car. Where is the engine sound? Lets see some sense of the power it has! What does it drive like. How about an onboard camera shot through some corners or over a quarter mile?

This video didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from other sites. He had the car in his hands and this is all we get. Find another job.

Well you might be disappointed about him not flogging the machine to death but there is one important comment at the beginning. The summer tires are really summer tires. I have an 06 STI and I know a few people that have gone a bit nuts with these tires in low temps and either the tire or bodywork paid the price :). you can drive in the cold on them but try and drive the car at its summertime limits ....... and expect an increase in your insurance premiums at worst or a call to tirerack at best. Some coverage is better than none :)
