Was it worth the wait? Is it better than the Volkswagen Golf R or the Subaru WRX STI? Sounds like time for a video road test.

The car’s turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-4 has been tuned to deliver over 500 horsepower, thanks mostly to some calibration of the ECU. The engine’s cooling system and some internals were also upgraded to suit the new output...
