Above all, I’m looking for a car that’s fun, with the right mix of decent horsepower, but more, exceptionally good reflexes without a punishing ride.

And mechanically its engineers will have to have focused on all the good...

Proof: the gigantic trackside filmstrip animation captured from a rolling 2011 STI in the video below. Instead of putting the frames on paper...

Driven: 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan
On the surface, the 2011 Subaru WRX doesn't sound all that exciting. Sure, it's got a turbo 2.5-liter Boxer four, but only 265 horsepower? The Honda Accord makes more than that. Yeah, it has all-wheel drive, but so does the Lincoln MKS. It wears the widebody treatment of the WRX STI, but it's about...

When Subaru pulled out of the World Rally Championship in late 2008, leaving factory driver and former WRC Champion Petter Solberg and the rest of the team in the lurch, many were shocked, if not surprised. Since then, some have wondered if the rally relevance was going to wane as the product line became more civilized and motorsport faded into the background. But it seems Subaru hasn't let the dream die just yet, as it’s coming back to rally for 2010 with the Impreza WRX STI Spec C. We first heard about the Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C as far back as April 2008 when reports emerged...
