Test Drive Subaru Impreza Sedan since 2012 Sedan

Beast

Passion, knife, power. This is impreza wrx sti. You or do it for her, or do not suit: is still - delicacy neither for a penny! But there is power. 280 horses, a hefty anti-cycle on the lid of the trunk and a cheeky nostril on the hood. The fastest Impreza has become perfect technically. And only strengthened his charisma - almost incredible exception to the rules today.
 
The operating volume of the engine increased and is 2.5 l: half-liters are greater than the oligation digit for sports according to the N4 group. However, we are not with you to go to the technical commission, but for the pleasure of driving. An additional working volume in such trips is prevented by little to and rarely. The transmission received an electronically controlled blocking of the central differential. Moreover, the node is called DCCD (Driver's Control Center Differential): The driver can refuse the default electronic center algorithm of the center and select the fixed stiffness of the lock. Rotating the wheel on the center console and changing this parameter as much as possible, from free to the blocked state, the driver changes the nature of the reaction of the filing machine - the gas reset.
 
The new person is not noted impossible. In life, the car looks much better than in the photo. Impreza drank, and her glance became more intriguing. FASHAS The machine seems more spilled and aggressive, more reliably pressed against the ground compared with the previous version. An additional ward appeared above the top slice of the rear window, and the air flow coming out from under the bottom is now neatly combed with a deflector.
 
The staffing equipment includes the magnificent Bridgestone Potenza Re070 tires, seen earlier on the version of Limited. These rollers are practically alone adapted to ride on public roads. That is, they will not erase you during one turn around the Moscow Ring Road and will not make it difficult to master the skills of the water lodge even in heavy rain. However, this tires are heated in an adult, and does not swim. Powerfully holds and is not closed under load. The main thing will slide like racing tires: with a smooth break and further - stable. Without hysterical visa, smoke and other extremes. For her, riding in a slide - normal working conditions, but the movement in a row of a steady MKAD is a fermented Extreme: the car rides like a grasshopper, and on the exercise the informative steering wheel, such jums come on, that the steering wheel does not seem to be unnecessar than the steering wheel, and the rake is unnecessarily long.
 
Landing in a chair with an integrated headrest STI-Ergonomic logo, and would be quite comfortable if it were not for the machine: the possibilities of the side support of the rider with a modestly planned regular seat to compensate for those side accelerations that can develop impreza at the limit. Linear informative, by no means light pedals are spread quite wide for the legs of any size, the platform for recreation is located where the driver is looking for support. The 6-speed KP lever is a short-fitting short-circuit with a clear fixation, however, the effort on it may seem unnecessar than large for quick work, and switching with displacement 2-3 or 4-3 requires attention and hard hand. In any case, the driving discipline tears: unnecessary switches and fuss avoid natural order.
 
When somewhere in the lower part of the peripheral vision field, a plump hump of an intercooler air intake, when blood flies into the beat with an interstitious idle peregazov, all these comments become small and not significant notes on the fields of anti-cycle. Impreza WRX STI is still alive: it still did not settled the man-made boredom of indisputable perfection. She is still not shy to drink a drunken mixture of 98th gasoline and passion to rapidly ride in large sips and is not afraid to spill a little: in the peak of colleagues who prefer with a guarantee from losses to cure such a cocktail through the straw. Are you ready to drink with her on Brucershaft?
 
Convex and elastic, like most other forms of the machine, turbophust jerk on each of the transmissions ends with a flash of the programmable Shift Light and the calling of the buzzer - in case you are shared. Turboyama. There is a real turboyam to 2500 RPM. But there is also a powerful saber wave rising to 4000. Impreza WRX STI is completely incorrecting: a fool, who was behind her steering wheel, she, not embarrassed in expressions, would outlines his abilities and thrown out of the saddle, under which there are 280 barbed stallions with hoofs today, in the first turn. Weak - suppress what is accompanied by overclocking to hundreds for 5.5 s and subsequent braking at zero to thirty meters. Today, the primancy of its character seems almost indecent. No partner: Despite the technical compliance with the status of a modern and perfect car, Subaru Impreza WRX STI is still narrowing and passionate.
 
Even if you are created for each other, at the first moment it will try to scare you, seeking to suck the face past the turn or throw the knee when you break the gas at the exit, without waiting for the dynamic center of gravity to drive up for you. And at the same time, a successful union of a skilled driver and a bargaining car begins to turn into symbiosis after several collaborative kilometers later. And then this connection is only stronger, generating endless confidence in each other in response to the lack of a tendency to unexpected whims and unsuccessful jokes at speeds under 150 km / h.
 
Impreza from the Poluslov will understand the knowledge of the Classical School of Control Fast Allowers. To the one who can in any situation progressively steer, subtly control the mass distribution and accurately feel the moment of transition of the machine from the maneuver phase to sustainable circulation and output, the new electron-managed central differential gave more opportunities to control the machine in the power slide, but did not change the obstivities Classical management theory.
 
Yes, in case of error you do not have to rely on the opportunity to turn the steered wheels in the rotation and manic pressure on the gas, expecting a crash and electronics howls transmission car driver fix a fatal error. And if you have failed in terms of turnover, the motor does not pull to one and a half thousand. However, the management of Impreza WRX STI on the racetrack or winding path remains subject only to the person who is between the steering wheel and the seat. And it is a responsibility for the welfare of both: once trusting the driver, Impreza obey him blindly and does not climb to the tips.
