Hatch Only Era WRX
Wasn't there a period where we only had a Hatch for wrx/sti? I thought the 08-11 was Hatch only?
I can't find anything online about it with my searches so I'm wrong, crazy or right... Idk Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

08-14 there was a hatch version of the WRX and STI. Earlier than that, the STI was only available as a sedan.
Hopefully when the next gen WRX releases we will see the hatch again. Last edited by tehShirt; 06-22-2018 at 11:02 AM. |

Being in Vermont, I can attest that I never saw an STI in sedan form through the years of 08-10. I know the wrx had a sedan, but the sti I think was hatchback only until 2011 maybe

Is there a reason why people prefer the hatch? Looks, practicality?

Honestly, I think the hatchback looks better too.
Even with the current Impreza, I feel like the sedan looks too.... sedate? The hatchback (while also no beauty queen) at least looks purposeful. Plus practicality can be used to justify this terribly-irrational purchase as perfectly rational. |

But weren't they always sedans? Even back in the 80s? Wasn't the hatch only a single iteration? I know there were those cool station wagons but I think only one gen with the hatchback. Or maybe two? I think one with a factory wide body look and one without? I'm rusty on my imprezas

I guess just personal preference, although I read somewhere (IIRC) that the sedans are more dynamically rewarding? I personally like both, but the fat-assed hatchback looks awesome.
