Me - Uhmm yeah no, 200. Have a nice day (I proceeded to get in my car and drive off while he was still trying to talk)
Mind you he was one of those know it all people. Wasn't going to try and stick around
Technically, he was right. There seems to be a difference between what some media outlets say and what the official numbers are. A lot of reviews, including Top Gear if my memory serves me right, stated 197hp. The real number is probably one of these, but 200 is what is officially used, as it sounds better for Toyota/Subaru.
