I dont think dealerships would let you drift or push the car too much, but like i said, how would you be able to experience the full potential of the car without upsetting the salesman, or dealership? This would be my first NEW car purchase and test drive at a dealership, so any tips or advice would be appreciated.  |
I've actually had some dealers let me push the car a bit. After regular driving of about 5mins just ask them if you can test out the acceleration, and afterwards the braking. Just don't ask them while already "testing" the acceleration
As for cornering capabilities, I'd say that would depend on the area you were test driving the car in. It would be harder if the area had a lot of 90° turns, as opposed to longer sweeping curves. Also how fast you could take a corner would depend on traffic of course.
Just don't go too far and you'll be fine

You probably know more details on the STi version than I do
The only thing I'm REALLY looking forward to with the STi is something I read somewhere here, probably in the news/blog section, that the STi is going to have an extra 50(ish?) hp while still being NA. CF Roof is nice too.
