Can't satisfied 100% of the crowds or people . I dunno what's kai ... But if you meant by Kia ... They're well known of being a copycat of the popular model right ?

And for those whose comparing our twin and the other twin (wrx/Sti) ....why confuse ... Get both ! I know I did

Test drive won't really tell how good they are .

I'm still really really tempted to do it but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger. I finally drove a 2015 WRX last weekend and it was a much better car than what I remember my 2012 being. The steering and suspension are without a doubt a huge improvement.


The gearbox is still kind of so-so (still better than the old one) and the power isn't bad but the delivery is definitely different.


I feel like if they put some sort of FA motor into the STI, then I would almost definitely sell my FRS and jump into one. The normal WRX just doesn't check all of the boxes and I feel like the new STI probably would if it came with the updated FA engine in it.


Only time will tell.
