can u even drive MT? like REALLY drive it? folks dat are complaining about torque on da STI is trying to pull in the wrong gear. remember, it's a 4 banger turbo. have to use upper RPM where most Z drivers would not downshift, u have to downshift on da STI. datz another reason why it's fun to drive too cause you really need to be good a driving MT to make this car go fast and da tranny is very forgiving if you're good at it.. like going into 1st gear at 18-20mph, no issue.  u wouldnt even think of doing dat on a Z right? i mean i wouldn't, id just use 2nd gear. well guess wat, ure in da wrong gear den if u did dat on the STI.
i suppose if one was an avid S2K driver he/she'd know how to drive the STI properly.  |
I know how to drive stick. It's been awhile, but I feelz u. You have a small range to pull Max torque and it's up high. If you don't rev em out, they don't go.
You're right about the Z, to a point. I mean you can essentially drive it in second gear but if you know how to shift, you can use the first 4 speeds and have lots of fun on the streets.
When it comes to the STi. I'm an antagonist. I just thought the Evo was a lot better in terms of driving feel. Better feedback, all more confidence inspiring. I don't care for the wrx styling. I outgrew it about 5 years ago.
I respect the **** out of the wrx though. It's a great Z alternative. I wouldn't call it better or worse than a Z. It's more of a car that gives you alternative experience. I would say.if you own both cars, you have cornered sport driving on both sides of the spectrum.
