    Car and Driver STI Article

    Saw that. Good story. Photo shoot was held at Team O'Neil facility, and def not enough sideways in the pics tho! Interesting performance comparos...the 04 STI was a beast. Faster, lighter, quicker than the 2015 car. BEt the 2015 is a lot more livable day to day and less rally-racer raw, tho...
