I really wanted to try STI 330S, which took part in the mileage of the “Car of the Year” last month. The guys from Subaru flashed fiercely that they would be able to return the “light” of the previous STI: the basis for their evidence was increased from 300 to 330 liters. With. Power, increased torque – from 407 to 470 nm, as well as a new exhaust with a bass voice. You will also receive new five -spoke wheels, navigator, Recaro seats and “button” ignition. However, all this good will cost you £ 4400, plus the cost of the car – £ 26. 595 for STI. Are there any changes in their money?
I liked the navigator and very comfortable seats with an tenacious surface, but the five -spoke disks did not come here to the place (matt gray from Prodrive look much cooler), and the ignition button – what is it in such a machine? What to say. The car has become a little faster and assertive than our STI – but the difference is minimal. The sound of the engine became more hoarse, but again – only a little. Nobody “conjured” above the suspension, and therefore the reactions to the steering wheel remained at the same average level: the wheels will first think, and only then go into the turn. I have to feel the trajectory – and I was so hoping that this drawback would be corrected.
Can I recommend a tuning package “S”? No. You will not get anything significantly new, just throw the money down the wind. So the real Subaru Impreza fan will have to wait-either a successful tuning project, or a fundamentally new Generation of STI.
