2015 Subaru WRX STI Review

    I find Japanese cars to be a safe choice when buying any type of car. What I mean by that is you know that any car you pick from a brand like Mazda or Toyota is going to be reliable, safe, comfortable, and get relatively good mpg. But one thing is true about four out of the five brands: they all have a flagship car. Mazda has the Miata, Nissan has the GT-R, and Honda has the Accord (rather boringly), and Toyota has the Prius. But Subaru hasn't had a real showroom car until now. Even though it's been around for a while, it has never been so cool or impressive that is has been worthy of being a flagship. And for good reason, because it has a 305-hp, 2.5 liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is capable of doing 0-60 in an astonishing 5.1 seconds. The interior is all-business, with good ergonomics and designed to be as functional as possible. I am glad that Subaru now has a flagship, but I think it should be a little more iconic, and maybe try to convey Subaru's rally image better.
