I can't speak for the STI since we don't have 'em here yet, but I did a PDI on a red 2008 WRX on Saturday, and I must say it is FAST! I've never had a first gen WRX out on the road, just in the parking lot after doing an oil change, so I don't know how it compares, but it drives nice! I'm not crazy about the looks myself, although this one was a 4 door sedan so it looks a lot better IMHO than the 5 door (Which to me looks like a shrunken Tribeca).

One of the things on the PDI checksheet is "vehicle performance and handling" so I felt obligated to take it out and open it up :-P I didn't redline it or other such things that are not smart with a vehicle with 12 miles on it...

I'm hopin they send us down to Phoenix to drive 'em on the race track like they did when the STi came out in '04... (Which I missed out on since I didn't work there yet...)
