@@agilenjeyamraj1739 it has a close ration gear box so rpms are a little higher than most cars. If im not mistaken 60mph is about 2600 rpm. problem is if you go 70mph and up i think that is above 3000 rpm. Then you get poor gas mileage and the car feels like its always partially in boost. As for Drive modes, this effects the throttle mapping which i think is what you mean.

One thing nobody is really talking about regarding the wing is, how much is style, and how much is actually needed for downforce. Personally I don't like the way it looks, but if it really helped cornering at high speeds or was necessary I wouldn't care what it looks like. On the other hand, I prefer my cars to be sleepers, understated, but surprisingly capable when called into battle. If the wing wasn't going to help me a lot while driving, Im probably the guy that would do the delete. Databyter

Lastly, imo I would wait for the 2021 at this point. The current car is quite an old platform dating back to 2004.

Yes the wing is “iconic”, but seasons change. The STI is a kids car. Some people over 30 would still like to drive an STi, but it’s nice to have the option to ditch the wing. STi kids are growing up and buying Audi’s. Rather have an RS3 with more performance and some class. I had 3 STi’s and can’t see getting another one unless this car gets more power, and some better fuel economy. It will always have a following, but I would go wingless. Or tint the windows dark so nobody can see me in that thing

It was bought in Florida, then for some reason sold and went to auction. A dealer here in Texas picked it up. This car now has around 6700 miles on it. Fun car. Thought I would give a little history on it from when you test drove it.

I think there is a third option that Subaru missed the boat on, a speed sensitive retractable spoiler, "active aero", like you can get on a Porsche or Audi. Something that is subtle and functional! Why should German manufacturers be the ones to seemingly be the ones to incorporate this feature. Come to think of it I am also surprised someone hasn't fabricated one up and taken it to Sema.

the 2009 2.5L and up Subaru WRX(non sti) would do 0-60 in 4.7 secs stock. The newer WRXs suck though with the 2.0 engine. I think that is why Subaru choose to have the 2.0 engines in the current WRXs to give it less torque and because they were beating the STIs stock in 0-60 when they had the old 2.5L engines.

WRX STI or Civic Type R.... I will be 42 next May when I make the decision which would probably be a bit easier if the TYPE R didn't look so "juvenile" (mostly from the rear due to the massive wing) If I go for the TYPE R it would likely be in black and the STI would be a "Limited" model seeing this is the ONLY way to have the "spoiler DELETE" driving the price a bit passed $40K or a bit more than the TYPE R.

I can't believe no one responded to this as it's one of the most common questions for Subie owners in my experience. 3 years late but to answer your question, almost every wing has *some* limited function in terms of downforce. But I seriously doubt the stock tune took the wing into account in any meaningful way. The wing these days is mostly for the Subie tradition of having a massive spoiler. It probably had more function on the consumer cars in the early 2000's when Subaru was dominating rally racing than it does now. Again, now it's more to keep with tradition, but it has pretty much the same downforce impact than basically any (properly installed) spoiler is going to have. Either way that's only really going to matter when going over 100mph.

@@corvo793 Thanks for your response! Every time I see a giant wing on a car, I remember a friend from college who like to say, it's like a handle so that god can reach down and pick up the car. This image always makes me chuckle.

My answer is yes! I am 50 and I do not care for that boy racer look. Maybe when I was younger. Love the videos sir! P.s. get one without the wing one will have a STI that is different and kinda special.

I give the wingless option a zonk. I have had the 2005 and I deleted the wing but then the car felt less special. Nowadays, I am old without a doubt and have a 2015 and love the wing. It is a signature attribute of the model. And I think the wing is done really well for a boxey picnic bench. Haha. Just chiming in with my .02 dollars. --Michael

Joe what has better handling a STI or BRZ and what has the better wheel feel and shifter feel?
@loriraiti4924
@loriraiti4924 4 жыл бұрын
Great question! In my opinion it's an apples to oranges comparison - two very different cars with very different overall feel. BRZ is that sporty, rear wheel drive feeling, super slick shifting and feels like a little suction cup. STI is a powerhouse where the all wheel drive grips the pavement like a beast, super slick shifting as well.
