  • MOTORWEEK has been around forever its the first TV car review show,now all the need to do is hire people who know how to drive a car.I own a stock 2008 STI and after it's first oil change with 3,000 miles on it at Englishtown NJ it pulled a 1.79 60ft and ran the 1/4 in 13.1 at 103mph Motorweek you need to HIRING DRIVERS

  • @thinkfas

    I've read most of the comments as they've come in. I suspect most folks agree, it looked as if the track was wet when tested. Plus test cars can have variables. Perhaps the clutch was already partially chewed before Motorweek got it. Perhaps the hydraulics were bad (not enough brake fluid in the clutch reservoir?) One can't always blame the driver.

  • On PBS since 1981. They now post their reviews to YouTube, so you can watch them here (which is why I stopped posting these).

  • Just one question. WHY THE HELL ABANDON THE UNIQUE AND WINNING BODY STYLE!!!!????  Just wondering, that's all.

  • They didn't offer a hatchback last year... so, they'll probably only offer the sedan version for the upcoming year.

  • am i the only one that likes the hatchback better?

  • 2:05 PLEASE! The center differential does NOT vary the torque split! It only locks or frees up the center diff!

  • @samchungrrt Absolutely. Smart thinking. There are so many factors that can add up to poor performance of any particular car. It's funny, stuff like that is commonly overlooked. That being said, motorweek still needs better drivers in my opinion, they have always had problems, lol. :)

  • @durania717 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a Mustang. I've driven a few, there's no mistake that its a Mustang.

  • wow... 14 in the quarter ??

    i thought the STI would be mid 13s ....

  • I dont get it...they re-styled the sti for rally...wrc...and now they're leaving wrc...WHAT!?

  • @thinkfas 0-60 5.6 seconds sti are relatively slower to 60 compare to lancer ralliart 5.4 sec and 14 sec at 98 MPH...

  • 0-60 5.6 seconds sti are relatively slower to 60 compare to lancer ralliart 5.4 sec and 14 sec at 98 MPH...
