    That is quite ridiculous haha in a Stang especially. They shouldn't have to resort to such a ridiculous thing in such an iconic vehicle.

    BMW and Audi have been doing that for a while. Actually a few cars with it.

    But when you go with a motor that small..makes sense.

    I will say a co worker of mine has the Abarth 500 and it sounds awesome for a lil piss ant motor.

    Then again, anyone who buys the 2.3l is a power just cause they can't afford the v8..which a true car guy would get cause...well...cause mustang..duh haha

    I like the way you think Ben :D the new WRX hasn't grown on me looks department quite yet but everything else seems to be there. Lots of people seem to be enjoying their 2015's.

    Good video. Hate watching all these idiotic blogger "journalists" and all the dumb comments they have. And does every damn video have to have dubstep? just let me hear the car/motorcycle fer f**ks sake! damn kids and their skinny jeans anyway.

    Yeah they've always retained a little bit of that Subaru ugliness lol. I've only seen one 15 WRX in person and i was pleasantly surprised. Much better than it looked in pictures.

    I'm pretty fond of the grey, but much respect for the blue, it's iconic.

    Also, nice videos above guys. That review style is great. No BS just driven.

    Ben i've never regarded subaru as super reliable? had friends with them and it seemed like they were fixing them lots (outbacks in general not wrx's, I have not done any research on it like you probably have but thats..imo) I had a friend with the old 80's wagon that looked like a wedge and that thing took a beating and went just about everywhere, great car.
