the WRX was the worst overall on the test
I was reading a car magazine last night(I am not sure if it was a Road and track, car and driver or something else). Well the tittle says fast cars for $25000.
http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1
They tested :
Scion Supercharger(red)
Cobalt SS supercharger(blue)
Acura RSX(white)
SRT-4(orange/brown color)
WRX(red)
The WRX did pathetic, the worst 0-100mph, even on the 0-60mph it ran like crap considering that it was the only AWD car on the test, the worst acceleration from a roll, on of the worst braking, and almost play last on the road course, excesive body roll, etc, etc.
I am so glad that I traded my WRX for an MR, I never look back. Anyway, you guys must read the road test, the WRX made embarassing performance numbers

i am an avid C&D reader, and go the mag a few weeks ago. i was a little bit surprised but you have to remember that car and driver has ALWAYS ( i have been reading for years) been biast towards honda/acura. good article though, especially picking the srt-4 in 3rd. sure to **** some dip****s off.
