2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Sedan

For 2011, the  Subaru Impreza WRX STI  gets upgraded audio features, STI-inspired styling for the WRX and a sedan version of the WRX STI. There's something here for everyone, ranging from the sensible base Impreza 2.5i hatchback to the wickedly fast WRX STI sedan. The 2011 Subaru Impreza is available in four-door sedan and four-door hatchback body styles. Trim levels include 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, Outback Sport, WRX, WRX Premium, WRX Limited, WRX STI and WRX STI Limited. The Outback Sport hatchback is only, while the WRX STI Limited is sedan only. The Outback Sport is similar to the 2.5i Premium trim levels but has 17-inch alloy wheels, a raised suspension for more ground clearance, foglights, roof rails, bumper under-Guards, unique exterior trim, special interior upholstery and a standard All Weather package (heated front seats, heated mirrors and windshield wiper de-icer).  
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is equipped similarly to the WRX, but ups the performance ante Further event. It gains a six-speed manual transmission, 18-inch wheels, high-performance tires, Brembo brakes, front and rear limited-slip differentials, SI-Drive vehicle settings, an even more aggressively tuned suspension, a bigger hood scoop, xenon headlights , sport seats and faux-suede and leather upholstery. The WRX STI Limited adds foglights, 18-inch BBS wheels, the sunroof and leather upholstery package. A navigation system is optional on the STI trims as wel


The
Subaru Impreza WRX STI alludes to the WRC rally car, and installments for years now, Subaru STI has Offered the Americans with even more power. Now, Subaru is trumping its STI with the TS, the which stands for "tuned by STI" and Strikes us as redundant. For one thing, the STI TS loses the STI's massive rear wing, instead sporting a discreet lip spoiler. The Impreza STI TS is only available as a four-door sedan. Like the regular STI's, the TS's exhaust note is remarkably unobtrusive, and for our taste, it Could Be a bit more aggressive. While the TS's first run of 500 units will from be confined to the Japanese market, Subaru is considering launching Seriously-the-line abroad. We Would like to see the TS Further separated from the WRX and STI models, but the STI TS is a great first step.

The 2010
Subaru Impreza WRX STI Special Edition does not make much sense as a business plan. With an upgraded suspension and a Slightly decontended interior, it's a better handling of STI for less money. Changes consist of stiffer springs all around, thicker stabilizer bars, a lower ride height, front pillow-ball bushings, rear subframe and stiffer bushings. Subaru says the upgraded suspension means "reduced body roll, more neutral handling response, and higher lateral-G capability."
