After reading a thread here I decided to stop & test drive an sti to see the difference. Now I have a 16 sti limited. I came from a honda fit to the wrx & that was a world of difference. Now from a wrx to an sti I would say its close to as big of change. The steering feels heavier and the car feels more planted. The ride is stiff but less bouncy. Acceleration is way smoother & I don't accidentally "launch" every time I start to go & it cruises at a specific speed better. Only issues so far is I have a hard time blipping into 1st (I'll get it eventually).
The car has warrantee left & there is a few noises I am concerned about. Before I take it in I wanted to run it by people here for alternative opinions & to better know what to tell the service people.
When sitting still if you turn the wheel you get a noise like a squeaky belt when you get close to max turn.
When accelerating, if you let off the sound of air being blown through a tube with a light spring in it comes from behind the glove box.
I will try to get audio but my phone didn't pick up clearly. My cousin will be over with a laptop I can plug a condenser mic into. I will try again.
Noises aside, I absolutely love this car.
