Hey,
I really need some opinions from this group. I've had my 17 WRX since Oct. 16', and although I like it a lot, I sometimes feel the frustration of the manual drive; mostly by comparison to models like the GTI which feel substantially easier to drive. For the 18' they really improved in this space so I went to test drive the 18 STi, and it's the first time I've stalled a car in probably 5 years. I can't see how people can drive it smoothly, let alone as daily drivers. Is there a break-in period for the clutch to soften and allow for a smoother shift/drive?
Traditionally, I know the STi is notoriously worse than the WRX in this category, but I've always wanted the STi — the heritage and breed is nostalgic.
Thanks for reading.
