De huidige Impreza is slechts een facelift volgens Subaru, in 2007 zou er een volledig nieuwe komen. Volgens de laatste berichtgeving volgen er in 2007 sowieso drie volledig nieuwe modellen, maar het is nog niet gekend dewelke. En scoops ed zijn ook nog niet verschenen, dus blijf ik er nog beetje achterdochtig over.
For the first time in three years, a limited number of Subaru Legacy STI models have arrived in New Zealand.
Based on the Legacy GT, the Legacy STI has received further fine tuning from the high performance arm of Subaru in Japan - Subaru Tecnica International.
In early 2003 a limited number of the previous model Legacy with STI enhancements was available here. Previous to that, the last time a Legacy STI had been produced was in 1993. In the intervening decade, STI had devoted all its efforts to the flagship Impreza WRX STI.
The latest Legacy STI is available both as a sedan and wagon and comes with unique front and rear spoilersand 12 spoke, 18 inch alloy wheels. All five of the limited edition models for New Zealand are in the World Rally Blue colour.
There is subtle STI badging on the boot, front splitter and the leather and suede upholstered sport's seats.
A dual muffler, quad tail pipe sport's exhaust system also sets the Legacy STI apart from the standard Legacy GT. The bottom arms in the front and rear suspension are made from alloy to reduce unsprung weight, while a tower brace for the front suspension struts is standard.
The suspension has specially rated STI springs, with Bilstein dampers, while a Brembo braking system is used with four pot front calipers.
Available either with a five speed manual gearbox, or five speed automatic transmission with Sportshift controls on the steering wheel, the Legacy STI is rated at 206 kWs at 6400 rpm with the manual and 191 kWs at 6000 rpm for the automatic.
Crucially both power trains have a peak torque of 343 Nm at just 2400 rpm for strong mid-range driveability and instant response from the electronic throttle control.
The active safety package includes ABS brakes with EBD, Subaru's legendary symmetrical All Wheel Drive for impeccable handling, road holding and grip in all driving conditions.
Dual front air bags, front seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, side anti-intrusion beams and ring shaped reinforcement frames in the body structure make up the passive safety package.
There is a premium sound system with six stack CD player, climate control air conditioning, and eight way power adjustable driver's seat, leather Momo steering wheel, gear shift knob and hand brake lever. There are alloy pedals and foot rest, electro luminescent gauges and silver trim on the centre console.
Standard equipment also includes power steering, mirrors and windows and front fog lights.
Other features include an alarm system which is combined with the remote central locking and engine immobiliser, DataDot security marking of all major components and a three year unlimited kilometre warranty.
The Legacy STI is priced at $64,990 irrespective of transmission option.
New Zealand is the only country outside Japan to get the Legacy STI, of which only 600 have been produced. The five New Zealand cars have all been pre-sold.
