Question: Is the hatchback Impreza WRX STi as bad as Clarkson made it out to be and given the choice, would I be better off with a hawk eye Impreza?

It’s not bad it’s just not as good of a track car like other sti’s and evo’s

…no, it isn’t bad at all. It’s just ugly… “Uglier than war wounds”

And the comparison test with the “rally enthusiasts” is not accurate. It can be attributed to Clarkson being Clarkson… May was not far off of the truth when he called Clarkson a baboon. This is why he’s funny…

Clarkson has a show to run. He has to make it funny or it will be less popular.

Fact is, WRX & STi are both good. Evo is just a touch better… And much better looking.
