That's ignoring the fact that it's completely outclassed by the Evo (I'm talking of the STi. The Ralliart is the WRX competition...but IMO both of those suck, especially the Ralliart) plus it's ugly. The last pretty Subaru was maybe in '04-'05.

 

Yeah, the latest ralliart is a joke. It doesn't even outhandle the base model. Oh yeah, and have fun with Subaru's warranty police!

 

Mitsubishi's police is bad enough...Subaru's is basically an SS squad.

Latest Ralliart = pathetic. You can't launch it at all.

 

I vote the Speed3 all the way, it does have soot out the tailpipe, runs rich, really don't know how they got it past emmisions. But it is fuel, NOT oil. Does not burn any oil that I am aware. To cool off the turbo's bearings, just let it spin down, cool down for 30 seconds if normal diriving or up to 2 -3 minutes if you were really hot on the gas, before turning the key off.

I have a diesel turbo F350, pull a 11,000 lb fifth wheel camper, follow the same rules on it, over 40,000 miles of the 110,000 has been spent pulling the camper, never a turbo issue.

True, if you hot rod a turbo, and treat it like a non-turbo vehicle (on shut downs), it will bite you. On the truck, I have Boost, Oil Temp and EGT gauges, will not turn off the key till the EGT cools to 300 degrees.
