September 22nd, 2010 10:33 AM #31I drive my STI everyday and haven't driven a car this much fun! Although I've never lived with a Cooper S, I'm sure it's loads of fun too. But build quality, you can never go wrong with a Subaru... you just know that it's gonna take you where you need/want to go with no complaints. :D

September 22nd, 2010 01:36 PM #32Same here. I am planning to sell my Jazz too and get 1 STI. I really love driving Jazz. Its still fast enough to overtake other cars along EDSA. The leg room at back seat is surprisingly much bigger than new PAJERO and Landcusier especially the floor space for your foot!! Its so easy to park…………. The only problem is if MMDA caught you (sometimes even you didn’t do anything wrong), it is hard to get away with this tiny car (you can not bluff them).
I have test drive MINI Copper S. Honestly I will not buy that car.
1st : You just cant ask a driver to drive it for you while sitting at back seat. Its so hard to bend over & get in there.
2nd: when you just press a little gas, the turbo turns on, the acceleration is quiet good. You can feel you body leans backward. then when you just release the gas a bit due to traffic, the turbo turns off, the car slow down abruptly and you feel your body lean forward. Basically you will feel your body repeatedly leans forward and backward during the whole traffic driving. Its NOT smooth at all. I didn’t experience that much while I was driving Legacy using “I” mode.
3rd: when I close the door, I feel it sounds loud and heavy. I also find some metal parts finishing under the hood are not as fine as those Japanese cars;
4th: the price is expensive and not match their performance.
I think MINI cooper is a good fashion item, but not a good car ( My apology if I offend some people here).
I drive Hyundai GC 3.8 for a few months. I am happy with the performance of her German engine. It’s kind of stiff on our bumpy road. The problem is the backseat headroom. My wife is complaining her head is hitting/touching the roof sometimes!
Anyone knows how come Philippines 2011 STI model is 300ps instead of 305ps? how about Bluetooth, USB, etc.? It’s looks like everything is inferior compare to US version but with price 66% higher. Heard that MI will still increase price next month…. Please let me know if any one can import this model direct from US (as other gray market car).

April 10th, 2011 09:43 AM #37^ I think what he meant is his hyundai having a german engineered engine w/c hyundai is claiming on all their engines.
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
