Sorry, it's still no STI
You can send all the petitions to Subaru to build a new STI, but it doesn’t seem likely that it’ll ever happen. These days, if you want a hot sedan from Gunma, your best and only bet is the current WRX.
But, hold up. Isn’t the tS already available? Well, yes, and it’s even sold in local showrooms. However, this new version takes the ‘tuned by STI’ theme a step further.So, what’s been added to the new tS? Well, the red WRX badge on the grille might throw people off into thinking that it is an STI. That said, the more important changes are under the skin. For starters, it comes with electronically control dampers to suit various driving conditions.
Untouched is its 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer engine. It still makes 271hp and 350Nm of torque. Thankfully, the only transmission choice for it is an honest to goodness six-speed manual.Could this version be sold in the Philippines? It’s possible, but the extent of the upgrades might not be as comprehensive as the North American version. Still, any change is welcome for this performance sedan.
