No, actually quite the opposite. With the AWD car, if you push too hard in the corners, you oversteer like crazy. I learned this first hand while competing. However, at more modest speeds, the car grips like no other. Plus, when it rains on race day… they dominate everything.

Coming from someone who has owned 3 STi’s and currently has a 335i… The 335i truly dominates the STi in all aspects EXCEPT winter/wet driving. The thing I have come to love is that you can drive the BMW like a grandpa or like you stole it, and it loves every bit of it. Not only this, it hits max toque WAY before the STi and holds it all the way through the power band. In a strait line, these cars are pretty close, but if you are into turning(auto-x, track racing, etc.) then the BMW is your bag. The only things the STi truly holds superior are the brakes. But then… the STi is the top model impreza. The 335i wasn’t meant to be a beasty performance car. I can understand the comparo due to the similar price ranges. Honestly though, I have been converted… I used to be a HUGE Subaru fanboy and still love them, but I am saving my pennies for the M3. The germans know how to make cars!

How does the subaru have 4 differentials? I don’t understand that. Front, rear, center?

So, how do you drive an AWD car differently around a RWD? Can you give it a more aggressive turn-in ?

They are comparing apples and oranges here… BMWs are in a totally different league.

STI is a benchmarked car. the 1 series is NOT a benchmark car unlike the BMW 3. The 1 is a subcompact hyped and marketed well to be a decendant of the E90.

i find this review so biased, the sti looks is all down to PREFERENCE, if you ask me, the e90 is one UGLY car, while the e92 is alot easier on my eyes
the interior isnt cheap at all on an sti, alcantra suede? this is the stuff you find in italian super cars, obviously not 90′s honda quality… and visors arent a required necessity in a performance car imho (as are the backlit switches)
