The mad rush to electrification has claimed the lives of many old and beloved enthusiasts’ cars, and the one sporty car that a lot of gearheads still mourn to this day is the death of the STI. That said, while the new Subaru WRX that you can buy today is still pretty fantastic, offering tons of rally-inspired, all-wheel drive fun, combined with the everyday practicality of a four-door sedan, a lot of Subie fans have a carnal desire for something more. Bringing back the STI will handily settle some of the criticisms we had about the regular USDM WRX when we test drove it a little while back. Thankfully, you don’t have to wait for Subaru to make a proper STI revival happen, because you can instead buy a secondhand Subaru WRX TR.
