The best launch came by dropping the clutch at about 6,000 rpm. Braking ratingExcellent Braking commentsNo fade during our series of single-stop tests -- although I did experience inconsistent pedal feel during hard driving. Still, this is an impressive number. Handling ratingExcellent Handling commentsSkid pad: Still not as communicative as the outgoing Evo (Evo IX). The new STI nonetheless makes PLENTY of grip. Not as receptive to throttle inputs as I'd like. Slalom: Very, very stable through transition at neutral throttle and under acceleration -- perhaps to the detriment of (the above) skid pad number (ablility to rotate into a corner). Lots of grip and confidence.

This Suggested Retail Value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history, but has not been certified in accordance with any Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program the automaker may offer (for which it may or may not qualify, according to factors such as vehicle age and mileage). This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less depending on the vehicle's actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions. Book value retails this car at over $30,000!! $30,265 Looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning.Never had any paint or body work and is free of rust.Clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection.Engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects.Complete and verifiable service records.
