While Subaru completely remodeled the Impreza sedan and hatchback models for 2012, the WRX STi retains the old body style and underpinnings from the previous platform. There’s no word yet on when a totally new WRX STi will hit U.S. shores, but this delay doesn’t diminish the 2012 WRX STi’s standing as one of the best “bang for the buck” performance cars on the market.

Subaru didn’t completely forget the WRX STi this year, which is available in both 4- and 5-door models. The sedan gets new 18-inch alloy wheels, and both the sedan and hatchback get an upgrade to a touch-screen navigation system.

The WRX STi generates rally-inspired performance with a 305-horsepower, turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Boxer engine with SI drive, a feature that allows the driver to tune the throttle response as desired. The six-speed manual transmission links up with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system, which can also be tailored to specific needs and allows the driver to adjust the power split between the front and rear axles. EPA estimated fuel economy is 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

The WRX STi sports an aggressive stance and robust design that are clearly distinctive from other Impreza models. The bodywork is wider around the tires, there’s a rear spoiler, and aerodynamic ground effects grace the rocker moldings. The hood scoop is real and provides air to the engine intercooler.

Spirited handling is achieved through the 4-wheel independent suspension, increased spring rates, and thicker sway bars. Other performance upgrades include front and rear limited-slip differentials and huge Brembo brakes at all four corners. Subaru also allows the driver to adjust the level of stability and traction-control intervention in the electronic stability control system. Eighteen-inch BBS wheels are standard on the hatchback and available on the 4-door Limited.

The performance theme continues in the interior with alloy pedal covers, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and electroluminescent gauges. The Alcantara-covered seats are designed with side bolsters and integral head restraints. Leather upholstery and a power moonroof are available in the 4-door Limited package. The base audio system includes AM/FM/CD, Bluetooth®, iPod control, USB port, satellite radio, and auxiliary audio input jack. The optional navigation system adds a 6.1-inch screen and voice-activated controls.

Standard safety equipment includes antilock brakes, side curtain airbags and seat-mounted side-impact airbags.

The 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX STi remains one of the best performance values on the road today, and for those who are looking for have some fun with their cars it doesn’t get any better than this.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
