Subaru’s rally rocket parties like it’s 2004.

The Subaru WRX STI powerslid into the United States for the 2004 model year, sporting a turbocharged engine and a massive rear wing, and ready to take on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The STI and Evo defined a new type of performance car, offering more power than typical sport compacts of the era, along with rally-inspired tech and all-wheel drive.

A lot has changed since the STI first came to the U.S. The World Rally Championship battle between Subaru and Mitsubishi that birthed the STI and Evo ended years ago, and the Evo is gone. That doesn’t mean the STI is without competition, though; the Honda Civic Type R, Hyundai Veloster N, and Volkswagen Golf R offer similar performance.

The STI hasn’t changed much, however. It’s still a higher-performance version of the Subaru WRX, still has the big rear wing, and uses an updated version of the turbo engine from that original 2004 model. That means the STI can no longer claim to be a technology leader but, as a recent test drive showed, it remains a compelling performance car.
