The March edition of Motor magazine, out now, includes a seven-page review of the Model Year 2003 Impreza WRX STi, which it has tagged on its cover as "The greatest Subaru ever."

Under the headline "Coming of Rage" Motor's David Morley says: "...the hottest 'Rex now has the muscle and attitude to stare down the snakiest cobra and feistiest 'lil octopus..."

The feature says "Torque builds far more progressively than the previous STi for vastly superior stop-start driveability."

Morley writes: "That it succeeds is immediately obvious and even if you were never really a fan of the WRX concept, you're bound to like this one."

He concludes: "..it'fs the best 'Rex I' ve ever hurled at the scenery, not to mention the most visually spectacular.."

"As I'm sure Steve Irwin would splutter: Crikey! It's an STi! Don't muck with it!"
