Compare it head to head
How it drives
All-wheel drive gives the Tempest RX STi the best traction off the line and in the rain, and it forgives an early throttle. It is harder to hold in a long drift.
Acceleration is its best area, though only mid-pack at No. 43 of 89, so it makes up the most time pulling out of slow corners.

How to tune it
Handling is its weakest area (No. 54 of 89), so put the first upgrades into handling. A car that turns in and recovers predictably is quicker everywhere, and it can use power upgrades later without spinning.
