Performance fans use their cars for everything and they love the extra functionality that the hatch offers. Why is it such a big deal for Subaru to offer a 5-door hatch in addition to the sedan? For Subaru buyers, it’s all about the versatility and utility that the hatchback offers. But dropping the hatchback from the WRX/STI lineup is alienating performance fans. In the past, Subaru has done an excellent job of listening to their current customers and improving their vehicles with what they hear from them. Subaru has always been about offering multipurpose vehicles to their loyal fan base, but by dropping the 5-door hatch from the 2015 WRX STI lineup, it could be a big mistake.
