Subaru WRX
All about fun, the WRX and STI are the black sheep of the Subaru family. Armed with a 268-horsepower, 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo (WRX) and 305-horsepower, 2.5-litre four (STI) with manual or CVT automatic (WRX) gearboxes, these sports cars are formidable rally racers. For 2017, they are still built on the old Impreza's platform. New features include fabric headliners, auto up/down passenger’s side window and, on certain versions, the Siri Eyes Free and Mirrorlink systems.
