Subaru WRX
The latest generation of the WRX was introduced for 2022 and rubbed a few fans the wrong way with questionable body cladding and the elimination of the almighty WRX STI. The good news is that the turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder boxer engine delivers 271 horsepower and can still be paired with a six-speed manual transmission (a CVT is optional) and Subaru’s excellent all-wheel drive system. The WRX is awesome to drive in any season, though the ride is on the stiff side.
