Subaru WRX
The WRX is a fun-to-drive yet practical sports sedan that can be used and enjoyed all year long regardless of weather conditions. It’s also one of the few vehicles left to offer a manual gearbox as standard. As such, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. A CVT is optional. The turbocharged 2.4-litre engine produces 271 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. For 2025, the RS model is replaced by the new tS, which mostly stands out with electronically controlled dampers.
