2008-2012 Subaru WRX review
The sheer power of the Subaru WRX proves beyond doubt that its aggressive wide body styling with an STI exhaust system, 17-inch alloy wheels with gunmetal grey finish is backed by a pure performance pedigree. The Subaru WRX is designed to get your heart racing.
The 2.5-litre DOHC turbocharged Boxer engine with Electronic Throttle Control and Active Valve Control System delivers more torque early in the rev range, producing an enormous 195kW of power at 6,000rpm and 343Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, providing unparalleled sports performance and drivability. With Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, our Vehicle Dynamics Control system and a fully independent double wishbone rear suspension system, you'll enjoy sharper handling, better balance and instinctive responsiveness.
On the inside, the Subaru WRX carries through its performance pedigree with a centre sports tachometer, electroluminescent gauges, sports pedals and sports bucket seats with red stitching and an embroidered WRX logo. You'll also enjoy an impressive audio system featuring a single CD player which is MP3/WMA/iPod1 compatible, 10-speakers, Bluetooth® wireless technology2, an auxiliary jack3 and a USB port3.
And like all of our cars, the Subaru WRX has been awarded the maximum 5-star occupant safety rating by ANCAP – so you know you're in safe hands.
