It’s all-new this year, re-designed completely.
2015 Subaru WRX Sport Package CVT
2.0L Turbocharged
268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque
0 – 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds
Top speed of 240 km/h
Subaru uses a boxer engine, which makes that signature growl, which I think sounds good.
Although a manual transmission comes standard, my tester was an automatic, and a CVT at that.
I declared it to be the first CVT I’ve ever liked. Still would prefer manual.
Non-car nerds: you’ve likely seen a WRX, but with a massive spoiler on the back, and maybe rolled your eyes like I have.
We are wrong, the wing is cool, and functional too.
Boost!
And that hood vent, into it.
Available in 3 trims, this is the middle one; it has the “Sport Package”, which sees the addition of a rear spoiler, sunroof and fog lights.
Booking another of these soon as my schedule permits, in manual.
Prediction – within a couple years, Subaru will go from being the underdog, to the one to beat.
