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.
