2015 Subaru WRX review

1. Functional performance

This car is a great pick for anyone who wants to feel in control of their drive. It's powered by a turbocharged 2.0L, four-cylinder engine that delivers 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The WRX also features a functional hood scoop that helps channel cool air to the engine, which helps performance. It's strategically positioned to provide maximum airflow while reducing wind resistance. Plus, the flared fenders give the car a wider and more muscular stance, while the rear spoiler helps improve the car's aerodynamics.

2. Sports car-style sharp handling

Though the 2015 Subaru WRX is considered a compact car, it delivers a thrilling driving experience with quick acceleration and responsive handling. The WRX's all-wheel drive provides excellent traction and stability, making it a great choice for drivers who live in areas with inclement weather. The STI trim takes it up a notch with more powerful brakes, a 2.5L engine, and greater cornering ability. However, regardless of trim, you'll love how it takes on twists and turns.

3. Spacious yet practical interior

The 2015 Subaru WRX has a spacious cabin designed for up to five passengers. The front seats are well-bolstered, which is particularly useful during spirited driving. You'll also notice and appreciate the outward visibility when you are strapped into the cockpit with the WRX's large side mirrors and thin roof pillars. As for the back, the rear seats offer greater legroom and headroom for adult passengers. As an added bonus, take advantage of the 12 cu-ft of trunk space — a generous addition for a compact car — and the car's split-folding rear seats, which can be folded down to create additional cargo space when needed.

4. User-Friendly Technology

A range of user-friendly technology features add to the driving experience and make the 2015 WRX more enjoyable to use. The base model comes with a six-speaker stereo system that includes a CD player and steering-wheel-mounted controls, allowing you to easily operate the audio system without taking your hands off the wheel. The touchscreen system is standard on all models, providing seamless access to a variety of features, including audio controls, climate controls, and the car's rearview camera. For drivers who value crisp audio, the 2015 Subaru WRX offers an upgraded nine-speaker Harman Kardon^® audio system on certain models.

5. Sporty styling

The 2015 WRX features a sporty design that sets it apart from other compact cars. The front grille, hood scoop, and LED headlights give the car a distinct look, while the flared fenders and rear spoiler add to its athletic appearance. In other words, the design perfectly complements the car's performance capabilities, giving it a unique and distinctive look that is sure to turn heads.
