2015 Subaru WRX (Video Review)


It now has EL headers so no more boxer rumble.

The reviews so far a very good for the WRX in performance and handling. The STi should be amazing. Mitsubishi's terrible management is probably sitting around watching the buzz on the WRX and wondering how they can make another ugly electric car no one wants.

Anything is better than the 2010-2014 body styles.

The headlights look like anti-raccoon eyes to me. (Big white ring as opposed to a dark one.)
8 speeds? So I'd have to flip that paddle 6 times coming into a tight corner, & then another 6 just to accelerate?
Oh, and I counted 4 things wrong... the presenter really annoyed me.

The visual and the sound really dont impress me much at all. Visuals are like a good 50% of why people buy a car.

That reviewer was just awful front to back, and it was painful to watch him nutswinging off that CVT. His reactions were embarrassing. Its like he drove used Corollas all his life, and this is his first drive in a car with more than 150HP.

I like the equal length header killing the Harley sound and increasing performance, but could never buy another WRX. Single turbo boxer engines just have too many compromises if you want to modify.

I still think it looks like a Corolla. Bring back the old square look.

VCT? Equal length headers?

So it's basically a Tribeca Coupe.

I would buy this in hatch version. As of right now Subaru is saying a hatchback is not financially viable.

lmao...

"That was 0-60 in 6 seconds flat...Kinda cool"

"It is a brilliant six-speed box that is a cha-chunka-chunka-chunka"

Don't get me wrong, I'm laughing at this goober not Subaru as a whole. Actually, I find Subaru's addressment of the body roll to be quite exhilerating. Not only that we can now finally hear what a Subaru is supposed to sound like. They are making their way up in the world in terms of body styling but they still need some motivational speakers to help them out. I think the additon of an AWD monitoring display is the coolest thing they've thought of yet.
