As an all-around performance value, it's hard to beat the AWD Impreza WRX. The WRX is powered by a 265-bhp turbo flat-4 coupled to a 5-speed manual. The sophisticated AWD powertrain allows the WRX to provide all weather performance and handling.

What Changed:

The new STI Special Edition model is aimed at the dedicated enthusiast willing to trade amenities for improved handling. The Special Edition improves the suspension by adding stiffer springs (+16% front, +29% rear), stiffer rear bushings and a thicker rear stabilizer bar. Weight is reduced by downgrading to halogen lights, a more basic audio system and manual climate control. The first 125 units are painted in an exclusive white color.
