LAST SHOT AT LOVE?

2022 SUBARU WRX LIMITED

- K.C. COLWELL

There is a refreshing honesty to the new WRX. It continues to be a clear descendant of the bug-eyed example enthusiasts fell in love with 20 years ago. Subaru has remained true to the original formula, giving the new one a turbocharged flat-four, all-wheel drive, a standard manual transmission, and bear-hugging front seats. The engine still warbles when the weather is cold, and the suspension, though slightly softer than before, occasionally punishes. It's a hot-rod economy car. It doesn't even have adjustable drive modes. Don't like the way Subaru set it up? Modify it yours
