TheWild ™ Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Judging by its spec sheet, the latest iteration of the Subaru WRX should have 'Scooby enthusiasts' drooling by virtue of its enhanced styling, impressive technology and generous array of interior features. However, does the ES Premium with its (automatic) Lineartronic CVT do the nameplate justice or is its performance too compromised to warrant consideration? What is it? With sporty, rally-inspired looks, the WRX has visual appeal while still offering a practical cabin. The latest Subaru WRX sports sedan draws inspiration from its rally roots (just as its celebrated predecessors did), but has donned "a suit and tie" to appeal to a wider audience, while retaining just enough of its boy-racer looks that droves of fans adore. Visually, the updated WRX has a fair dose of "bad-ass" appeal; this latest iteration features an updated front-end that looks expressively menacing, especially with an STI-aping front splitter fitted. It also rides on stylish 18-inch wheels as standard, in this case dark, which contrasts nicely with the Crystal White Pearl body colour. At the rear, the carbon-fibre diffuser and the beefy quartet of exhaust ends give the WRX some added street cred. We really like the look of this WRX, let’s see how it performs overall in this test...
