The SVX was a quintessential grand tourer among Subaru’s quirky models like the XT and GL hatchbacks.

One of the weakest links in Subarus are their flat-four boxer engines. They’re hard to work on, not that reliable, and don’t have the performance potential to justify their low center of gravity to everyone. But rather than swap one for a played-out Honda K-series, one 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car driver is opting for a far more exotic swap: a Ferrari California’s flat-plane-crank V8. The Prancing Horse-powered STI is being built by… Read More →

The Subaru Impreza WRX (for World Rally eXperimental) is among the most iconic JDMs ever produced. Subaru produced the first-generation Impreza WRX models from 1993 to 2001, and now they are some of the most sought-after nineties JDM performance cars.

That’s because Subaru has eliminated both the sedan body style and the standard manual transmission, meaning its new starting price of $24,085 is $3270 higher than the cheapest version of last year’s Impreza. Even when comparing apples to apples, the 2024 Impreza hatchback with an automatic transmission costs $1470 more than the equivalent 2023 model.A… Read More →

As the WRX Limited’s odometer rolled on, my initial impressions from living with the car in the real-word echoed most of our previous analyses of this new fifth-gen WRX: It’s a solid runner that’s reasonably quick but which overall has been left behind a bit by practical competitors like the Hyundai Elantra N and Honda Civic Si. But here’s the thing: Away from the parameters of track testing and head-to-head MotorTrend comparisons against its marketplace… Read More →
