I will go to my grave chanting that a Subaru WRX is not a Subaru WRX unless it has unequal length headers. Inefficient? Yes. Who cares? Sounds awesome. But I realize this is very gate-keeping of me because the all-new 2022 Subaru WRX isn’t any worse off without the noise. Today’s version of the rowdy, rally-bred, all-wheel-drive sport compact is more civil, more efficient, and claddier than ever.
Longtime WRX fans may cry foul, but this new WRX is the WRX of today. We criticize today’s cars for being numb, dull, uninspiring. So while the latest version’s personality might be hidden behind swaths of agreeable, everyday livability, it’s there. You just have to dig for it a little bit.
