At this point, it’s a given that the Subaru WRX kicks ass. When it was brought to our market from Japan in the early 2000s, it brought with it Subaru’s rally-racing heritage, sports compact car fun, and near endless levels of tunability. It felt like the automotive gods had just finally answered all the prayers of automotive enthusiasts alike.
While some contenders did try to take a stab at Subaru’s turbocharged, all-wheel drive sedan, almost none of them have survived up to this day.
Sure, the WRX has evolved over time, but it’s still essentially the same excellent recipe as it was two decades ago. And now, Subaru just added an all-new, track-ready version to the lineup called the RS. Or should I say, the TR? That all depends on which side of the US/Canada border you live. Don’t worry, though, because both of them rock.
