SUBARU WRX/STI

The trustworthy folks at Consumer Reports really understand what drivers want when they are behind the wheel. A simple three letter word...FUN!  That is just one of the reasons they picked the 2016 Subaru WRX as one of their Recommended Vehicles. 

Consumer Reports said, “With its blistering acceleration and tenacious cornering grip, the WRX is built for the enthusiast driver”.  You can get that feeling when you take the WRX out for a test drive at Huffines Subaru of Corinth. 

The bet is on that you will leave with a grin and return with the same.  You will quickly understand why the Subaru WRX or STI got the highest rating for owner satisfaction from CR.  That honor indicates that 80% or more of the WRX's owners would buy or lease another one.  Why is that?  Easy answer as you have Subaru's tried and true All Wheel drive system, powerful turbo-charged four cylinder engines for those who desire high performance at a lower price, sharp handling and sporty styling.  Just to name a few. 

When you arrive to see this Subaru up close and personal, the first hint of excitement comes from the WRX's wide and assertive stance and the huge air intake opening in its sloping hood.  When you slide into those standard sturdy sport seats, you will feel the aggressive leg and side bolstering to keep the driver in place and focused.  Inside the WRX's and STI's cabin is soft-touch materials, full color driver information display between the gauges. Leather wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel and a rear seat that really fits adults.  If you want to take your buddies to the golf course, no problem as the trunk has abundant space for their equipment.  A good guess you will be asked to drive every time. 

One of the reasons is what is under the WRX's hood.  There is an aggressive 268 hp 2.0-liter four banger turbo.  It can be hooked up with a six speed manual or if you prefer not to row your gears, the smooth automatic transmission is available.  Now, if you want some more zip in your trip, then test drive the WRX STI that comes with 305 thoroughbreds in its 2.5-liter turbo four cylinder.  This very popular STI only comes with manual, which is OK with its owners. 

This year, Subaru WRX has the option of getting Eye Sight which has a bunch of very important safety features.  Safety organizations highly recommend to invest in as many as you can afford, especially the Collision Warning system.  You always have precious cargo on board. 


So, there you go, the best of both worlds in a stylish family sedan and a sports car.   This WRX will be as fun to drive as it will be to be seen in.  Just go ahead and take the test drive from Huffines Subaru Corinth and be prepared for a fun time at this friendly and customer service oriented dealership. No walking through minefields here to get a very good deal.
