![]() ![]() It's not linear, meaning 10% throttle does not mean you are using 10% of the engines power or load. Second problem you may or may not notice depending on what your past cars have been is the throttle mapping. Not a huge deal but it does play into the seat not being super comfy. While shifting the 6MT (mine has the short throw shifter as well) is satisfying and entertaining and rewarding there are 3 things that make it somewhat challenging.įirst is the clutch and it's travel which is sort of up and towards the dash rather than more of a natural forward push towards the firewall. I am getting better, that's me not the car. I stalled it 6 times getting it home, mostly at lights trying to get away too quickly. I have only driven other people's cars with it twice before buying this car. First and foremost, I am not a veteran of the stick shift. The only other grumble I have is kind of a broad complaint of how shifting works with the 6MT and this engine. The position and travel path of the clutch brings you in forward towards the dash but that squishes your legs if you are taller and the front of the seat cushion does not adjust up to meet and support your thighs. And even worse: no adjustment for your thighs/ knees. The big issue I have with the seat is no lumber adjustment at all. I would've like heated seats but a sacrifice I was willing to make to keep the price down. Manual adjustment is fine, you set it once for life basically unless you share the car with someone and it's a whole bunch lighter than motorized seats. The base has a basic manual adjustable, non-heated, fabric seat. My only serious issue with the interior is the driver's seat. However, … that adds a lot of weight and price to the car which I can live without. The only other options I would've liked would be the Performance Package which is only available from Premium Trim and up. The base model WRX doesn't feel like you cheaped out. EyeSight is watching the road ahead and behind with Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Reverse Automatic Braking, High Beam Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Pre-Collision Braking.TL DR: Seat adjustment is lacking on the Base and the manual trans makes itself just a little bit more difficult to use. The WRX Limited is available with Subaru EyeSight for even more protection. If in the event of an accident Subaru STARLINK safety and security will automatically notify emergency responders. Every Subaru vehicle is equipped with a standard rear view camera and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to keep you on the road no matter the road or weather conditions by supplying power to all four wheels. ![]() Not only is the 2018 Subaru WRX fast but it is also safe. While the Active Torque Vectoring works with the Vehicle Dynamics Control to applying braking power to the inside front wheel for sharper turn-in, more neutral steering, and higher cornering limits when turning. The Traction Control System utilizes an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system to sense a loss of tractions and will reduce engine torque and apply braking force to the slipping wheel to maintain control and motion. Standard on every WRX and STI model is Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Active Torque Vectoring, Traction Control System, and Vehicle Dynamics Control for enhanced control and performance. ![]() Powering the WRX is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder engine with 268 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft.
