What Changed
Subaru has upped the performance of the WRX model for 2009. The turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder is now rated at 265-bhp and 244 lb-ft of torque. The optional 4-speed automatic is gone - all WRX models have a 5-speed manual as standard equipment. A retuned suspension and larger 225/45R17 summer performance tires help put the extra power on the road. All WRX models now wear the aero package from last year's STI model which features a front lip spoiler, side ground effects, front and rear bumper under spoilers and a rear spoiler.
