The 2009 Subaru WRX was reviewed by Alvarado Post, and it looks like they enjoyed the car a lot!
“Subaru has definitely raised performance and handling to a new level because this car is an absolute blast to drive.
Handling is outstanding — simply outstanding.
While I could literally gush over how crisp the re-tuned suspension and steering systems perform, I’m even more impressed with the increase in performance Subaru has managed to deliver in the 2.5-liter Boxer turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.
With a base price starting around $26,000, the Impreza WRX includes a long list of standard features, including: 60/40 split fold down rear seat back, audio system with CD player, automatic climate control system, cruise control, digital clock and outside temperature gauge, electroluminescent instrument gauges, incline start assist, leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls for cruise and audio systems, performance-designed front seats, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, tilt-and-telescoping steering column and intermittent wipers.”
Wow! Intermittent wipers!
