2009 Subaru Impreza WRX265 Review

Seems like mounting pressure from the expanding Mitsubishi Lancer lineup has managed to squeeze a tweaked-up WRX out of Subaru's Impreza range. Perhaps Mitsubishi intended their 237 horsepower Lancer Ralliart to cut the WRX's grass by offering more power and gadgets. Subaru's ensuing defense play maintains power dominance in the 'PlayStation' car market, and gives shoppers a new sub-STI model called the "WRX 265" to consider. It doesn't offer a twin-clutch gearbox or Super All Wheel Control, but it does have nearly 30 more horsepower to compensate.
