Model: Subaru WRX 5-Door
Starting Price: $33,395
Overview: Fans and owners the world over have discovered the Subaru WRX’s sensible brand of year-round performance for generations. By combining a proven BOXER turbo engine with a proven All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system and exceptionally responsive chassis dynamics, the Impreza is a potent driver’s car engineered for Canadians.
All units come with a 265-horsepower engine, manual transmission, and highly recognizable wide-body kit. Plus, the Subaru WRX offers plenty of interior space, plenty of cargo room, and a wide-reaching accessory range full of cargo and gear carriers for any lifestyle or outdoor sport.
Pros: Snowstorm? What snowstorm?! With turbo power and AWD, there’s no stopping the WRX driver from getting where they need to go, regardless of weather. Don’t miss the burble-y exhaust sound that comes as a trademark of the BOXER engine, either. Family-minded shoppers will love the WRX’s long list of awards from industry safety authorities, too.
Cons: The WRX is due for an update, and has one of the most dated interiors in the segment.
Noteworthy: As with all Subaru models, the WRX puts a celebrated Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system at the driver’s disposal for year-round performance and bad-weather confidence. A viscous coupling locking centre differential distributes torque 50/50 between the axles regardless of conditions. Translation? Permanent, fuss-free traction and agility on any surface, and the ability to accelerate through icy conditions where two-wheel drive cars spin their tires.
