Since 1995, Subaru's "tantalize" as we say frustrating and annoying playing a game. Passed here's the game: every two years, Subaru, WRX, known as Impreza of turbocharged Hot Rod he was going to put a version.
We ride him, sometimes crawling all over the car and we got to try, "when can we get it?" Subaru's answer was short and simple: "you can't stop shaking." WRX, depending on the model year and in Europe and Japan of $ 30,000, $ 40,000, sold for, however, Subaru, cars to conform to U.S. standards would make the car expensive for us, confirming the additional cost of said. The end of the story.
Based on the second generation or the new WRX by the end of last year we thought we'd put a new Impreza. The most recent version of this - praise the Lord! - About the time you read this you will be at the US border.
Why the sudden change of heart? Subaru, Impreza 2.5 RS, and the positive press we receive from writers like us (although without all the WRX styling cues Impreza has a turbo engine) thanks to the success of the company have noticed that the cost to guarantee enough interest in the car. Approving.
If we're WRX also, this new car, the last WRX we tested (C / D, March 1999) Double Shot the monster it's not. This car, called the 22B STi 41.600 $ 'link model to 60 mph - 4.7 seconds until it exploded violently - 280 actual output horsepower of the Subaru, we concluded the approximately 20 BG ever filmed.
According to Subaru, the new car is smaller, lower horsepower engine and longer gear they must reach a speed of 60 mph in 1.4 seconds thanks to the team. 22B because the latter is a welcome change on the highway, it's as comfortable as Sam kinison.
However, the United States WRX connected to less power - which has 227 horsepower at 6000 rpm - but the new WRX engine meets U.S. LEV standard, he pulled it off of the old engine featin the match I can't imagine. Subaru also implies that higher performance versions in the future will gradually with more power.
Now that we have to take what we can do, and that's pretty good. DOHC 2.0-liter flat-four, three catalytic converter that cleans the exhaust, thanks to the standard Lev reaches. One of the cats, the exhaust is placed between the collector and the turbo, and this helps reduce the time for warming to take effect, a cold cat. Also, the top of the butterfly disk one-third of a series of butterfly valve removed intake manifold. Thus, the valve is closed when the suction channel is open to only the top one-third; this will cause air to be entering into the combustion chamber to burn at low rpm and increases.
Provided by a single Mitsubishi turbo, 14.2 psi intake manifold pressure by adding the almost doubling of the atmosphere. This is a very important development, and it takes some time to build. The string is weak below 3000 rpm of the engine, and the turbo lag is noticeable. We won't bother you lag, but a turbocharged Volvo or Saab from two in today's market is more pronounced.
WRX, turbo, extra front drive layout which uses a minimum level which is able to manage to run Volvo's and saabs contrast, only a seamless full-time four-wheel drive system comes with. On manual transmission models, the torque 50/50 between the two axle portion % on a viscous centre differential and a limited-slip unit, you may not redistribute the slip torque of an axle. In cars with automatic transmission, The torque portion 45/55%, and an electronically controlled clutch package, with a planetary center differential to redistribute engine torque is enabled.
We haven't had the chance to choose an automatic car, but we lead the five-speed model, Honda went crazy with gear like clarity. About 3300 rpm when the turbo reaches its boiling point rapidly, the drive layout, the climb moved forward without power - and-plenty. Calibrated our tassels, Subaru offered by the R and the BMW all-wheel-drive sedan, which will make Lara Sprint in 6.1 seconds faster compared to 0,6 WRX quickly agreed.
WRX the chassis is tight, responsive, and woke up feeling robust. Subaru, many of the Structural Improvements, now that looks like a wet noodle last Impreza slightly according to the hardness of the body of Burma in% 148% improvement provided.
WRX we didn't get enough seat time to make a decision on the transport of solid, but our first impression was one of amazing balance. Powder coated asphalt otoklo traditional a lot from the plow face we all felt. On the contrary, an amount we can easily rotate the car oversteering. In fact, our first impression is kept if the request WRX of rotation, the rear end of the road with him a few Active of the saints was put into the car.
The brakes are similarly warm, fuzzy feeling left. Front Twin-piston 11.4-inch Vented rotors with sliding doors, the rear part 10.3-inch-diameter solid rotors and Single piston calipers uses. Antilock brakes are standard, and a little fading.
The WRX in the guise of two body styles: four-door sedan and five-door wagon. Both bodies have the same mechanical properties, but more aggressive looking sedan comes with a blister fenders.
Early promotion pricing Subaru won't, but wonderfully comfortable and supportive front seats with standard Side airbags, and power with elements we are used to the usual Impreza CD changer ciziks is the basis for WRX we think, will cost around 26,000$.
If we're right, the WRX is a 2.5 RS for $ 6,000 more than it will be, but slower than the BMW 325ix Audi A4 1.8 T quattro and will be cheaper.
