Description
The WRX STI’s continued existence confirms that Subaru’s somewhat conservative image is at least partly a myth.
The rally-racer-inspired model is an integral member of the automaker’s performance lineup that includes the lower-echelon WRX and the BRZ sport coupe. All three mix it up in dealer showrooms alongside more mainstream Legacys, Outbacks and Imprezas.
