The high-performance 2016 Subaru WRX and WRX STI are available only as five-seat sedans. But overall, the 2016 Subaru WRX remains hard to beat if performance and fun top your list of desires for an affordable performance car. The Mini Cooper JCW hatchback remains one of our favorites in the sport-performance class as well. All four deliver stellar performance along with high-quality interiors. Ford offers its front-drive, 252-horsepower Focus ST and all-new all-wheel-drive Focus RS, while VW builds the Golf GTI and all-wheel-drive Golf R.
Instead, look to hot hatchbacks from Ford and Volkswagen. The closest competition for the WRX has traditionally come from the Mitsubishi Lancer, but the Ralliart and Evolution are discontinued for 2016.
The 2016 Subaru WRX carries on from last year's redesign with just a few changes.īut will you really care? That depends on your priorities. Many will find the STI's track-tuned suspension still a bit too stiff for comfortable daily driving as well. Unhappily, though, the WRX interior appointments and design remain pretty middle-of-the-pack, and the cabin isn't as insulated against high-speed wind and road noise as much as we'd like.
2016 SUBARU WRX STI GRACENOTE DATABASE UPDATE UPGRADE
The upgrade STI version simply ups the ante. The WRX is a lot of fun when the road gets twisty, too, thanks to its precise steering, nimble handling and standard all-wheel drive. The base engine is one of the strongest in its class, with sub 6- second 0-60 acceleration even in the base model with the optional continuously variable automatic transmission. After its complete redesign for 2015, the 2016 Subaru WRX offers the same heaps of power and performance as before, for a relatively affordable price.
