I remember how excited performance junkies were back in the early 2000s when Subaru announced that the hottest Impreza was finally coming stateside. Jump ahead nearly 15 years and the premise of the WRX remains the same - never very attractive nor overly concerned with cabin accoutrements; this all-new 2015 model is still about the drive. Now available only in a 4-door bodystyle, the WRX is a unique offering…an all-wheel drive, high-performance compact sedan whose closest competitor is the aged Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. It’s a niche segment with other similar entries opting for a hatchback design. But there’s a cult following of World Rally Championship wannabes attracted to the prospects of whipping the WRX through a rock-strewn mountain pass.
