Splitting hairs to raise yours .
Down to its core , the WRX is engineered to perform . It ’ s built on the Subaru Global Platform , which provides high torsional and suspension mounting rigidity for tighter handling . Delivering blazingly fast upshifts and downshifts , the Subaru Performance Transmission uses shift logic to downshift before a turn , hold a gear through the turn and upshift at precisely the right moment — all automatically . Even the rally-inspired styling of the WRX is functional , with its air vents , cladding texture and underbody covers all helping to improve aerodynamics .
