Dial it in. Dial it up.
Take control,
and take it to the limit.
From the moment you first fire one up, both the
WRX and WRX STI all but beg you to let them
loose on whatever curvy stretch of asphalt you can
find. The rigid, strong chassis gives you the kind of
controllability you need to get the most of every
bit of ferocious grip coming from the exceptionally
balanced Symmetrical AWD drivetrain. The
suspension makes it all possible, with stiff anti-roll
bars, performance-tuned shock dampening and
spring-rates, and available inverted front struts. It’s
an enviable suspension set-up—4-wheel independent
suspension with aluminum front lower control arms,
and double wishbone rear suspension. Altogether,
this results in minimal body roll, which translates to
more confidence, better control, and increased grip
under hard cornering. The WRX STI also features the
Multi-mode Driver Controlled Centre Differential
(DCCD), which allows you to tailor the torque split
between the front and rear wheels.
