LEAVE NO ROAD
UNDISTURBED.
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 inverted
front struts paired with 18-inch alloy wheels on the WRX
or lightweight 18- and 19-inch wheels on the WRX STI.
It’s an enviable suspension setup—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 a revised Multi-mode Driver
Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD), which allows you to
tailor the torque split between the front and rear wheels.
