Subaru WRX / WRX STI
While a bit long in the tooth and pretty unruly at times, the Subaru WRX and WRX STI are still loads of fun to drive—some of the few remaining cars out there that are designed to push the driver’s limits and sharpen their reflexes. Born and bred in rallies, with almost no technical changes made over the past decade or so, the Subaru WRX is the rare sports car that can perform both winter and summer. Can you believe that a continuously variable transmission is optional? Thank God, the more powerful WRX STI comes with a manual only. Subaru is sending a clear message; hopefully, others will listen.
