The 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI are like nothing else on the road today. The difference begins with the supreme balance that comes from symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive and the SUBARU BOXER engine. These two systems work together to create a harmony of power and control that extends to every single component of the vehicle. The result: true performance cars that generate excitement in every corner, exhilaration with every rev of the engine, and inspiration every time you take the wheel. To balance all this emotion, there is surprising practicality to be found in the 4- and 5-door body styles as well as features designed to please both driver and passengers alike.
