Aside from styling changes, the 2006 WRX features 17 inch tires and a new engine. The old 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder boxer engine has been replaced by a 2.5 litre turbo. The WRX comes in sedan and wagon versions. Automatic transmission isn’t available with the wagon.
Inside and trunk
Although the car rides low, getting in and out the front is easy; rear access is more awkward because the doors open so narrowly. The front seats are very comfortable and hold passengers in place well with their side-hugging lateral supports. Heavier passengers will feel a little cramped, however. The driver enjoys an excellent driving position.
The rear bench can seat two adults comfortably as long as they’re not too tall, since head room is limited. The seatback does not fold back but is equipped with a pass-through for skis. The trunk is quite roomy but is handicapped by a small opening. There is a risk of hitting your head on the hood latch and squashing anything you place under the hinges.
Convenience and safety
The cabin is very well finished, but the soundproofing against wind and road noise is not great. There is plenty of storage space despite the lack of map pockets on the front seatbacks.
