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 The old 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder boxer engine has been replaced by a 2.5 litre turbo.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.
