2008 Subaru Impreza WRX
2008 Subaru Impreza WRX The EPA gives the 2008 Subaru WRX 19mpg in the city and 24mpg on the highway. In heavy city traffic, we dropped below 19mpg, but our overall observed average was 20.8mpg. These numbers could probably be improved by a sixth gear, allowing better economy at freeway speeds. The WRX hasn't been rated for emissions yet. The base price for a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX with the satellite radio and navigation package is $28,450. A $645 destination charge brings that total up to $29,095. For less than 30 grand you're getting a sporty little car that works well as an everyday driver, except for its mediocre fuel economy. We are eager to see the STi version of this car, which might patch up some of the performance issues we found, such as body roll. Of course, we are also looking forward to seeing the next generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, which uses a double-clutch transmission, something that could put it way ahead of the WRX STi. For a little more money, Subaru competes with itself with the Legacy Spec.B , an all-wheel-drive car that offers Subaru's SI drive system. For about half the money, you could also get the all-wheel-drive Suzuki SX4 , although you should wait to see how well it does in World Rally Car competition.
