The Sporty Subaru WRX Stands Out at Cross Creek Subaru

If you're in need of a new sedan and want something that'll be exciting to drive around Fayetteville, consider getting a new Subaru WRX. This sports sedan is designed with rally driving in mind, and it offers a unique experience.

Performance

A factor that helps the WRX stand apart from some other sedans is that it comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This type of drivetrain not only enhances traction when the roads around Sanford are slippery but also when you're cornering or accelerating.

All of the new WRX cars at Cross Creek Subaru are powered by the same type of engine. It's a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that has been enhanced with a turbocharger. This turbo engine gives it an amazing 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This really goes to show how athletic this car is and how much fun you'll have when you're behind the wheel.

The standard transmission is a manual one with six speeds. The GT trim, which is the top one in the lineup, comes with a Subaru Performance Transmission that has paddle shifters and an eight-speed manual mode, so you can still have control over shifting if you'd like to decide exactly when to make that transition.

The GT also has Drive Mode Select. This program offers four different modes that come with their own settings for adjusting how the engine, steering, suspension and other components behave. You can personalize the driving experience depending on your mood or the terrain.

Some other components that can positively affect performance and handling are the WRX's active torque vectoring, traction control and sport-tuned four-wheel independent suspension. That suspension system is available with electronically controlled dampers that allow for even more precise adjustments.

Design

The body of the WRX is a great match for its performance. The standard front and rear under spoilers, the integrated diffuser in the rear bumper and the available trunk spoiler all add to the aesthetic while working to reduce drag. At the back of the car, the quad stainless-steel exhaust outlets will catch your eye. LED headlights are standard and a power moonroof and LED fog lights are available.

The size of the cabin makes it a practical car to drive around Fort Bragg. It's great that this Subaru can hold five passengers. Certain trims are equipped with power-adjustable driver's seats and heated front seats and the seating upholstery can either be cloth or Ultrasuede®.

You'll love that the steering wheel has a flat bottom, similar to what you'd see in some high-performance cars. It's wrapped in leather and is accented with bright red stitching, and the sport gauges and available aluminum-alloy pedal covers help enhance the interior style, too. Even the design of the front seats has been carefully planned out. The WRX has performance-design front seats, which the GT upgrades to Recaro® performance-design seats.

Technology

There are multimedia controls on the steering wheel and USB ports are available for both rows. You can pick up keyless access, push-button start and PIN-code access. To make adjustments to the temperature, you can take advantage of the dual-zone automatic climate control system, which is available on most trim levels.

The entry-level WRX has dual 7.0-inch touchscreen displays while the higher trims have a larger, 11.6-inch touchscreen display. Integrated navigation is included on the Limited and GT models. Every new WRX come with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM® and HD Radio™. If you love listening to music, consider upgrading to a Harman Kardon 11-speaker sound system.
