New subaru 2.5 wrx refinement – better than the old one?
Hi – considering purchasing a new Subaru wrx 2.5, I used to have the old model and although it was great fun with terrific handling and power I do longish motorway runs about once a month ( 1000 miles round trip) and the old 2.0 scooby was unbearable on those trips, noisy and unrefined, so much so I got rid of it in the end for a more refined car but much less fun. Have put up a photo of my old scooby on car blog at http://www.cars-stuff.co.uk/new-subaru-25-wrx-2007-version-how-good-is-it/
Any answers from new subaru owners about new cars refinement?
Compared to my 2.0 liter wrx, my friends new 2.5 liter wrx is noticably more refined. The newer wrx’s have more sound/vibration insulation and seem to ride smoother. The 2.5 in the new wrx’s can actually pass traffic in 5th gear now due to the low end torque. Despite its improvements, the wrx is still a bit rough around the edges (the way it was meant to be) and is probably not the best choice for a 1000 mile trip every month. Look into the legacy gt it is fast and way more refined than a wrx could ever be.
