| Contrà´le technique |
The 2008 Subaru WRX and 2008 Subaru WRX STI are sporty performance variants of the Impreza small-car family, with all-wheel drive, sharp handling, secure roadholding, and powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines.
Two different body styles--a four-door sedan or five-door hatchback--of the WRX are offered, but the high-performance STI is only available as a hatchback. Both bodies of the 2008 Subaru WRX STI have similar seating space, with decent headroom all around and plenty of space in front for tall folks, but the backseat space can be tight. The sedan’s trunk is quite roomy for its size; the hatchback is about six inches shorter and feels spacious, but its sloping rear window can interfere with the cargo area’s usability. The seats, however, fold forward neatly in either version.
