Subaru says WRX stands for World Rally eXperimental. Since 2015 the WRX has been a standalone model, split from the Impreza. For 2018 it received mid-generation improvements, with a six-speed manual standard. Ours is a 2018 WRX sedan with a manual gearbox and custom paint. It runs a fully built stage 3 short block and a stage 3 turbo.
