Talking Cars 347: Driving the 2022 Subaru WRX
Plus, the cost, maintenance, and pressure differences for tires that come on EVs compared with gas-engine cars
Main theme: We discuss our first driving impressions of the 2022 Subaru WRX. Although the car is all-new, the WRX sticks close to the formula it established at its U.S. introduction for the 2002 model year: a strong turbo four-cylinder engine combined with a manual transmission, all-wheel drive, taut suspension, and serious sport seats wrapped up with rally-inspired, four-door bodywork. We delve into just how far the new WRX moves the needle for performance-minded driving enthusiasts.
Audience Question
How do you think people will adapt to electric cars being mainly rear-wheel drive vs. the front-wheel-drive layout most U.S. drivers are accustomed to? Also, can you talk about the cost, maintenance, and pressure differences for tires that come on EVs compared with gas-engine cars?
