Australian rally driving legend Cody Crocker put the all-new "Rex" to the test for the very first time and Australians have a lot to be excited about.
In Cody's first drive, the Australian rally star, said: "In the new WRX, you really feel like you are connected to the car and connected to the road. It offers a great and comfortable seating position, good steering feel, good response, good power and great transmission!"
Cody was also impressed with the driving dynamic of the WRX Sportwagon's Subaru Performance Transmission which features a tuned 8-speed paddle shift Sport Lineartronic®, Variable Torque Distribution and Sports Shifting Control for faster shifting and downshift blipping control.
"The shifts are really fantastic, they're definitely improved in speed. What's not to like about this! It's truly fantastic, it's the WRX through and through."
