Why it stands out

The 2017 Subaru WRX stands out because it combines rally-bred performance with everyday practicality. By 2017, the WRX had already established itself as a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sport compact, and that formula is what gives it its appeal: it is fun to drive, handles well, and delivers the kind of traction that makes it especially confident in poor conditions. It also benefits from the fourth-generation redesign’s stiffer chassis and more interior space, which helped make the car feel more refined and usable than earlier versions.

For 2017, the WRX carried a 2.0-litre turbocharged Subaru Boxer engine with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or an available CVT. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive remained standard, and the car also featured AWD torque vectoring to improve handling. In Canada, the 2017 model was offered in base, WRX Sport, and WRX Sport-tech trims, with equipment such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a touchscreen that could integrate with a smartphone, and available driver-assistance technology depending on trim. That mix of performance hardware and useful technology makes the WRX appealing to buyers who want a compact car that feels special without giving up all of its daily usability.

There are trade-offs, though. The WRX’s fuel economy is not a strong point, and the model is also known for an outdated-feeling technology experience in some versions. Owners and shoppers may also find the back seat cramped, and some drivers wish for more convenience features. Even so, the 2017 Subaru WRX remains distinctive because it delivers a rare combination of standard all-wheel drive, sharp handling, and genuine enthusiast character in a practical package.
