We’ve got the brand-new Subaru WRX with us for the next few months and it’s the manual! Does it still provide thrills galore? Ciro De Siena gets acquainted with the newcomer.
Here at Cars.co.za we’re not exactly shy about our love for old Subarus. Three members of the team own older Subarus, including a blob-eye and a hawk-eye Prodrive.

Over the next few months, we’re setting out to answer the question, has the WRX got its groove back?
In this first test, we hired a dirt oval outside Cape Town to see if the car’s rally roots would shine through. Were we disappointed? Only one way to find out.
