The 2009 Subaru Impreza
WRX and WRX STI
Because you love the rush.
Point A to point B doesn't even begin to describe it. You see an open stretch of tarmac as a blank canvas, and driving as a form of self-expression. You are not alone. G-force junkies can be found all over the world. And for years, untold numbers have been united by their passion for two incomparable high performance cars: the WRX®, now bolder and badder and its untamed sibling, the WRX STI®. Step behind the wheel and on the throttle of either, and you'll know exactly what has inspired so many. For generations, the Impreza WRX and WRX STI have outpaced the compromises of a conventional approach. Their famed Subaru BOXER® engine is intensified with enhancements that make every firing of its spark plugs an explosion of emotion. Every breath is rush-delivered via intercooled turbocharging. The resulting torque and horsepower race to all four wheels with maximum efficiency for throttle response that reminds you every time why you love to drive.
Turbocharger
If it's a WRX or an STI, its not-so-secret weapon is a turbocharger that helps to generate 265 force-fed horsepower for the WRX, and a whopping 305 horsepower for the STI. As always, the signature hood scoop is the real deal, supplying airflow to a lightweight intercooler that boosts output and response by enhancing the turbocharger's ability to deliver a potent fuel and air mixture.
Active Valve Control System
While turbocharging boosts power by pumping more air into each cylinder, the Subaru Active Valve Control System (AVCS) on the WRX and Dual Active Valve Control System (DAVCS) on the STI make sure to deliver the air at precisely the right moment. Valve timing is adjusted to match engine rpm, for better response at any speed.
Subaru Boxer Engine
With pistons laid flat, the Subaru BOXER engine offers drivers unique advantages. The pistons movement helps reduce vibration for revs that come on buttery smooth. And the layout boasts a flatter profile and helps create a lower center of gravity for the entire car increasing balance and stability for cornering characteristics that are one-of-a-kind.
Horsepower
GENTLEMEN, START YOUR DYNAMOMETERS It's not just what you've got; it's how you use it. With an enhanced horsepower rating of 265, the 2009 WRX gives you a lot to work with. But follow the torque chart and you'll see the ability of the WRX to turn power into acceleration. Torque peaks at 244 lb-ft?more than any previous WRX and continues over a wide power band. It's a punch that takes WRX from 0-60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. But you won't need a dyno, or even a stopwatch to appreciate it
Road Adhesion
The greater the grip your tires have on the road, the more predictable your car becomes. With all four wheels receiving power all the time, chances are much more likely that none will be overpowered or spin freely, and your vehicle will stay on its intended trajectory. Think of it as prevention rather than reaction.
Instantaneous Response
Only four small patches of rubber keep you in control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged, the more control you have. Unlike FWD or RWD vehicles, the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system keeps power routed to all four tires. So they?re all ready to respond when you use the throttle, especially in tight curves or unexpected maneuvers.
Exceptional Control
The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, with its fore, aft and lateral balance, results in excellent handling overall. Unlike a rear-wheel drive car which may oversteer, or a front-wheel drive car that is more prone to understeer, the full-time symmetrical AWD of the WRX and WRX STI transfers power to all four wheels for more stable, neutral cornering. The result? Greater safety and intensifi ed performance.
Brake Assist
This feature helps provide safer braking in a panic stop. By sensing the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed, maximum brake pressure is immediately applied, even if your right foot doesn't supply enough force.
Front, Side and Side-Curtain Airbags
An array of sensors can deploy any one or more of the six airbags the instant an accident is detected. The WRX and the STI feature side-curtain airbags to better provide all-over protection for the driver, front passenger and outboard rear passengers.
Navigation System
Find that epic mountain drive or that restaurant downtown. With the available navigation system, it takes just a few taps on the ultra-sharp, 7-inch screen and you're there. When you've finished your drive and parked, flip the screen up, slip in a DVD, and enjoy a movie.
Satellite Radio
Rock to hip hop. Stand-up comedy to sports commentary. Enjoy a vast array of digital-quality programming with available XM® or SIRIUS® Satellite Radio.
Auxiliary Audio and Video
Every WRX or STI comes standard with an audio jack for connecting a portable music player. And now the accessory iPod® Interface Kit, which allows you to charge your iPod® and control it through the head unit, is available at every trim level. Team this kit with the navigation system, and get enhanced interactivity. What?s more, the navigation system gives you audio/video jacks that let you plug in nearly any music, video, or gaming device. Park the car, and the video portion plays on the in-dash screen.
