Subaru WRX tS Sedan – Last week I drove the Subaru WRX tS sedan with all the extra features missing from our manual RS version we drove a few weeks ago.

The tS sedan is priced from $56,990 plus the usual costs and you get a lot for that money.

Staring with the turbocharged 2.4-litre, horizontally-opposed four-cylinder Boxer engine that delivers power 202 kW @ 5,600rpm and Torque of 350 Nm from 2,000 – 5,200rpm..

Obviously it comes with Subaru’s famous AWD system and Sport Lineartronic transmission with Electronic control dampers and Drive Mode Select – Comfort, Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Individual settings.

2022 Subaru WRX AWD tS Sport Lineartronic wheels and tyres

18 inch alloy wheels and performance tyres enhance the sports appeal and Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive), EyeSight® safety features round out the list of tS features.

The sedan has a firmer feel that the Sportswagon, on purpose, it’s designed for the enthusiast. It has a feel where you are connected to the car and every input is directly responded to.

Find a nice winding hilly road and there are few cars that provide as much pleasure or fun than the WRX , especially at the price.

The WRX is one of those cars where you can’t judge it by figures alone, you have to drive it to get the feel, the connection to the vehicle, the pure fun of driving it.
