Does a 2015-2017 aurion give the subaru wrx the hurry up?
I remember back in the day when the wrx was first released it would show the old 1995 commodore dinosaurtec V8 a clean pair of heels.
The old commodore v8 with its 165kw 5.0 V8 just couldnt catch them and the police were scratching their heads at the wrx getaway cars.
But as the years went on, it seems the subaru wrx has not improved its performance since 1995 while everyone else became quicker.
Fast forward to 2018 and the toyota aurion has 200kw and 340nm torque, more muscle than the wrx.
The aurion is geared very well and does 0-100 in 6.2 seconds, on way to a flat 14 quarter, quick and it pulls hard from low rpm, has silky smooth v6 torque and costs less.
The auto wrx isnt in the hunt and the manual wrx needs a 5000rpm launch to scratch out a decent 0-100 time and even then cant stay with the aurion. It just doesnt have the top end power of the aurion.
Its sad to say but the subaru wrx, now seems to be easy fodder even to a family man toyota aurion.
