This 2002 Subaru WRX Retro Review Makes Us Feel Old

Anyway, this first US market WRX was the "错误的眼睛" WRX and it came powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer four with 227 hp and 217 lb-ft of torque. Buyers could choose either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. A four-speed slushbox? In a WRX? Who buys that? Motor Week correctly noted that the WRX's secret sauce is not in straight line performance (although it was a faster in the quarter-mile than the old Audi S4), but in the curves. Although the bug eye front end styling didn't last for long, the WRX itself lives on, and we couldn't imagine Subaru today without its AWD rally-inspired sedan. Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll go sit in a corner and try to figure out where time has gone. College was awesome.
