Time for another #MatchupMonday with Crews Subaru of Charleston!
There's few people who would argue against the iconic status of the 2017 Subaru WRX; inspired by rally performance, fully-loaded with features, and riding steady on a sport-tuned suspension with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, this AWD compact sedan makes for a seriously competitive offering in North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Hanahan, West Ashley, and Summerville.
But what about drivers with their eye on something a little different? Because the WRX and WRX STI are such a unique model group in the industry, it's hard to find direct competitors like we can do with the rest of the lineup. But we'll give it a go, with top rivals from Ford and Volkswagen.
