The Subaru WRX is a more grown up car than ever. The Club Spec aims to change that with a wild wing and some choice upgrades.

Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Chassis upgrades are a step forward
- Recaro seats hug you in the right places
- Yes, we love that rear wing
Misses
- Still not nearly noisy enough
- For a Club Spec, it's quite tame
- The performance game has moved on
