AND DON'T LET THE THIS THING CAN REALLY IT'S THE MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER LONG-TERM ROAD TEST UPDATE!

John: IT'S BEEN WILD, BUT THROUGHOUT ITS NEARLY THE RALLY-INSPIRED SUBARU WRX TO SUBARU HIGH-PERFORMANCE.

WELL, 2022 STARTS OF THIS ICONIC ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SO LET'S FIND OUT, IN THE MODERN SPORTY CAR * IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THE SUBARU HERE IN THE U.S. FOR 20 YEARS SALES NUMBERS AREN'T QUITE AS SUBARU HAS FOCUSED ON MONEY-MAKING CROSSOVERS THE AWESOME BRZ SPORT COUPE.

BUT, FOR 2022, THEY'RE LOOKING BACK TO ITS WINNING WAYS.

THE MOST POWERFUL STANDARD IS A GREAT PLACE TO START.

THE NEW 2.4 LITER FLAT-4 TURBO AND 258 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

THAT'S ONLY THREE ADDITIONAL AND THE SAME AMOUNT OF TORQUE BUT IT DELIVERS THAT TORQUE IN A 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AS IS ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE, IF YOU PREFER AN AUTOMATIC, THOUGH SUBARU CLAIMS THEY'VE AND IMPROVED THE SIMULATED AND FELT THAT, THAT WAS ENOUGH THE SUBARU PERFORMANCE THE SUSPENSION GETS A MINOR WITH FRONT STRUTS FEATURING NEW THE REAR STABILIZER BAR IS NOW INSTEAD OF THE SUBFRAME.

AN UPCOMING WRX GT MODEL WILL RIDE CONTROL DAMPERS.

NEW DUAL-PINION QUICK RATIO IT WAS VERY DIRECT, TOO LIGHT NOR TOO HEAVY.

AS IS USUAL WITH THE WRX, OF GRIP THROUGH OUR THE 245/40/18 MICHELINS VERY LITTLE BODY ROLL AND GREAT AND HARDER, AND ENJOYING MULTI-MODE VEHICLE DYNAMICS IN THE GT...PLUS, TO STEERING FEEL AND BRAKES ARE MOSTLY THE SAME HELPING THE CAR FEEL SUPER SOLID FROM 60 THAT AVERAGED JUST AS FOR PICKING UP SPEED, EXHILARATING OFF THE LINE; DOES MAKE IT EASY.

BUT, EVEN WITH THE COUPLE IT TOOK US HALF A SECOND LONGER 60 MILES PER HOUR, ON THE OTHER HAND, WITH SHORT THROWS, TIGHT FEEL, TORQUE DELIVERY STAYS WITH NO BIG HITS OR DROP-OFFS; WAS 14.6 SECONDS AT WHILE, STILL BASED ON THE SAME THE WRX SHARES VERY LITTLE AND NOTHING AT ALL WHEN IT COMES IT'S SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN BUT IN ORDER TO KEEP WEIGHT FRONT FENDERS ARE NOW MADE THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL CLADDING AND WHEEL ARCHES WITH AND OF COURSE, AND NEW LED HEADLIGHTS.

AND DESPITE NOT GOING OVERBOARD MUCH HAS BEEN DONE TO MANAGE UNDERBODY TREATMENTS, AIR EXTRACTORS IN AND A LOW-PROFILE REAR SPOILER.

IT LOOKS MORE GROWN UP, TO REMIND YOU WHAT IT'S THE WRX HAS ALWAYS BOASTED AN SIMPLE YET, PURPOSEFUL; A GIANT 11.6 INCH TABLET INTO THEY'VE DONE IT WITHOUT TOTALLY THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF AND A GREAT SET OF ANALOG GAUGES FLAT-BOTTOM STEERING WHEEL; PLUS, SOME NICE ULTRA-SUEDE GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 26-HIGHWAY, AND 22-COMBINED; 23.8 MILES PER GALLON THAT'S AN AVERAGE USING 13.5 BARRELS OF WITH 6.7 TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS.

PRICING REMAINS MORE THAN STARTING $30,065 WITH TOP GT MUCH THAT WE'VE LOVED ABOUT THE REMAINS IN THIS 2022 SUBARU WRX; IMPROVED HANDLING, IT STILL MAY NOT BE ENOUGH IN THE SHIFTING AUTOMOTIVE BUT WE'LL KEEP ON THOROUGHLY AS LONG AS SUBARU ALLOWS.

WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK , PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US AS WE LOAD UP INTO FORD'S ELECTRIC PICKUP: THEN, WE PUT THE VOLKSWAGEN THE CROSSOVER CHECKLIST.
