What engine is in a Subaru WRX?
Does the Subaru WRX actually have a powerful engine? I love Subarus, but I think of them more in terms of reliability than in terms of power and speed.

The engine in a
Subaru WRX
is a turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four-cylinder Subaru Boxer on the base model. This gives the WRX a top speed of 155 mph, which is fairly average.If you’re looking for a car with impressive speed specs, you’d be better off with the WRX STI. This Subaru model has a top speed of 174 mph, making it significantly faster than the base WRX model.
Although the Subaru brand is known as dependable, both of these WRX models scored about average for reliability compared to other vehicles of a similar make. The WRX has more issues than most Subarus, so be prepared if you invest in one.
Whether you buy a WRX or go with a different vehicle, you’ll need a good car insurance policy to protect your new ride. Check out the
