[Wacth] News  2018 Subaru WRX STI review. While Subaru’s basic Impreza models migrated to the brand’s new Subaru Global Platform for 2017, the 2018 WRX and WRX STI soldier on with their existing architecture that dates back to 2015. A resculpted front bumper with standard adaptive LED headlights is among this year’s new aesthetic tweaks, as are dark-finished 19-inch wheels that frame updated Brembo brakes with bright-yellow calipers. The greatest mechanical change is a new, fully electronic center differential, which Subaru claims will bring improved handling and stability versus the previous partially mechanically controlled unit. The WRX and WRX STI also receive modestly updated cabins with sprinklings of nicer materials, additional sound insulation, and a handful of updated features. For committed enthusiasts, Subaru will offer an even zestier WRX STI Type RA model for 2018 with a bit more power, upgraded handling gear, and surely an inflated sticker price, but only 500 examples are to be built.
