Hi All,
Im doing a little reasearch, while on a hunt for a car with "*****"
Came across this site in the process.
The question I have is, Does anyone out there have one of the WRX'S with an Automatic Transmission? If so how do they preform in the way of speed?
Currently driving a T-Am GTA with an auto, and am getting bored with it! Time for a change!
Reason Im asking bout the auto is I can't buy a stick, lost my left leg below the knee while racing my ricerocket a few years back, and miss being able to "Go Fast".....Soooo if any of ya'll can give a fella some help as to how this turbo-pup preforms with an auto, let me know! Interested in both the sedan and wagon performance! (Shame the STI is stick only!!)

 

automatic WRX has a fuel cut out at 120mph. Maybe you can fix it with a piggy back. other that that I don't know much more about the auto REX

 

I don't think the auto WRX is going to have as much high-end punch as your GTA but it will get off the line quicker.

 

Oh, and it will carve corners much better too.

 

another Q: would a stock WRX be capable of downshift from 5th to 3rd? say, 5th gear and running 70mph then rev match and downshift to 3rd.

TIA

 

No problem. 3rd gear is right around 5000RPM at 70MPH, so you still have a bit of room to wind it out.

 

alright!!!
