Growing up watching superstar drivers like Colin McRae and Ken Block piloting Subarus like bats out of hell, my fondness for the Subaru brand–and, more specifically, the legendary WRX–was formed at a young age. In high school, I once submitted a poetry assignment that detailed the romantic joy of sliding a Subaru around in the snow before I had even earned my driver’s license. When I eventually was old enough to drive, my first car was none other than a Subaru–a 2005 Legacy 2.5GT, to be exact, equipped with a 5-speed stick.
