The latter part of the day would be left solely to driving the better of the two models: the WRX, and bless Subaru's heart for doing so. Externally, the difference between the WRX and 2.5GT aren't staggering because neither chassis (4- or 5-door) are as wide as the flagship STI, but you get plenty more car over the 2.5GT when stepping into a WRX. Most notably, the WRX carries the STI-style grille, rear STI-style gate spoiler (5-door only) and a standard Aero Package to set it apart. Turn the engine over and you hear and feel that nice, familiar Boxer growl. The instrument panel lights up and does a funky, little dance (it does this on the 2.5GT, too, and does a goodbye number when you shut down as well) as you get comfortable and buckle yourself in. Second, grab that shift knob and move the shift lever to First gear. Yes - a manual gearbox! Things are feeling good and you haven't even left the parking lot. But once you do, let it rip kid, because now there's 265 hp and 244 lb-ft. Do the math: that's an extra 41 hp and 18 lb-ft over the previous generation.</p>
