Subaru WRX Days

For whatever reason one day I got an email from Subaru inviting me to Subaru WRX Days. Now I had no idea what it was but it was free, offered free food and an opportunity to drive the new Legacy 2.5 GT around a custom course. This vehicle is rated at 243 HP so while certainly not a leader in that category is pretty good.

The course it turns out was designed to show off the all wheel drive. As you were coming out of a 90 degree corner they has a water sprinkler going on the pavement and if you were on it hard it would start to slide and the all wheel drive would allow you to just pull straight out. I had never experienced this but have experienced other advantages of the all wheel drive in snow.

All in all it was a fun morning and the food they provided was pretty good too. They even had a small track where you could race remote controlled Subaru's.
