WR Limited vs WRX STI explained


The WR Limited is designed as a more road-focused alternative to the WRX STI. It uses the EJ205 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a viscous center differential, offering a smoother ride, progressive power delivery, and lower running costs. Compared to the contemporary WRX STI, which features the EJ207 engine, a 6-speed manual gearbox, DCCD, stronger differentials, and larger Brembo brakes, the WR Limited is easier to live with on a daily basis while retaining authentic rally-inspired character.
