2015 Subaru WRX Premium - Playing in the Snow - Automobile
A lubricant’s purpose never changes -- turn stiff and rigid into loose and lithe. And the lubricant for the 2015 Subaru WRX is snow. A light dusting of snow turns every street into a low-mu surface, letting our 2015 Subaru WRX with its Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter tires from Tire Rack loosen up and play like the stage-ready rally car it dreams of becoming. A state of disarray Fortunately for the 2015 WRX , southeastern Michigan is an abysmal place in winter. When there’s a snowfall of a micrometer or more, the snow stays on the road until hundreds of Michiganders have driven across it and forced it into dingy snowbanks on the shoulders of the asphalt. The 2015 Subaru WRX is the perfect car for our tundra, the Kid Chaos of midwinter Michigan. And with all-wheel drive and winter tires, you have confidence even when the conditions are less than ideal. It had snowed 36 hours previously, meaning the highway still had snow all over it. I could only presume some Chevy Volt driver had been texting when his plug-in hybrid with its low-rolling-resistance tires lost traction and slammed into the back... The Subaru’s navigation said it would take 45 minutes, while my Waze smartphone app said it would take 40. I exited the highway as quickly as I could and continued. Source: www.automobilemag.com
