Paddle Shift Subaru Impreza WRX STI: A-Line

Fresh from Japan, Subaru have launched the Impreza WRX STI A-Line, equipped with Prodrive-developed Sportshift, a 5 speed paddle shift semi-auto gearbox allowing manual operation without requiring the driver to release the steering wheel. Downshifting Blipping Control allows the engine management system to increase engine speed while downshifting gears in order to have as smooth a shift as possible.

Offering more comfort to the everyday user, the Impreza WRX STI A-Line also has an 8-directional electronically adjustable driver's seat with optional leather seats and leather trim on the inner door paneling highlighted with silver stitching. A new color, "Satin White Pearl", is also made available in the A-Line.

The WRX A-Line shares the same 2.5 litre, 300PS, 350Nm turbocharged Boxer engine as the manual STI.
