Brakes 4-wheel disc, ventilated front and rear. Dual-piston front and single-piston rear calipers. 4-channel, 4-sensor ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) . Front: 11.6 in./Rear: 11.3 in.
Wheels 17 x 7.0-inch 10-spoke aluminum-alloy
Tires 205/50 R17 M+S all-season
Manual Transmission Standard fully synchronized 5-speed manual
Automatic Transmission Optional 4-speed electronically controlled automatic with SPORTSHIFT® manual control6
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Continuous AWD: WRX models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution normally configured at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction.
Active All-Wheel Drive: WRX models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch to distribute power to where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking, to help determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) : VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speed, steering angle, brake pressure, vehicle yaw rate and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference between the driver's intended path and the one the vehicle is actually taking, VDC applies braking power and/or reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path.
Traction Control System (TCS) : VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the slipping wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.
