What is the 0-60 time for the 2018 Subaru WRX?

My wife and I just retired, and we’re looking to liven up our daily routine with a new sports car. Lately we’ve taken an interest in the 2018 Subaru WRX model, but I’m wondering about the acceleration. How quickly can the 2018 Subaru WRX get from 0 to 60?

Congratulations on both of your retirements—and what better way to put some more thrill in your lives than with a new sports car!
When tested by Car and Driver, the 2018
Subaru WRX
came out with a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds—though this result ranged between 5.3 and 5.5 seconds depending on the tester and trim.
Strangely, this is actually a 0.5 second slower acceleration time than the 2015 Subaru WRX, but perhaps the 2018 model’s quicker braking distance—hitting 60-0 at 70 feet instead of 66 feet—makes up for it.
While big-budget race cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo or the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ may hit 0-60 in a lightning 2.5 seconds, unless you’re looking for some G-Force driving, 5.5 seconds to 60 is thrilling just the same.
