Brilliant Chassis, Flawed Details: 2025 Subaru WRX tS

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/11/18

For this episode, we take the wheel of the 2025 Subaru WRX tS. With Brembo brakes, STi-tuned damping, and a flat-four engine that keeps the center of gravity low, the WRX tS is a lively, precise partner on back roads. It’s not perfect— driver assist systems feel heavy-handed, the manual shifter lacks Germanic precision, and storage space is limited—but the adjustable drive modes and chassis balance make a compelling case for rally-inspired fun that still suits everyday driving.

Return-to-office mandates were widely implemented with the expectation that requiring employees to work on-site would lead to increased productivity and a more cohesive work environment. However, in many cases, these policies resulted in performance theater—where employees focus more on appearing busy or being seen by management rather than actually achieving meaningful results. This shift often overlooked the true value of autonomy, flexibility, and trust that many employees appreciate. As a
