WRX from Baby Driver Film Is Still Being Driven by Baby

2017's action-comedy-crime film, Baby Driver, was a smash success. The National Board of Review chose the movie as one of the top ten films of 2017. [1] The movie is set in Atlanta, Georgia and follows a young, talented driver through a myriad of heists, robberies, and daring car chases. The movie drew special attention from Subaru fans, as the young driver's get-away vehicle of choice was a red WRX. 

While it's been confirmed that there will be a sequel to Baby Driver [2], it's not know if the WRX will grace the big screen a second time. However, thanks to Ansel Elgort (the actor who plays baby) and his Twitter feed, we've learned that the Baby Driver WRX is still out there spinning its wheels, utilizing its iconic Subaru performance for some fun-filled stunts. 

On January 4th, Ansel posted a video of himself taking his WRX out for some spins, in the snow.

It's no wonder why the directors of Baby Driver chose the Subaru WRX for the film's star get-away vehicle. Subaru WRX STI has assisted the Subaru Rally Team USA to 11 overall rally championships in the United States. Plus, the Subaru WRX is the longest-lasting turbocharged all-wheel drive vehicle in its class. Not to mention, the Subaru WRX has the largest passenger volume among all-wheel drive vehicles in its class. 

While we eagerly await the sequel to Baby Driver, discover the joys of the WRX for yourself. Take the Subaru WRX for a test-drive, at Ferguson Subaru. Ferguson Subaru is Oklahoma's number one Subaru volume dealer. We have a huge selection of WRX and WRX STi models to choose from.

Subaru Takes Top Picks

Consumer Reports' list of Top Picks, includes 10 vehicle segments. The list for Top Picks is based on reliability, safety, and test performance. One vehicle is selected in each segment. The new 2014 'Top List' has recently been released, and no surprise - Subaru takes top spot. However, Subaru did not simply earn one Top Pick, but two. In fact, only Subaru, and one other automaker, earned more than one spot.

Consumer Reports says, “Each is an exceptional, well-­rounded vehicle, chosen from more than 260 we’ve recently tested. They have excelled in our testing, are reliable, and have performed well in independent crash tests. In other words, it’s hard to go wrong with any of them.”


Subaru takes Top Pick for the 'Small SUV' and the 'Compact Car' segment  
Subaru's Top Picks from Consumer Reports:

Small SUV

Subaru Forester

"The Forester climbed to the top of its class after its 2014 redesign. With a space-efficient design and large windows and doors, this user-friendly SUV provides the easiest access and best visibility in its category. It has an excellent driving position, simple controls, and one of the roomiest rear seats in the category. Plus the Forester delivers a class-leading 26 mpg overall and a frugal 35 on the highway. OK, the ride is a bit firm and the in-car electronics are behind the curve; there’s still room for improvement." - Consumer Reports [1]

2014 Subaru Forester

 Compact Car

Subaru Impreza

"The all-wheel-drive Impreza gives you a lot for its affordable price. Both sedan and hatchback versions are well-rounded packages, with nimble handling and an impressively compliant, absorbent ride that’s among the best in its class. Fuel economy is also commendable for an AWD car. And the Impreza is easy to live with, thanks to a roomy interior, spacious rear seat, simple controls, and refreshingly good visibility. Our only serious gripe is pronounced road noise. But it’s no deal breaker." - Consumer Reports [1]

2015 Subaru WRX
