Question Difference between WRX and WRX SL

Was on the new subaru website and noticed that they have the wrx and also the wrx sl, whats the difference? Is it just extra features like heated seats etc.

Does the sun roof effect the structure of car, making it weaker? If so is it a good idea for wrx?

You could always climb out of it after a crash which jammed the doors!

Never seen the point in a sun roof on a car with air con.

It lets noise,draughts & fumes in.

It ***** up your aerodynamics.

It gives another entry point for the chavs.

It gives another place for water to leak in.

And on the plus side - - er - - well - - er - - pass.

All IMHO of course.

I agree - only opened mine to see if it worked! The leather heated seats are nice though...

Agree heated seats well worth having.

Now if they could chill in the summer as well then that really would be good.

Cool

Best move I made was getting the SL. I love the leather seats and the heated bit in the Winter was superb.
As for the sunroof with aircon issue I cant see one. I have extra light inside the cabin if I want it. On the days I want air circulating inside the car its sunroof open and rear windows down to listen to the perfect sounds of my zorst.
In short I have the best of both worlds
Shame they don't do the same for the STi although someone did mention that the type 25 can come with leather now so guess what I'm buying in a couple of years
