l was wondering what was the difference is. l know the wr tr meens tuner ready but what the difference between the tuner ready edition than the regular 2006 wrx. Looks like they both have the same 2.5l engine and td04 turbo chargers.

The difference is that the TR comes with less. The TR has cheaper seats that arent as nice as the WRX seats. Further it comes with a lesser stereo unlike the 6disc changer in the WRX and also it doesnt have fog lights or a spoiler like the WRX. l think thats about it though.

It is a base model with less bells and some of the whistles. It is intended to bridge the price gap between the various editions of the competing lancer.

TR stands for tuner ready and was meant for those who plan on changing things in the car so they kept it simple and a little cheaper. Along with what was mentioned above, they also lacked the side skirts and the mirrors are black instead of color matched like on the WRX. In my opinion, you get a whole lot for the extra $1500 for the WRX so l think it is worth it if you find one. Power and drive train are identical though so performance was the same.
