test drove 2017 Subaru WRX

The 2017 WRX is an AWD pushing 268 horsepower and 258 lbs. of torque. the exterior of this car is beautiful with its signature WRX hood scoop. The interior of this car is a little bland. not much going on inside. The only thing that i couldn't stand was how far back the middle console was you couldn't rest your arm when just casually driving.

Best performance for the price

I love my Subaru a lot, yet there are a few things within the interior that tend to bother me a little bit. The over amounts of plastic, the speaker system and sometimes the overal feel of the vehicle. But besides the negatives the performance is one of the best in its class for the price, I always feel planted on the road I was in never need for power nor have the looks of the vehicle let me down. For the price of the Subaru WRX you can not beat the safety, performance, exterior and interior design, yes there are a few things that tend to bother me about my vehicle but you can't have everything you want for under 30,000.

The most fun car to drive.

This car is amazing for a four cylinder vehicle. The handling is awesome. The car goes great in the snow. I will most likely always drive a Subaru.

Sporty & Fuel Efficient

The WRX is fast but very fuel efficient, I have about 24-26 in average all the time. It come with the Dunlop summer tires, it is very stiff but has tons of grip which it is very fun to drive and safe in high speed in summer. The summer tire doesn't really work for the snowing season in Colorado though. I bought another set of winter tire package, and the WRX had become the best car I ever drove on the snow... it make snowy road like nothing. Traction control is so perfect that it won't cut gas fully when your car is sliding, but it will adjust the gas and the brake so your car can turn fast and smooth even during a snow storm. The only con(but also a pro) is the ride quality. The car is very stiff, which give you lots of feedback but you know your wife or girlfriend will hate it "A Lot".

Greatest dad car ever!

I have the premium model and this vehicle by far is superior to most. With the new and improved 2.0 boxer engine makes more for a daily driver but still getting the power! A blast to drive and so reliable. Love it.

Amazing vehicle

I was trying to decide between a number of vehicles and I'm glad I went with the wrx. For the price there is no other car available with this power and reliability

Best car I've ever owned.

I had previously owned a new 2017 Subaru WRX premium. The car met all of my needs. Despite it being a sports car, it was comfortable and very stylish. The car was very reliable, I never once had a single problem with it. It was also surprisingly good on gas mileage. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice, all wheel drive sports sedan. If it was up to me, I would have never gotten rid of it. Unfortunately, a drunk driver took that choice from me.

First Subie and I LOVE it

It's simple, it's fun to drive, it's good on fuel and known to last. What more could you ask for. Also a great value for what you get.

Great Car

Awesome car, fun to drive. Good values for the money. Takes a little bit to break it in, but once it is broken in, definitely a great car.
