So far super enjoyable car.

I have owned a wax in the past. Decided to try the new version. Very solid car with improved options over the previous versions. Doesn?t feel like an economy car platform. Happy so far.

Best car ever!!!!!

I love the WRX. Super speedy. The new WRX engine doesn't have turbo lag and I love it. This is my 2nd WRX. Never had any problems with the first one that I had for 5 years.

In love with it

Didn't know what I was going to buy and ended up driving away in a brand new 2018 WRX. Impressed with the interior and comfort for being a sports car.

4 Door Performance Car

This is a performance car that can be daily driven, even in the winter months. There is plenty of room to fit four adults comfortably. Even though the WRX is a four wheel drive car, winter tires or all-season tires are a must for winter driving.

Best AWD

The interior styling is nice, so is the exterior. Performs really well in the snow with the right tires. Harman Kardon sounds really nice

Fun to drive!

If you like to drive, you will love this car. It?s like driving on rails. The car hugs the road and `wants? to go fast.

I love this car!

I love my 2018 Subaru WRX Premium. I opted for the manual transmission. The shifting between 1st and 2nd gear took about a month to get used to. The performance is amazing. It feels like you are on rails going around turns. The rear seat had enough room for 2 grown adults and the trunk space is roomy for such a small sedan. The gas milage (using premium) is about 19 in the city and 25 on the highway. I am sure i could improve that, but I enjoy spirited driving. There is some rev hang that is noticable, but you get used to it. I had a 2012 Dodge Charger SXT and although this car is much smaller, it is way more fun to drive.

Turbo life

I'm excited to enjoy this vehicle. It has been over 10 years since I owned a brand new vehicle so this is very awesome. Can not wait to get it broke in.
