Love It

After driving a 2011 WRX 5 speed for almost 8 years, I traded it in for the CVT trans. My wife refuses to drive a stick (if we ever need to switch cars) and I need hip surgery from many years of hard labor, and running. I love the CVT. It is smooth and quick.

Everything I've been waiting for.

I love this car. It's the perfect blend of sedan sized family capability and coupe style sportiness and performance. And with Subaru's penchant for long-lasting vehicles, I expect to happily drive this one for 200k miles.

Heritage Blue 50th Anniversary 2018 WRX

The limited edition has every bell and whistle I could possibly need. The color is a muted blue, a throwback which is only found on 600 2018 WRXs world wide. The exterior has a 50th anniversary badge on the front doors, a sunroof, self leveling headlights, lane change warning on the side mirrors, backup warning for cars traveling perpendicular to your back up path, and keyless entry. The interior hits you in the face with Recaro race seats for the front, light grey seatbelts, 18?(I think) display. A customizable HUD above the display can show fuel useage, boost guage, differential adjustment, backup camera and more. The short throw shifter is perfectly done. Each shift clicks into place smoothly but with a distinct feel as you move through all 6 gears. The shift knob is beautiful and matches well with the newer design on the steering wheel giving you a symbiotic feel between steering and shifting at a fast pace. Trading up from the 2009 WRX to the 2018 WRX, I noticed a difference in throttle response at mid to high end speeds... it?s quick. The low end throttle is a little more aggressive which takes some getting used to. Overall I am extremely happy with my car choice. This will probably be my last WRX as I feel like the STI might be calling my name for a turn at my household after these five years of payments are up... but this will be a fun five years!

Most Reliable Car!

The car I owned before my WRX was declared a total loss following an accident. I wasn't initially looking for a different car as I had barely owned the previous one for two years. Once the decision came to it, I knew I needed a bigger car (as I owned a Chevy camaro prior) because I had started a family. The WRX gives me everything I need - 4 doors for my growing family, speed, a turbo engine, AWD, and everything else. I am extremely happy with my buy!
