Most bang for the buck

by William from Detroit, MI on Fri Oct 19 2018

I bought the standard WRX (not STI) with the performance package so I have nicer wheels, sporty red brakes and Recaro racing seats. The turbo lags a bit which is cool if you like to plan ahead, however on the freeway in 5th or 6th gear I easily take over any car because the turbo is spooling up. Its a sporty car so you do feel the road which is great for a car with the handling prowess of it. Overall I am very satisfied because this car can be as sporty, tame or down right eco as you want. It truly is the a well rounded sports sedan.

Fun to drive car that is better than a hot hatch

by Ponch92 from Orlando, Florida on Mon Jan 07 2019

I was looking to get something more sensible, but I found the WRX and was instantly attracted to it. It has enough room for adults in the back seat, 4 doors, a nice full trunk with fold down seats, and one heck of a fun ride. It is sensible and fun to drive, imagine that. One of the down sides (depending on who you are) is the gas mileage for the size of the car. Topping out at 29mpg, you're probably going to average around 25/26 using required premium fuel. The second down side is the ride. It is a bit stiffer than one might expect and noisy. I don't mind this at all since I prefer the "driver" feel, but if you're looking for some more comfort, perhaps look to the Honda Civic Si or the GTI from VW. I think the WRX is a great long term fun car for the money. Subaru is difficult at best to work on price with, but the value is there. I believe the WRX is better than any of the hot hatches out there, and a better value.

Fastest Car I've Owned

by Gage Furukawa from Joliet, Il. on Thu Nov 08 2018

It's a very sporty car. I like the gear shifter with the short shift accessory and the metallic gray looks really good and matches the rims perfectly.

Most enjoyable car I’ve owned

by Cody9521 from Racine, Wi on Tue Mar 19 2019

This is by far the most enjoyable car I’ve owned. I have wanted one since the first variation was released in 2015. The styling and performance are great. I can’t speak of the reliability just yet as it is brand new, but with this being the 4th running of this body style WRX with no major recalls/problems I’d say it’s pretty good.

Great car overall

by Pleaseletmeknow on Wed May 29 2019

I’ve owned mine for six months and I am having a lot of fun with it. The only problems I am having can probably easily be fixed. Does anyone else have a drop in acceleration/power after hitting 4.5k to 5.5k rpm, then the acceleration picks back up after 5.5k? I can’t seem to find out why. Also the base in the speakers make the doors rattle. Aside from that I am very satisfied. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas

Great Car Buy!

by JamesMD from Edgewater, MD on Mon Mar 18 2019

Love this car blast to drive and has a lot of advance features found on much pricier models. If you haven't driven a Subaru you definitely should.

Better than expected!

This car hits every important point: style, performance, reliability, value for the money. I bought a six speed manual, Limited addition. It is absolutely awesome, this will not be my last WRX.
