2024 Subaru WRX review: Our expert's take

By Damon Bell

The verdict: The new-for-2024 Subaru WRX TR trim brings a sharper edge to the regular WRX — for better and for worse.

Versus the competition: In any of its available versions, the WRX’s standard all-wheel drive and distinctive rally-car-for-the-street personality help it stand out from other performance-focused compact cars.

When Subaru fully redesigned its WRX compact sports sedan for the 2022 model year, it made the car quieter and significantly more refined than the previous-generation model. For at least a few performance-minded shoppers, however, the new-gen WRX might have been a little too refined. When Cars.com Managing Editor Joe Bruzek reviewed the car, he praised its improved ride quality and more easily accessible power, but he bemoaned its numb steering feel and lack of distinctive engine noise. Subaru also disappointed enthusiast buyers by canceling its previously announced plans to produce a next-generation version of the WRX’s hotter STI variant — at least one with a traditional gasoline engine.

For 2024, Subaru has aimed to rectify some of these issues with the introduction of the new WRX TR, a manual-transmission-only model that adds a bit more edginess and athleticism to the basic WRX formula. Subaru previously used the TR suffix on a stripped-down, budget-priced WRX trim that launched with the 2006 model; back then, the initials stood for “tuner-ready.” This time, TR unofficially stands for “track-ready,” as the new car is outfitted for enhanced performance on a track. The new TR is not a price leader; it’s actually the second-spendiest WRX in the lineup, slotting about $2,500 below the line-topping GT trim.

I took a WRX TR on a 1,000-mile summer road trip to see how it compares with the rest of the WRX lineup, as well as with other performance-oriented compact cars.

STI Lite

The TR could be considered an “STI lite” version of the WRX. It gets an upgraded performance suspension for sharper handling, just like the departed STI, but unlike the STI, it doesn’t get a hotter engine. The swan-song 2021 WRX STI packed a high-output flat-four engine making 310 horsepower, but the 2024 TR has to make do with the same 271-hp, turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four that powers other WRXs.

In place of the 17- or 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels on other WRXs, though, the TR gets unique 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels fitted with Bridgestone Potenza S007 summer performance tires. The brakes are upsize Brembo units with six-piston calipers in front and two-piston calipers in the rear, the suspension gets stiffer springs and revised dampers, and the dual-pinion steering rack has been tuned for better responsiveness.
