I absolutely love my 2013 WRX Hatchback. I got mine used at 80,000 miles and I've already put 13,000 miles on in less than 9 months. I RELIGIOUSLY let mine warm up before driving, I change oil every 3,500-4,000 miles, I CLEAN THE MAF SENSOR often (extremely easy), and I do not have any engine modifications done... This motor has been reliable through and through if you truly take care of it, just like any car... [I also suggest a good throttle-body cleaning, and I'm about to do my spark plugs soon too!] The cloth seat gets slightly uncomfortable if you're really moving your body around roughly, but 2.5 hour road trips don't bother me at all. The space on the hatchback model is legendary, it's ALMOST as good as my old 2009 Scion xB... Less headroom/height, but it is just as wide, and deep! The sound system is also mid-tier but that's easily fixable... Especially if you have a cat-back exhaust like me, then you'll never turn the radio on anyway LOL! My pops has a 930-WHP 6-speed Challenger Hellcat... So I can't necessarily call this car fast; But it is very quick for what it is regarding the price... It corners faster than the average person could ever handle, and off-road it is just as awesome as you would dream. [Coil-overs are a great upgrade for this car (or any car), in an effort to improve handling.] Of course, during some latter model years, all WRX's and STI's come with the wide-body... so the car just looks extremely beautiful in my opinion. I also put aftermarket LED headlights and taillights on mine to really seal off the look of the car! This was also my first manual car, which I really, really, REALLY love to drive... The shifter itself is a little 'clunky', but a Cobb aftermarket Short-Shifter+Bushings could easily fix that. The clutch has always felt perfect to me; Not too light, not too heavy... This car is great, and I hope you buy one to fall in love with too!

The WRX was an amazing performance car to own. It easily outfoxes many much more powerful cars through it's incredible handling. Without traction control it is a beast and a true performance machine - you don't buy a WRX for the interior - it's for one reason - it's fast as xxxxx.

I purchased this car (a 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI) as part of a trade-in on a 2017 Subaru WRX, after losing my project/daily driver (a 2002 Subaru WRX) to a hit-and-run incident. This car is the perfect balance of the two; all the amenities of a new car (Bluetooth, Nav, heated leather seats, dynamic throttle and center differential controls, etc.), with all the character and styling of the older Subarus to go with it. Never before have I felt so comfortable, while having a smile from ear to ear, as I make my way around winding back-roads. The car is stunning in just about any color, but the Crystal White Pearl (CWP) on my specific vehicle was as bright and vibrant as the newer 2017, despite the 3 year difference between them. Though I found my listing with only 9k miles (extremely low for this make/model), the car still felt as tight and fresh as a brand new car off the showroom floor. While this car is currently my daily driver, it will soon be replaced in that role by a much cheaper (less precious to me) daily to help preserve the fantastic condition I found it in.
