Used 2015 Subaru WRX Consumer Reviews
Serious Fun!
This is a fast, excellent handling little car that is inexpensive and practical. It's a little rough around the edges but I love driving this car! Sometimes I have trouble taking off smoothly but after a second of turbo lag it really moves! Handling is precise and grip is amazing. The ride is very firm but well controlled. The clutch emits a pukey smell when slipped and the A/C is marginal. There is quite a bit of road and wind noise inside. I can't seem to get the base stereo to sound good; Kicker speaker upgrade is on the way.
Everything I expected and a whole lot more!!
This car is great, I have waited for years to own a Subaru WRX and now that I finally own one I couldn't be happier. It is absolutely the most fun I have had driving a car in many, many years. Just enough playful HP and torque to make the car an exhilarating fun drive. I have not had any issues with my car other than the occasional interior noise in a panel or two, easily fixed BTW by just searching the net. Oil changes are expensive, but hey I figured that using synthetic. The only thing I would change and glad they did in 16 would be the wheel size. Definitely going to an 18 - 8.5 or 9 when the time permits. I would highly recommend this car. Don't understand the negative reviews unless it was a lemon from the factory or just did not live up to the owners expectation. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

15200 Mile Review WRX Limited
For the money you can't beat it! It's very quick, handles extremely good, and is pretty efficient. The things that need to be improved are audio, navigation, and infotainment system even when purchased with Harmond Kardon system. The interior also needs some attention paid to getting rid of some annoying rattles especially from the arm rest. Once again though I can't stress enough you can't beat it for the money. Note that this vehicle is equipped with a set of summer tires. If you live in a cold climate you will 100% need to either switch to all seasons or buy a set of winter tires. I went with a set of winter tires and its safe to say it's unstoppable now!—— Well this is a update on my review. Got rid of the car at 38000 miles due to excessive oil consumption. It would burn 1.2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Subaru was trying to tell me it was normal which I think is bogus. Traded it in for a 2017 STI that now has 25,000 miles on it. So far so good with the STI and yes it’s worth the premium price.

Lesson learned
I’ll keep this short and sweet, oil is done every 3K and all recommenced maintenance has been performed, NO MODS, unless tint adds horsepower. I bought this vehicle as a CPO with 22K from Grand Prix Subaru in NY. Two days later the Bluetooth stopped working and GrandPrix wanted me to drive all the way back to potentially replace the radio. In June 2019 @ 52K it spun a rod bearing while on the highway, needless to say that engine/turbo was trashed. It took, 2 months for the repairs to be completed. Now at 60K, it spun another rod bearing and I am sitting here wondering why I thought buying a Subaru would be a good investment, or maybe it’s just dumb luck.

Fun, affordable, and practical!
Was in the market for a non fwd car, manual trans, and a useable back seat for under 30k. Very few cars to choose from, but thankfully Subaru exists! Great power, just the boost takes some getting used to.Steering is tight with great feel.Very comfortable seats and visabilty front and rear is great.
