Great sporty car for its niche

If you must have a 4 door, very good performance, only have $35K to spend, do not want poor long term reliability / expensive maintenance of European cars, and size bloat of other cars, this is a great choice. Not the fastest car but acceleration is very good. Beware turbo lag! Do not expect to mod the engine unless you want to void the warranty, bummer. Steering is good, handling is great (within reason, not M3 level), ride is very jarring. Shifter is decent feeling, but fast 2nd to 3rd gear shifts can get screwed up as shifter seem to find the same spot exactly between 1st and 3rd, preventing shifter going into 3rd. 4 wheel drive is there. Can cause some torque steer, but you can really feel the 4 wheels pull you through the turns ( if you are aggressive) . Interior is looks OK, but remember this is only a $35K car with most of the cost going to the turbo boxer engine, 4 wheel drive, and suspension. Front seats very supporting, rear is like any other econo-box. Base stereo is poor. Instrument have many different screens, which seems cool at first, but then you realize most of the screens show nothing of interest, except boost gauge. Car given 4 stars as there are faster sedan, but more expensive too. This does not mean this is not a very fun car to drive and own.

I have driven an M5, 370Z, Mustang GT and several other bmw'S. FOR THE MONEY, this is by FAR the best!

Okay let start off with I had a 2004 WRX. I love it and I would of still kept it if I didn't total it. Unfortunately [non-permissible content removed]. Went to purchase a 2015 Wrx I saw a lot of reviews and felt I made my research. Unfortunately I didn't do it correctly I'm guess. At 300miles the check engine with the cruise control came on flashing, and while at a stop light (being in nutral) the case get it was going to stall. Took it in "they got it fix". Around 2,000 miles or so it did the same thing not only the check engine and cruise control came back on and the ABS and the hill assists and the rough idling kept on happening. Took it in they kept it for an entire month. Got it back and when turning on the car there's a very loud gear grinding sound coming for the engine bay (while in nutral). Took it in for the 3rd time they said its normal and all the new WRX make the same noise. WRONG!!!! It doesn't. I honestly wouldn't recommend this model to anyone. Buy a 2014 your better off. I've never thought subaru wouldn't stand behind their product. This car is garbage get something else a GTI your better off or a lancer
