Used 2015 Subaru WRX Sedan Consumer Reviews
Everyday RocketShip
Overall, I really enjoy my car. Its fast, its not too loud or too quiet. On just about any average freeway drive @ 75 mph i get about 30mpg with some passing of cars. If you drive 65mph you'll get 33-35mpg and if you cruise @ 55-60mph you will get almost 40mpg. Amazing all around car & when compared to the competition, there is no competition.
WRX long term - a drivers car
Over the last 22,000 miles the 'Rex' continues to shine with strong performance, excellent response to even moderate tuning, good MPG and reliability. The WRX really shines when given a COBB Stage 1 tune. Power delivery is smoother and more robust at the same time. In Stock tune the car has a light switch throttle, fast, but not smooth. Road holding is amazing - and to stress the traction limits of the car - one should be at a track. Excellent in wet and light snow conditions (only has about 5" of clearance). Car has proven a good people mover, able to take 4 adults and luggage. Ride can be rough, especially loaded with people. MPG remains higher than EPA estimates. Reliability is good, paint job is not as good as peers. Coverage is good, but paint quality to soft and chips easily. It does have rally car roots and can be taken down a gravel road (with proper training) at speeds faster then any car in its class- and most others well above it in price. Infotainment on the 2015 is mediocre compared to many - but bought the car for its simplicity and performance. Overall, still very pleased with the Rex. If you want a fast all weather, people moving, safe machine (with great resale value) - and don't want allot of electronic whiz-bang the WRX is hard to beat.

2500 mile review of my WRX
After checking numerous car reviews and seeing the praise this vehicle was getting from many automotive journalists I was convinced this was the car I wanted. Not many people would buy a car without the initial test drive. It's almost like getting married without kissing the women you have decided to wed . However during the month of March I put a deposit down for the 2015 WRX Premium model, no leather seats was an option I could live without . The owners manual has you keeping the revs under 4000 RPM for the first 1000 miles and let me be the first to say it was treacherous. Must say the car looks better in person and grows on you. Overall I am very pleased with the car.
6MT 2015 WRX is the car I always dreamed of!
This is my first turbo charged car and I always debated myself getting used EVO X vs new 2015 WRX. I think I made a right choice not choosing abused EVO X. My previous car was 2008 Toyota Camry with 160k miles and I decided to sell the car before it causes big problems. I read everything about 15WRX before I purchased it, so I was expecting stiff ride; first I was little annoyed but I got used to it. Twin scroll turbo was amazing and I didn't have any issues of turbo delay(it has around 5sec lag around 2500rpm). SAWD suspensions performed superior to anyother AWD cars I have driven. It cornered very sharply without hearing tire skid. Overall, I made a right choice of getting 2015 WRX.

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.
