Used 2015 Subaru WRX Sedan 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.
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.
2 1/2 years in and loving every minute of it
I have had this car since February of 2015. Fantastic daily driver, fun to drive aggressively. Gets great mileage for a performance car. I love getting into this car and driving it every day. I have had some issues with the car. The initial clutch was faulty and went out at 18K miles (I am 50 years old, don't race the car, and have had manuals all my life that routinely go 80-100K before needing a clutch). The new clutch had a totally different feel, lighter, and didn't fight with the hill holder like the first one. Also, the battery died at 29K miles. Both items replaced under warrantee. I have been changing my own oil, so only take it to the dealership for major service intervals. One thing that's great about this car is the boy racers always upgrade the wheels and rubber, so I was able to get a whole set of OEM rubber with factory rims with only 6K miles on them off Craigslist for 500 bucks, as well as a set of all seasons for the winter. Will drive this one into the ground!
