Needs premium gas as it is a performance car. The 4-cylinder turbo boxer engine is on Ward's Top Ten Best Engines list for 2016! Fun to drive...makes me smile every time! SM

Great Value - True Drivers Car

The base audio is good only for the disinterested listener. Skip the HK-Nav package - upgrade the tweeters, speakers and add a subwoofer. Twice the car at a fraction of the cost of the real competitors.

I am a service manager at a car dealer and have been exposed to many makes and models. This is by far the most fun car to drive!!!!

Driving Good, Interior Bad

If you enjoy working on your own car, I would highly recommend the 'rex. If you don't mind a little turbo lag and love churning through gears on backroads, again, I would highly recommend the 'rex. If you simply want a stylish daily driver, this is not the car for you. CONS: An extremely lackluster and, at times, gaudy interior detracts from the daily driving experience. The infotainment system is straight garbage; it barely does what it's supposed to do, even on my limited trim model with an '''''upgraded''''' system. The sound system is abysmal for a vehicle of this price range. Fake carbon fiber and hard plastic were not good design choices by subaru. PROS: Performance. This vehicle performs comparably to an i4 BMW 3 series, while having a much lower MSRP. The ride is stiffer and the cabin is louder, but cornering is a breeze and there's plenty of power here.
