Used 2017 Subaru WRX Consumer Reviews
Transmission issues 17 WRX Limited
I have a 2017 Limited WRX manual shift with 25k miles. Brought it in the shop earlier this week for some transmission noise and they installed new clutch kit and fork. Picked it up yesterday and today it popped in the freeway and is back in the shop. Not a good trend

Clunking noise.
Since about 4,000 miles, the car developed a clunking noise in the front suspension. It is progressively getting worse. It has been in the shop four times across two different dealerships. They can't find the problem but they admit it is making a noise. Even Subaru America will not do anything. At this point I am hiring a lawyer. Update, I traded the wrx in on a more reliable vehicle, GMC Sierra and I have no issues with my GMC. I will never own a Subaru again. Their are junk and Subaru will not honor the warranty. Update, I have not stepped foot on a Subaru lot since. Also, I have met others that feel the same. As of 3/16/25, mothing has changed. I think Subarus are junk and the company will not stand by their warrantees. I will not own one and I advise others not to.

Kickass!
Best car I've ever owned! Yes its a little loud inside, but I hear swapping to all seasons helps a lot. The premium stereo is good, but missing a lot of features, which is lame. Suggest getting the stock stereo and upgrading aftermarket. And there is soooo many aftermarket parts for this car, it's insane.

Test drive multiple times....
Great car if performance is main foucus. Plenty of low end torque for everyday driving. Drivability in everyday traffic is poor. Car really wants to be driven hard, when driven slow shifting is cumbersome. 1st gear has a rev hang that cause rough shift to 2nd. Sucks as an everyday driver, CVT maybe a better choice....
