Used 2018 Subaru WRX Consumer Reviews
2018 STI
Let me just say one doesn’t buy a car like this expecting top luxuries like a Lexus. This is a driver focused car and LET ME TELL YOU, it definitely delivers on that. I’ve had my ‘18 STI for about 7 months and surprisingly it’s still stock which is how I’m gonna keep it. The power is plenty, the room is plenty. I’m about 5’9 (your average joe) and from my driving position I can still sit super comfortable in the backseat. Handling is outstanding but of course could use upgrades ;). I don’t ever feel scared when it rains out because all wheel drive baby!!!!!! The trunk... super huge. The suspension is perfect for me (as in I don’t mind feeling most bumps on the road) and the seats are super comfortable. This is my daily driver so with these gas prices, it may not be the best but I drive mainly freeway getting about 24 MPG but I gotta baby foot the gas pedal but boy oh boy when you step on it it’s smiles per mile. In love with my car and always super excited to drive it everyday.

I can finally review a WRX!
Wanted one of these cars for a long time now. Had a 2015 Impreza Hatch and when the lease was close, I went and got myself the WRX (of course I had to get in the iconic WR Blue!) I love this car, great acceleration, smooth shifts, great steering, glue like handling! My only cons (and I'm being nit picky) are: 1. The poor infotainment system. While it is better than the one in my 2015 Impreza, it is still lacking the advancement of other systems. It can be slow and buggy, sometimes taking a few miles to connect to my phone etc. There have been many times I have just turned the stereo off and listened to the exhaust! 2. Its not a hatchback....come on Subaru.....everyone wants it back. 3. The hard plastic rear deck. Mine rattles and squeaks over bumps. 4. The economy based computer programming. The revs stick when shifting from first to second, there is no turbo spool in first unless you are near 6000 RPM, and the dumb MPG meter on the dash. I didn't buy this car to save fuel! 5. Its not a hatchback......two sets of golf clubs barely fit in the trunk. 6. The USB ports are in the center console....which is also the size of a child's shoe box.

Transmission problem update!
It passed almost 8 months after my transmission problem, it is never accured again, but I still feel bad taste, because when you buy a new car you don’t want to have any problems right away. Manual transmission is made almost more than 100 years and it should be already perfected, I don’t know why Subaru still have problems. It is still shifts not like on other cars, Subaru should revise the transmission. To be honest I am afraid to keep this car for long term, after this transmission problem, I don’t want this problem come back when my warranty ends, I hope Subaru company would give me more warranty because of they fault. Otherwise for other side car is very fun to drive. Only winter time when freezing temperature was below 20 Fahrenheit windshield was making noise like cracking noise. Also when you put on the reverse gear & after to 1st gear back up camera still on about 10-seconds. If Subaru company are not going to take attention to my concerns I will replace this car and go back to my Toyota company, because my other two cars is Toyota’s and never gave me any problems.

STi Type RA is a fun ride!
Lots of fun! Track car for everyday use. 6 piston Brembo brakes stop in a dime. Bilstien shocks keep STi firmly planted in road. Carbon fiber roof and spoiler are functional too. Fast, drives great, handles like its on rails and looks good too.

Most exciting car I've ever owned!
My husband and I recently bought a 2018 Subaru WRX Limited with a CVT transmission. I have to say, the tuner in me wanted a 6MT, however, the Mom in me really needed the CVT. I have to say we made the right decision. I love this car! I love that, in a world of bus SUV's, my car stands out. This car is by far not a cookie cutter ride.
