Best car I owned

I own a 2019 WRX Base and this my second WRX in a row, as I didn’t even consider something else honestly- I simply love the way this car handles in daily driving. Just considering stick shift I had a VW Passat, Audi A3, VW Jetta TDI in the past and never gave a thought of Subaru until I had a sweet encounter of WRX! It perfectly fit the bill - fast response, AWD, sedan family friendly, utility ready with back seat flat down, great MPG for daily commute and yet exhilarating driving thrill! Also, didn’t realize WRX has such fans and cult following :) get waves and thumbs up from fellow WRXers. When it comes to mods - sky is the limit. You can do tons on performance and quite significant on the exterior looks with aftermarket or own STI brand accessories. This is the reason no two WRX look the same. I prefer base trim as there are plenty you can upgrade with aftermarket to personalize and perfect your ride in your own pace and is a great value either you chose to keep it for years or when you trade in. Ask any used dealer, when it comes to a WRX they buy in a heart beat giving you a best price that will always surprise you. Recommended simple exterior mods STI front lower lip and Rally Armor mud flaps, this gives needed face lift and completion. Around second year short throw shifter. If you decided to keep beyond 3-year warranty do Cobb Access Port flash map, then stage-2. Don’t replace tires but upgrade to 19” with 9.5 width wheels you like and go 245 or even max 255.

Previous to my Black 2019 WRX Base, I owned a 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport, 2015 Ford Fiesta ST (w/ 2.0L turbo), 2017 Ford Escape (w/2.0L turbo), 2001 Ford Focus and a '67 Ford Mustang (w/289 cu in (4.7 L) Windsor V8). The WRX is by far the most fun I've had in any mode of transportation I've owned. As powerful as the V8 in my mustang was, it could never keep up with the WRX on the twisty mountain/back country roads I love to frequent on weekends. The Fiesta ST was fun as well but the torque steer and spastic nature of that car had me on the edge of my seat nervous. Not so with the sure footed WRX especially in rainy Seattle weather and 245/35ZR19" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+s all around. Good Times!

Very responsive and smooth performance! I needed a CVT, but still very quick! Like the eyesight suite. Ride is good and handles well. The limited interior is comfy and fine for this price point. It is a great car in summer and winter!

My opinion for what it is worth

2020 Subaru WRX STI Limited 4dr Sedan AWD w/Low Profile Trunk Spoiler (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Well the STI limited is a fun car and handles like all the reviews say. Am a bit disappointed that they come with summer tires in the new England area instead of all season but quick fix. Wish Subaru would add a bit of sound materials to quite the road noise. I know is a rally car but can still be civil in road noise area.extended arm rest could be a bit bigger would make more comfortable during long rides. Overall fun and responsive vehicle. Nice control setup and short throw shifter is fun as well. Race seats are nice wish were all leather but still nice and not bad on long rides.
