This car checks off all the right spots

This car is by far the most reliable and most fun car I have ever owned. I’ve driven everything from Audi’s to Honda’s, and compared to them this car has the best feel and power for the price point. There is a bit of rev hang between shifting gears, and road noise is a bit loud, but if you get the car tuned professionally and put an exhaust or play music on the great upgraded speakers, it won’t matter. Not only that, but my daughter falls asleep in the car every time we drive from the comfortable cruise of the ride. Highly recommend for those who want to get into the family sporty cars.

STI is the way to go...

Owned my 2019 STI for about a year now and have never looked back. The reviews say the clutch is tough to get used to but this is my second car with a manual and it is butter about the 5th time you drive it. Throw it in Intelligent mode in the city if you want smoother shifts, then switch it to Sport Sharp on the long drives to blow by any car. The only thing I have noticed from this review that is true is the suspension is very tight so the big bumps you will feel.. The 310 hp engine makes up for the little bumps..

Definitely adds fun to the daily commute

I bought this vehicle to add a bit of excitement to my commute during the pandemic. The manual is a lot of fun to drive. Sometimes I think it could use more torque, but that would probably get me in trouble. The car handles great - like the tires are on rails around corners. With the leather interior it is a nice place to spend time. The electronics (radio, push start, beeping trunk) could use updated programming. Personally I'm not interested in automatic features; I just really wanted a simple, raw, fun vehicle. The WRX is like 90% there for me, which is as close as I can get, probably. Overall, I am very happy with it. Thanks Subaru!

Nice car, good for all around street fun.

Nice car, good for all around street fun. Put a nice set of highly rated summer tires & it performs decent on the track in stock form. Lacking in features as you cannot get all features separate. For ex: You can't get the high end sound without upgrading to the Limited trim. You also cannot get power seats with out upgrading to the Performance seating option or Limited trim. Seat adjustment & steering wheel adjustment is lacking as well! Interior lighting is also lacking & very weak. Seats 4 adults nicely & has decent trunk space for a vehicle with this pedigree. Fuel mileage is so-so if you don't stay in boost often. Turbo lag is noticed right away. This engine is the last of its kind as Subaru will do a complete update in about 2 years.

The WRX is a great, very fun car. My wife and I love it. Tons of "Get Up and Go" and corners like its on rails. This car is all about SMILES per gallon...
