2022 Subaru WRX Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

The new WRX shows improvements in all categories over its predecessors. The new 2.4 liter boxer engine is great. It doesn't rely so much on the turbo to get up and going but when the turbo does kick in you're in for a treat. The car is spacious and comfortable during long drives and you can easily fit a small frailly with no issues. Cargo space is great too and foldable seats allows for larger items to fit as well. The manual is easy to drive and the clutch feels great as well. If you're looking for a sedan this is the one to get. If it's in the budget get at least a premium trim. For an additional 2k or so you do get some nice features.

This car is so fun to drive and the supposed rough drive feels great to me. I was certain my husband would love it but did not expect to love it more. We are very old people and can easily get in and out of the car. Love the design and fuel efficiency isn’t too bad…getting average 29 MPG.

It took me several months to find a rhythm in this car, and after 14 months I'm still learning. At almost 5k either it's loosening up or I'm loosening up. Drive it normally and it does okay but doesn't inspire. There isn't that sense of joy, for lack of a better word, that other hi-perf cars I've owned imparted even in sedate driving. But flog it and, to its credit, it responds. A WRX has always been on my bucket list, and it mostly lives up to my expectations. It doesn't score as high on the thrill-o-meter as I'd hoped, but it's a better daily than I thought it would be, and in this price range maybe that's the best you can do. I think the previous gen was more visceral and maybe more what I was looking for. Driven with some consideration for the drivetrain, acceleration is brisk rather than fast. Power delivery is peaky, which I don't mind--it's turbo lag but reminds me of an engine coming on cam. You do run out of revs quickly, and it's easy to hit the rev limiter. I'd call the handling confident rather than Nürburgring. Bear in mind that I owned a 2008 Corvette Z06 a few years ago, and anything less extreme suffers in comparison. Also bear in mind that I started driving in 1970 and change cars frequently, so if you're a twenty-something, some of my criticisms may not apply. The interior is serviceable but reminds you it's based on an entry-level car. I'm getting 22 mpg, which is border-line acceptable, although the economy-car gas tank will have you visiting gas stations frequently. The ride on a smooth freeway is quite good, and with cruise control on it's a comfortable cruiser, but on any surface even slightly rough the car jolts so much that it's difficult to use the touch screen. It isn't much smaller than the BMW 330x it replaced, but the footwell isn't quite large enough for my size 13s to be comfortable. Wind and road noise are so prominent at speed that the Harmon Kardon is pretty much a waste on the freeway. The shifter is adequate, if occasionally balky (I may have the factory short shifter installed) and way way better than the 2018 BMW shifter I suffered with for three years. I get why so many WRX owners mod their car--it's a great base for creating something more overtly hi-perf. I think the chassis could handle significantly more power, and maybe mine will once the warranty expires. Given all my nitpicking, why do I give the WRX five stars? Because I'm grateful that a relatively affordable sports sedan with stick is still around and offers as much as the WRX does. And because I think it's a car that will wear well on me.

Bought the GT Model, fully loaded with the exhaust. The good news is it feels a LOT faster than last years model. The noise level is greatly reduced, and it goes over bumps like a champ. The Interior on our GT is better with soft-touch plastic and fake suedes. What we like the most is the dampening and the paddle shifting which feels real-ish. Not sure if anyone would call the upgraded stereo good - it's just okay. The trim under the windows in the rear looks incomplete, and the quarter window looks like it has some kind of shrink wrap at the top - looks super tacky. That seems strange because the rest of the car is put together nicely. On the highways and over ruts on the highways? WOW!. The car is great! The CVT turbo-lag is improved and made it up to Audi and VW GTi standards of "you-know-it's-there-but-whatever". The steering on the highway and while driving aggressively tightens up nicely, but may be a bit to slack for city driving. Turn-in in all situations is much improved. People who would insult the screen speed or user-friendliness are exaggerating, it's fine, has the right amount of AC and app inputs. But the rear-view camera is still BELOW par - but better. All the cladding looks funny, but works. The GT seats are extremely comfortable - even though they do not look like it. Never sat in the back - because I won't. The hood comes up without using a stick. Trunk closing is less tin-ny sounding. Not sure why Subaru still uses light bulbs for turn signals.
