2023 premium manual. Last year without eyesight Definitely wouldn't want the nannies.Absolutely no complaints or problems with this vehicle. It's a driving experience like no other car I've driven. It's like raw mechanical freedom. In a world of CVTs I feel fortunate to be able to drive this. I average about 24 miles per gallon driving mostly around town. I let it warm up before jumping on it and change the oil every 2500 miles to keep the turbo happy .Really fun car!!12000 mile update. Car still runs and drives flawlessly. Seats and driving position are really comfortable and the view out of the car with the seat set in its lowest position is still good. There are vents under the seats for the back and the back has plenty of room for my 90 pound dog. The AWD allows you to get on it with no wheel spin or electronic interference, total freedom to push it to it's limits. It's always fun to find that sweet spot between gears turbo and RPM with the traction this car provides. You always feel like you're on a track.

After 2 gens of Golfs, it was time to replace Mk7 GTI after 8 years. I bought the GTI for its dual clutch transmission and premium interior. But dieselgate (6M TDI owner) and poor local dealership service really turned me off from owning another VW. Had planned on picking a Prius at the end of the year, if dealers no longer charge a markup. But out of the blue Subie sent me an email and offered 0%. Only catch is its a 2023 model. Would've love to have Eyesight feature, but at $3K price increase and likely smaller discount, I can use my own "eyesight" thank you. I spent extra for the Limited (6M) only because of lane change alert. Fun little "hatch". Would never have gotten the Golfs if Subie still made hatchbacks. No complains after 3K miles, except for the mpg. But I can live with it because I only need to report to office once a week. Would've stuck to Prius otherwise. Alternate was the BRZ. Would've been tough choice if 2024 could also be had at 0%.

Love the Subaru WRX, got the limited with short shifter. It’s a fun car, I love taking it to road trips especially the mountains.
