I loved the reliability of the car, I haven't had a problem since buying it. It is a very quick car with a good amount of torque. The turbo really gives it a good boost. The interior is not super nice and flashy but its a performance car so I didn't expect as much. You need to put in higher grade fuel to make sure you don't develop rod knock which is a downer because the gas is much more expensive.

Best car I've ever owned.
This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned and probably my favorite vehicle. I bought it used, and so far, I have put about 30,000 miles on it. Besides routine maintenance such as tire rotation, air filter, and oil changes, I haven't had to do anything to it. With 155,000 miles on the odometer, the 2.0 liter boxer engine turns over with only half a crank. The boxer sound is unlike any other engine, the car sounds almost Porsche-like. Mate it with the five-speed transmission, and you got something that feels like a European sports car. Subaru's AWD system is spectacular in the snow, even without good tires. The car is a blast to drive, and the turbo gives the car enough pick up to get in trouble. Interior space is sort of cramped, but as a guitar player, I still manage to fit all my music gear into the car with trunk space leftover. Like I said before, this has to be the best car I have ever owned. I'll drive it until the wheels fall off, then I might have to get them put back on again.

All-round, all-weather, and fun to drive car.
Handles great in bad driving conditions -- snow, mud, dirt. Hatchback is easily accessible and holds a lot. The car has been very reliable for me. In 9+ years, have only replaced battery, tires, brake rotors (salty roads rusted them).
Subaru's WRX gets an improvement for the 2024 model year, with the addition of the new TR trim. While it doesn't boost the car's 271 turbocharged horsepower, it does add key upgrades to the brakes, chassis, and interior. Read our full review (and video!) to find out more.
