This Trim level of the WRX IS the one to get if you're looking to put some fun back in your commute and NOT break the bank. I just took delivery of the same vehicle but in Silver and it's a joy to drive. Even just driving on a highway is fun again with this car. I think we've all been brainwashed into NEEDING all the bells and whistles. The Base model is significantly lighter than the other trim levels. There is NO NEED for larger wheels and tires. These stick like glue to the road. There is no need for seat heaters with cloth seats. There is no need for a high power expensive sound system...listen to the wonderful muted growl of that boxer engine instead. Stop playing with the infotainment system and start driving again! For the price and availability, (Civic Si is next to impossible to come by and is slower) this car will give you the most smiles per mile.
Hopefully my base comes soon , I was looking a the other models base it's perfect 2.4 l turbo all wheel drive 6 speed is all I need to Hear. Plastic cladding around the wheel wells stops rust it is tracks
I am looking to get this for my 20 year old son who is in his last year of college. Is this an reliable car? I use to drive manuals and I feel with all of the theft going on, having a manual car in this day and time can be a deterrent. Is this car reliable and safe?
For me the sweet spot would be the Premium trim minus the Harman/Kardon and sunroof package. This way you get the 18" wheels and heated seats. Don't judge, I'm old and like my butt warmed on frigid mornings.
If you’re looking at a WRX you have a pretty good idea. Also I’m sure you are probably watching on a iPhone or smartphone try to google it. Literally take a minute to do so. But here you go; 2.4 Liter Turbo. Makes 271 horsepower and 258 lbs/torque.

Preach! Taking delivery of my base this week. Can't wait!
@@josh9328 Enjoy!

2.4 l alot of room for horsepower too 3 Or 400 safely
Getting this car in grey today. Can't freaking wait. In about 3 and a half hours, I'll be driving it. I seriously can't wait to drive it.
The double screen really is better than the giant single one. It's more responsive
This is the one to get. Glad they still have a physical key and no sunroof in the base.
very refreshing to see car companies putting turn key ignitions in cars

@@3MZFE as long as you have proper immobilizers that trash can't get anywhere near your car
I have a 2023 Premium. That’s the one to get. The 2024’s have eyesight and lane change.
@@ubroberts5541you can't get a manual with the Eyesight system. Only CVT
I have this car in metallic black and it's one of the funnest cars I've ever driven.
Is insurance high?
Perfect review

Seems like a nice car I usually buy GM manual transmission vehicles but since they're no longer available this could be my next
I just wish the base model had fog lights.
Is the infotainment screen in slow motion when you swiped it? If not then it’s slowly than my grandma.
No spare tire? how about naturally aspirated is it available and displacement, you need to include all info.

He said that it's a 2.4 L and all wrx's are turbocharged.
the plastic is all the parts that rust first!
Plastic cannot rust.. only metal
The last year to get a real drivers car.
Why? I think Subaru has shown enthusiasm to keep producing the wrx in 2025 and forward
@@MrFoxfire510 yeah but they're loaded with nanny cams and the like.
dual screen is not as good. lets be real
