Thanks for this. I was lucky to find one in black in my area before its listing went up. Put my deposit this weekend. Currently being shipped and should be in by the end of the month.
Very nice review. It was very informative and everything was explained clearly. My son just purchased a 2021 WRX Premium in Crystal White Pearl with all the options your review stated except his has halogen headlights and fog lights. I'm not sure if the headlights move with the steering but I'll ask him to check it out. It only had 4,990 miles on it and has all the beautiful Weathertech like factory Subaru floor mats and trunk mat. The car was spotless and he is enjoying his first ride that he actually owns and purchased himself, and not Dad's car. I actually sent him the link so he can check this video out. Again a very informative and well spoken review. Thank You
Well insurance depends on where you live, your driving record and some other factors! Any car can be cheap to insure, depending on those factors! I'm not sure there would be a huge difference between the two. But I'm guessing it would be high because of the volume of the car, and the accident rate for the WRX.
The Base and Premium Trim WRX's have the Halogen headlights and Fog lights, The Limited trim WRX's has the Steering Responsive LED headlights and LED fog lights.
I ordered mine in early august. Dealer gave me an update a couple weeks ago, Subaru gave us an October delivery window. Dealer said once we get closer to October Subaru should give us a more specific time window.
Have a 2016 sti which i daily drive to work and am trading it in for a 2021 wrx. Ive never hit the track, ive never used the variable diferential, 0-60 are practically identical, and its more fuel eficient. I will miss the big wing and the subie rumble though😪
Thanks for sharing! I'm sure you will still enjoy it! I've been in the STI and WRX and you'll feel a difference in power for sure and the clutch is a bit different, but still a great sedan!
With manuals not being on the road much, a lot of folks think they're played out. But for anybody who would want a manual at an affordable price, this would be the one to get! Was wondering if you've ever been to that barbecue restaurant across the street from there, looks like they might have some good food!
I like the wheel too. I find the shifter to be notchy, however, and the clutch to not leave much room for error if you are looking for a perfectly smooth shift. I’m coming from a Civic SI that I drove for 8 years, so maybe that has something to do with it. Plus, people can certainly have different opinions as to how a manual transmission feels.
I keep coming back to this 2021 and I can’t believe how Subaru screwed up so bad on the 2022. I would get the 2022 GT only if they drop the price to $25,000.
I like the overall car for the new 2022. But the black plastic on the outside has to go. Needs to be body colored. A basic Impreza I could see being $25k. But the WRX has never been that cheap. Sounds like a used one would suite you best
Recently got the premium 2021. The sti may be faster but the stock wrx is more than enough for legal street driving. I mean this thing gets to 90 kmh in second gear for goodness sake. I can’t even come close to hard driving in higher gears. Plenty of fun. Gear box is shit though
Is it common with having to surge at low rpms/neutral? Also, first gear from neutral is kinda harsh, you have to feather the gas pedal for it to move smoothly.
@@theblackmambaplague sadly yes. If you do buy one, just don’t buy a brand new one. Just go buy a pre owned certified one so you save money. The upgrades I personally strongly recommend is; shifter stop, shifter bushing, short throw shifter, weighted shift plate, weighted shift knob, Perrin sway bar links, better pads & rotors, better tires, Cobb accessport, pw verticooler, Perrin turbo inlet, Invidia turbo back exhaust and a pro tune. But If you want cheap & easy power then just get a accessport, E85 kit & a pro tune.
@@Sojhi I wanna buy one but I’m scared just because of blown engines and stuff ... I don’t drive like a maniac and this has been my dream car but I have a son and I cannot deal with unreliability ... but I’m thinking on just pulling the trigger ....
@@Getfixedbyme do it!!! It's so fun to drive and its super easy too. I've never drove a manual before in my life so this was a giant step for me. I couldn't be happier with this car tbh
@@Getfixedbyme Im in the same boat, just had a daughter now I’m downsizing from a Toyota Tundra to a wrx for the daily/ family car and getting an older pickup for yard work. Reliability is the number one factor and these subis are great as long as you don’t try adding a bunch of power to them. An intake, tune and maybe a cat back or a j pipe is as far as you’d want to take it if you want reliability and performance
Just bought mine right off the showroom floor. Had to trade my 04 in when the wife was pregnant with our first child. 10 years later I am finally back into one. Love it!
I'm not sure if the 2022 will be an all new car or not. So I would wait till we know. If there is a big price difference, the 2021 will probably be a great deal
I know right! It would be nice to see a major overhaul on the engine. I do know that they aren't very reliable with a ton of power so maybe that's why!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed In your opinion, would you say the clutch feels pretty good? In the video you briefly mention thr bite point but could you explain it a bit more in detail? I'm just a little nervous as this is my first standard transmission. Thanks!
Might be trading in my 2020 Si Coupe for a 2020 WRX STI. If the dealership can give me a good trade in value for the Si, I'm doing it. Really hoping I end up getting it. Dad and stepmom owned a WRX before (base model) and I absolutely loved driving it. Now excited to eventually own my own WRX. They're beautiful cars and I'm hoping to keep it for a long time if I get it. I'd keep the Si but the clutch is slipping bad in it and I don't really want to spend 1500-2000$ to fix it. Watching these videos is realle making me excited about possibly owning one.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I saw you saw my comment on another one of your videos but I ended up getting a base 2023 WRX. I love it. Maybe someday I'll end up getting a WRX STI but I like the one I have. The WRX's are a blast to drive. Best purchase of the year for me hands down.
As much as I love these cars, the only thing I never understood. the cheap flooring throughout the vehicle, That cheap felt is just horrible looking, and when the hatch opens up, you have to think you just spent over 30G's for felt flooring. I realize it's more about the power and how it handles, but honestly Subaru, just put in some decent carpeting .
At least you could cover that up with some nice floor mats, but I can see where you are coming from on that! Maybe that's how they can sell the WRX for less?!
Glad you enjoyed the Subaru review! It doesn't have rev matching happen for you, you have to do that! I would go with the WRX for the AWD and more power, but the civic is cool too!
I was perusing WRX videos and right up front you mentioned Randy Marion, I was like WHAAAT?? Dude, I'm just north in Winston Salem. I'm picking up a WRX STi at the end of the month, I'll drop a pic on your Facebook page. Keep up the awesome videos!
@@bubbygreen5844 bro I promise you , you will not be disappointed, this car looks amazing in silver I’m getting compliments non stop and I’m not even a big fan of silver cars
@@bevekdhungel9178 It will be worth the wait 😃 Have you had one before? What color you go with? I got lucky as this was one that they were expecting to get in anyways.
What about road noise (tires / wind) at 80mph ? I can read everywhere this is quite loud (and tiring for 1h+ trips), even with the 2018+ models, because there is barely no sound damping.
If you are worried about noise, the WRX/STI is not the car for you because you will hear every single drop of noise on the road..lol And turning up your music won't help because the stereo system sucks not unless you completely add foam insulation on the floor boards and get more powerful speakers and subwoofers.. lol
Power and torque of the 2021 Subaru WRX Premium is the same as the 2021 Volkswagen Arteon. Only except the Subaru WRX is a 2.0L turbocharged flat-four and the Volkswagen Arteon is a 2.0L turbocharged TSI inline-four
That's interesting! I wonder how the Subaru WRX and the Volkswagen would do in a pull lol! The Arteon weights so much more so it's probably not too quick.
The verdict is…the Subie is way more fun to drive! Plus I love how the seats aren’t so low to the ground. The SI is a great car though, too! What I love now is I can flip between Pandora, SIRIUS XM, Apple CarPlay, and my CD player…I really missed that CD player when I had the SI!
That's a tough one. If the used STI was completely stock and it didn't show signs that someone had modded it and put it back to stock to sell, that would be a good buy, but like the other comment, depends on the mods that were done too.
If you can find a good clean used one, it's worth it. But a lot of Subaru's get tuned and modded with some crazy numbers which makes them not as reliable!
Was goona get a truck but my brother just got a premium with the Sti short throw, I travel for work all over the United States just debating if I could sit in the car for 10+ hrs somedays, is the comfortability really that bad over long periods, i was only passengers in my brothers car for 10 minutes. But I need AWD
hmm, I wouldn't say it's the most comfortable car over that much time. Seats are a bit hard. If you need AWD check out an Audi. A nice S3 is much more comfortable and refined and the DCT is awesome to drive!
The only differences that I know of, the limited doesn't have a sunroof and some of the tech features are missing like blind spot or some other sensors! It's not a whole lot it's missing vs the premium!
My girl has a '19 crosstrek and that thing feels like a sh!tbox compared to the wrx. I know their completely two different cRs. BUT it's pretty bad ass when taking it off road ❤️ Too bad subi doesn't make a crosstrek with an FA20 in it That would be perfect.
Bought mine in April. I love it so much and so glad I got a 2021 I’m not a huge fan of the new one they just released lol 😂 well see what the sti looks like when it’s time to sell mine but literally just bought a 2021 a few months ago so I plan on driving it for a while 💪🏼
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I was trying to trade in my 2013 altima s. I only had 5,000 left to pay on it and they wouldn't give me 5,000. It blue booked for 8,000 at the time.
Not a good car to learn manual in. The clutch has zero forgiveness starting in 1st. I’ve know people that have a lot of manual experience that struggle
From my perspective I think it would be cool. Clutch doesnt have much feedback, so that could be a challenge. A Focus ST would be a good one to learn on
It’s funny. I was in the market for a used one. 2018 with 25k miles asking for $31000 from carmax. My local Subaru dealer asks $29500 for a new 2021 wrx premium. Used market is getting weird.
The bite point is when you can feel the car start to move letting the clutch out, it is pretty obvious because at that point if you don't give the car enough gas, you can stall.
@@dopemangotem7849 I never said anything about the CVT or automatic since this is a manual car. I’ve never seen an automatic WRX lol, but they make them.
To be fair, a lot of 2021 models still do that, but I'm sure that will change soon, but that's what keeps the price lower too, or at least one of the reasons.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed True but only probably like 10% have halogen lights, even low entry cars like the Toyota Corolla have standard LED. I would think the WRX Premium IS classified as a upper entry car. Otherwise, why call something premium when it's not. lol
You can't even see my feet in this video lol but I don't have my foot resting on the clutch when I drive, it's always close or ready to push when needed..
This carvwas by far my most regrettable decision to date. Slow, sucks to drive, sucks more to drive now, after shortblock replacement at 28 k because of anything but negligence on my side, turbo acts weird now with light throttle, makes very concerning noises upon turning on now, makes a sound similar to either lifter tick or knock that the dealer says isn't there. Enjoy, maybe you're luck will be better than others, I'm donevwith subaru, once and for all.
Sorry to hear about your experience! I've heard the stock cars can be reliable and once you start tuning them it can become more unreliable, but if yours is stock and having those issues, that is unfortunate. Hopefully you can get into something you can just drive and not worry about!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed not a subaru. Probably go back to my previous car, first focus se, was slow but enjoyed it much more. Wasn't until about 4 years later that I got sick of it at 235k miles.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I beat the ever-loving crap out of it. Hit a deer, drive year round I'm vermont, horrible roads, snow, mountainous terrain, and the engine was still running great, no leaking oil, no burning oil, good compression, and I need my motor overhauled on the wrx at about 1-9th of the miles, and didn't even beat on the wrx. Didn't buy it with intent to race, just wanted a quicker car with awd, and more sporty, but nothing serious. Shoulda stuck to my instincts.
Just showing the whole Subaru and what it has, I also mention right in the beginning the engine and all those specs before talking about the headlights.

Nice! Can't go wrong with the WRX!
What do you do for a living I want one
Love my 21 wrx base

Has it been reliable?
Thanks for this. I was lucky to find one in black in my area before its listing went up. Put my deposit this weekend. Currently being shipped and should be in by the end of the month.
Thats awesome! Always good to be able to buy a car before they list it.
Proud 19' owner here. Love how analog these cars are with some modern amenities
Also, muffler delete is a necessity!
Nice! These are really fun cars for sure!
yea man they sound great with exhaust systems! Love that boxer sound!
Accept it really isn't. Throttle input is laggy, tune makes car really lose power really early, rev hang is bad.
A good tune will increase power and throttle response. And hopefully can tune out any rev hang
That premium trim is truly a golden middle for WRX
For sure! Great car overall!

The Base and Premium Trim WRX's have the Halogen headlights and Fog lights, The Limited trim WRX's has the Steering Responsive LED headlights and LED fog lights.
That's a good point, I had just reviewed the Limited and was should have double checked that!
I was like….I don’t see led. Could tell it was halogen even in the day. Plus the limited have black bezel headlights.
I ordered mine in early august. Dealer gave me an update a couple weeks ago, Subaru gave us an October delivery window. Dealer said once we get closer to October Subaru should give us a more specific time window.

The verdict is…the Subie is way more fun to drive! Plus I love how the seats aren’t so low to the ground. The SI is a great car though, too! What I love now is I can flip between Pandora, SIRIUS XM, Apple CarPlay, and my CD player…I really missed that CD player when I had the SI!
Are you going to do a 2021 BRZ review?
If our dealer ever gets one for sure!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ok !
Great video bros 4 speed
Thanks for checking out the Subaru WRX review!!
Which cars have you heard of that aren’t sold in the United States? It can be any car.
Hmm, there are definitely a lot that I'm unfamiliar with simply because I don't see them!
next cop
What do you mean by that?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed he’s copping it bruh
The Subaru WRX It’s alright! I love your red shoes 👟
Lol thanks!! The Subaru WRX is a fun family sedan!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 😂! You welcome! The WRX is a good family car
Do you recommend I should get this
This trim is great, but I'm getting limited trim because it has nearby car detetection on the mirrors & GPS to track where your car is.
If you are in the market for a sedan with a manual sure! Definitely check them out in person and drive one to see how you like it!
There are a few more features on the limited for sure!! Either way it's a cool Subaru!
You're a Dr. get a Lambo.
Would you rather have this or a used WRX STi
This. I would never buy a used sti. I would hesitate to buy a used wrx as well. People thrash em.
@@ianholmquist8492 what cars do you think people beat on the most
That's a tough one. If the used STI was completely stock and it didn't show signs that someone had modded it and put it back to stock to sell, that would be a good buy, but like the other comment, depends on the mods that were done too.
If you can find a good clean used one, it's worth it. But a lot of Subaru's get tuned and modded with some crazy numbers which makes them not as reliable!
I would think just the way they drive them!
Here in Australia that has 297 hp . And dont know if u noticed that it doesn’t have sti badge
Wow that's a lot more then the 268 HP in this, that's getting up to the STI numbers!
Aussie HP and USA HP are calculated differently. So is torque.
I have an 18. Fun little car but desperately needs more power.
I could see that!! It's a lot of fun to drive and does have mod potentials!
I got mine last week and I f love it
Very nice! Congrats on the purchase, the WRX is a fun sedan!
I don't think there's a better choice
Can't go wrong with the WRX! Great car!
Was goona get a truck but my brother just got a premium with the Sti short throw, I travel for work all over the United States just debating if I could sit in the car for 10+ hrs somedays, is the comfortability really that bad over long periods, i was only passengers in my brothers car for 10 minutes. But I need AWD
hmm, I wouldn't say it's the most comfortable car over that much time. Seats are a bit hard. If you need AWD check out an Audi. A nice S3 is much more comfortable and refined and the DCT is awesome to drive!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you I will check it out
Hi, what different between premium and limited?
The only differences that I know of, the limited doesn't have a sunroof and some of the tech features are missing like blind spot or some other sensors! It's not a whole lot it's missing vs the premium!
Have you heard about the Subaru solterra full electric car
I have not yet! Is that model coming to the US?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I don’t know but you can look at it in the Subaru website
Beautiful Sports Car. Very Fast.
It's a sweet sporty sedan for sure! If you want the power though, go with the STI! The WRX isn't crazy fast!
Should’ve got this over crosstrek
The WRX is a lot of fun for sure!
My girl has a '19 crosstrek and that thing feels like a sh!tbox compared to the wrx. I know their completely two different cRs. BUT it's pretty bad ass when taking it off road ❤️ Too bad subi doesn't make a crosstrek with an FA20 in it That would be perfect.
Bought mine in April. I love it so much and so glad I got a 2021 I’m not a huge fan of the new one they just released lol 😂 well see what the sti looks like when it’s time to sell mine but literally just bought a 2021 a few months ago so I plan on driving it for a while 💪🏼
Very cool!! Yeah I'm not too excited about the new design either, but haven't seen it in person yet, so hopefully soon!
Same here, got my spec. out WRX Premium on June this year...
I wanted one bad in 2020, but subaru wouldn't work with me at all on my trade in.
Oh wow! What kind of car were you trying to trade for this Subaru!?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I was trying to trade in my 2013 altima s. I only had 5,000 left to pay on it and they wouldn't give me 5,000. It blue booked for 8,000 at the time.
If that is leather then you must have been reviewing the limited model not the premium.
For the seats!? You can hear me at 4:25 say they are two tone cloth seats!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ah sorry. Definitely missed hearing you say that. My apologies.
2 week for my subaru im so exsited
Very exciting!!! You'll definitely enjoy this Subaru!
Not a good car to learn manual in. The clutch has zero forgiveness starting in 1st. I’ve know people that have a lot of manual experience that struggle
From my perspective I think it would be cool. Clutch doesnt have much feedback, so that could be a challenge. A Focus ST would be a good one to learn on
Do u like it over q50
I've never been in the Q50. So I really cant say
@@BrosFOURRSpeed what do u prefer like with your knowlege
Looks like all the other year wrx’s. Save your self the money and get a used low mileage 2018 or 2019
I would agree with that! I think Subaru has some big changes coming for the 2022 year model so that will be exciting to see!
For the wrx you don't save alot of money buy used. Like I see 2016 for sale with 60k miles for 25k.
It’s funny. I was in the market for a used one. 2018 with 25k miles asking for $31000 from carmax. My local Subaru dealer asks $29500 for a new 2021 wrx premium. Used market is getting weird.
Used subies in low miles is hard af to find. I’ve been looking for a week for an older one with decent miles but they r all 50k minimum
I couldn’t feel the bite point in mine
The bite point is when you can feel the car start to move letting the clutch out, it is pretty obvious because at that point if you don't give the car enough gas, you can stall.
Those light bulbs need to be swapped immediately can’t stand halogen bulbs in 2021 we should be using led’s bulbs🤦🏻
A lot of companies still do that and I would guess because it's cheaper, but LED's are the way to go!
This or gti?
Tough one. If you need the space go for the hatch! Both are really good tho!
It sounds like you’re asking a question after every sentence
Hmm, I don't see that, but something I can work on..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed it sounds fine to me.
Why do I not show the engine? Can’t parts name? 🥸
That would be nice. The turbo engine packs a nice punch tho
I like q50
I've never driven the Q50. But those look really cool!
is Like a Toyota Camry
In what way?
@@ianholmquist8492 B R U H
This Subaru is smaller than the Camry. It’s more like a Toyota Corolla.
@@DaveDVideoMaker oops
Cos the WRX and Corolla are compact cars. The Camry is a mid size car.
Halogen lights for a "Premium" thats embarassing.
The premium is the mid trim level WRX. I think the Limited will get the LED lights
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Understood. But subaru is way behind if their premium trim level doesnt come with led headlights.
Wait I thought it was automatic
This Subaru WRX was a manual, I mentioned that a 0:33 seconds! and then again at 8:00!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed well maybe u should mentioned that the cvt is the automatic so people like me don't waste time watchn
@@dopemangotem7849 I never said anything about the CVT or automatic since this is a manual car. I’ve never seen an automatic WRX lol, but they make them.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed definitely what I would have expected from a manual driver lmao
Selling my 2017 WRX. Lmk if anybody is interested. San diego
Now is the time to sell if it's still available. Can make bank on used cars now!
She sold pretty quick
@@taylorsebring998 I bet! Just sold my Supra in 1 month with a ton of mods for a premium. Good time to sell!
2021 car still running halogen lights..lol
To be fair, a lot of 2021 models still do that, but I'm sure that will change soon, but that's what keeps the price lower too, or at least one of the reasons.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed True but only probably like 10% have halogen lights, even low entry cars like the Toyota Corolla have standard LED. I would think the WRX Premium IS classified as a upper entry car. Otherwise, why call something premium when it's not. lol
has foot resting on clutch lol
You can't even see my feet in this video lol but I don't have my foot resting on the clutch when I drive, it's always close or ready to push when needed..
This carvwas by far my most regrettable decision to date. Slow, sucks to drive, sucks more to drive now, after shortblock replacement at 28 k because of anything but negligence on my side, turbo acts weird now with light throttle, makes very concerning noises upon turning on now, makes a sound similar to either lifter tick or knock that the dealer says isn't there. Enjoy, maybe you're luck will be better than others, I'm donevwith subaru, once and for all.
Sorry to hear about your experience! I've heard the stock cars can be reliable and once you start tuning them it can become more unreliable, but if yours is stock and having those issues, that is unfortunate. Hopefully you can get into something you can just drive and not worry about!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed not a subaru. Probably go back to my previous car, first focus se, was slow but enjoyed it much more. Wasn't until about 4 years later that I got sick of it at 235k miles.
Oh wow, yeah the Focus is a cool car as well! That's a lot of miles for one!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I beat the ever-loving crap out of it. Hit a deer, drive year round I'm vermont, horrible roads, snow, mountainous terrain, and the engine was still running great, no leaking oil, no burning oil, good compression, and I need my motor overhauled on the wrx at about 1-9th of the miles, and didn't even beat on the wrx. Didn't buy it with intent to race, just wanted a quicker car with awd, and more sporty, but nothing serious. Shoulda stuck to my instincts.
Thats nice to hear! Some are certainly bullitt proof
Subarus are nothing but garbage I highly recommend not bad!!!
I'm guessing you didn't like the Subarus you've owned?
you got a booger on your upper lip
That's a little bit of tissue lol, didn't see that at first.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed LOL
Arm rest sucks
That depends on the person lol!

Thanks for checking out the Subaru WRX review!!
Who the f**k cares about the headlights? Show me the engine.
Just showing the whole Subaru and what it has, I also mention right in the beginning the engine and all those specs before talking about the headlights.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I was just kidding m8. Having some fun in the comment section.
Love the review.
@@game-f-un-limitedgamer8958 Ahh, guess I didn’t get it lol!
