WRX TR review: • 2024 WRX TR Review // ...
The Subaru WRX TS is replacing the Subaru WRX TR. I cant believe it! I had a feeling that Subaru was going to do this since the TR never had a badge and it was definitely a hard sell. Hopefully the TS is received better by the community.

We're just missing the "i" and we'll have ourselves the STi 😂😂😂
Imagine if they made something called the TSi
Making a reference to the Chrysler Conquest and the Eagle Talon from the 90's lol
Idk why subaru cant get it together for its enthusiasts. Ask any respectable STI owner what they wanna see in a new wrx. Subarus is lucky they have a fan base that can give them direction but they never seem to take a hint.
Hate to break it to you, but most STi owners can't afford the car "they wanna see." Manufacturers shoot themselves in the foot every time they listen too much. People ask for all this crap and then complain when the thing costs twice as much as it did 20 years ago. Then everyone decides they'll just wait till it hits the used market and the car gets killed off after a short run. Happened to the Focus RS and TTRS. Currently happening to the manual Supra and Z. Why do you think Honda won't realase an AWD type R despite people begging for one? Believe it or not, these billon dollar companies know exactly what they're doing. Now, if you want me to get into why we don't have a hatchback wrx in the States, that's a different story, but I know their reasoning and it makes perfect sense.
@@rawevoli100%! The new WRX is selling well and to be honest, Subaru is listening! The new TR got brembos, and better suspension for the track, they fixed the blinker stalk and they put recaros in the manual. These are all things people asked for! STi is just a name at this point because my ‘24 TR is a better car than my STi ever was!
The STI can’t meet EPA requirements that’s why the new VB has 0W-20 and a restricted transmission/engine. Even the crosstrek and Impreza is using 0W-16 now to meet EPA. By law manufacturers have to have a cross-fleet MPG average of 40-45MPG which is why every manufacturer has at least 1 electric and 1 hybrid to factor in their MPG.
@Matithias Sure, the 30 year old EJ couldn't meet new EPA standards. Do you really think subaru couldn't build a high output engine that would meet requirements like every other manufacturer? Of course they could. The problem is if their consumers could afford it.
@@rawevolisure. Id live to hear why we dont have a wrx hatch anymore. My theory is just that hatchbacks dont sell as well in the US and hot hatches are a very aquired taste for americans. All of my non-car guy friends say they dont like the look of hatchbacks
Thanks for not making your videos 30 min to an hour like most people with filler junk. Str8 to the point no BS! thank you
Good synopsis. Audio was fine. Keep the info coming!
I just don’t understand why they made the TR trim for one model year just to replace it.
Why not just make the tS starting in 2024 or not make the TR at all
I think maybe it just wasn't ready? Or they were waiting on approvals or something? I have been working HARD to get someone from Subaru on my channel so I can ask these questions.
I think TR stays
Audio is just fine my friend! I just don't know if the increased price is worth it without a noticeable bump in power. Thanks for the video!
Now we wait for pricing. I'm definitely not going to be able to afford it, but trading in my current VB would be tempting
I am plan on purchasing a tS next year. Purchased a 2024 outback wilderness for my wife last September and I fell in love with Subaru. Nissan used to be my favorite but I can’t fit my family in a Z and maxima went boomer!
Gotta love a turbo wagon
Audio sounds clear. 👍🏼
I should have waited a few more months😂😂
Sameee
I am tempted to sell my VA for a TS but IDK
Picked up a '24 premium with the HK audio and a moonroof in Solar Orange Pear. My first Subaru. I absolutely love it! Just put on an MBRP axle-back, and really that is all I need.
I got it on sale, and it was only $1k over a base in price!
also in the day where you can order a car, why isn't the STI transmission just an option you can order from the factory
shit does not make sense. I would much rather pay 5-6k for the transmission over the moonroof + sound system for 3k. seriously.
The WRX tS has adaptive suspension system similar to the WRX GT.
I have a base 23 vb… I don’t need the suspension thing. I’m happy, got it for 30k flat
@@longshanks5531oh, ok
@@longshanks5531 ok cool. I personally want the adaptive suspension
Audio sounds fine
So if you get a TR and it’s a 1 year model, would it be more valuable later on ?
Blue on the seats and stuff is pretty cool. Nice car.
Im not gonna replace my 22 but do you think the TR steering can be modified into one? Is it simply a motor to replace?
From what I’ve seen, stock on the dyno, the VB is 300hp and 290lbs at the crank.
The interior is more tasteful in the TR but most of us are suckers for nostalgia and I wish the bright blue made it to the carpet . Just throw a sti trans in from the factory too easy!
I just hope the digital dash can be bought and installed on lower trims
Is Subaru warming us with the ts to an eventual release of a Sti in the future?
I actually like this upgrade. Its basically the jdm version of the Top trim wrx, but with a manual
Now they just need a mid-gen refresh for that atrocious rear bumper cover
Audio level is good. Sounds a little muffled though. Could use more high end frequencies.
I record in my unfinished basement. The audio is usually colored with extra natural reverb. That's probably what you're hearing. I've been considering getting divider walls to help with sound reflection.
@@HeavyMetalWRX Naaa that lav is not gonna pick up much room verb at all. It just sounds like the top end is rolled off a little.
do you think the other trim models will get any changes for the 2025 year?
They will not. I have heard rumors of a possible facelift of some kind in 2026 but it's just rumors for now.
Personally like the TR interior better. Nostalgia and that blue only goes so far when you're a few years into owning a car imo.
Still happy to be ordering a tr, now it will be rare 😅
Love the STi pricing on these new WRX .. /s
STI pricing is of the last. No STI will be coming out for 40k. Remember when sex were 26k? Everything's just gotten more expensive.
@@HeavyMetalWRX yeah I pai about 29 OTD for mine back in the day. IF the STi returns it'll most likely be low 50k minimum starting. But for that much you could get a 'better' car.
GT will be it own model eventually and as a hybrid that my guess
$40k plus for this? No STi power not worth it to me.
IF/WHEN the STi returns it'll probably be out of price range for people interested in it. And if not, you can get more car for the same amount of cash.
Sunroof is so nice tho couldn’t imagine not having one
they suck for enthusiasts. less headroom for helmets, more weight, less structural rigidity... leaks and problems down the road......
One of the primary reasons I'm good with my limited. None of these new trims have given me an ounce of regret.
I don’t understand why the TR can’t just get an Sti 6speed and they charge us more money for it lol.
It’s got everything the STI needs besides the trans. Yes maybe a larger stock turbo/tune would help but we can do that all ourselves. But STILL. We just need the trans!!! This is coming from someone who already bought a 6speed 😂
are you planning to upgrade to the ts?
I am not. If I didn't have a WRX I would strongly consider it.
I don’t think the TR got a steering wheel change. The power steering was retuned. And I’m pretty sure it’s been retuned for a trims for 2024, not just the TR. One that happens, it’s unnecessary to announce updated power steering tuning for follow on model years. In fact it would be incorrect and misleading.
Seems like a blunder on Subaru's part to jave the TR for one year and replace it. Or maybe the Ts will only be one year and we'll get a special model with more options in 2026?
where is sti transmission subaru
aaaaaaa
Watch out the TR is gonna become a rare collectible in 2044 lol
shoulda also add the sti oem exhaust , front lip back lip side lip and wheel all that STI stuff if they want the name stand for TUNED BY STI...but I guess the price gonna be adding more 10000-15000 which thats why they won't do it hahahah. just leave it to the buyer to want to pay more, smart choice
That was quite short lived with the tr
what is Subaru doing? one trim for one year, and then change it to a TS. i bet they themselves don't even have a road map for the VB.
Cool, another nice new car the working middle class can’t afford 😐
??? It’s absolutely affordable for anyone!
So... for 2026, tS gets canceled, and we will get... TT?
Kinda wish they would keep the TR's lack of adaptive suspension for those who plan on gutting the suspension and put on the coilovers, and keep the prices down. But my take on tS is that Subaru is learning... but they sure ain't implementing changes fast enough.
With Supra's departure coming sooner than expected, I am watching closely on Subaru's moves. I can buy either car right now, but neither one is exactly what I want. It's either the last of the mk. 5 Supra for me, or Subaru, please give me a damn STi already. I don't care if it's 60k, and even that sounds reasonable at this point, before the dawn of hybridization.
Like i said before on your video, Toyota may barely pull off the hybrid powertrain with manual. With Subaru, I sincerely doubt that. For them its either full EV or hybrid cvt, and how the hell they expect people to buy into a new STi moniker with that setup when they botched VB gen so badly with packaging and offerings? The VB was developed with the intent of creating STi, and it shows.
Please get somebody from Subaru, even if you have to kidnap that person, and we want answers.
I think we talked about this. There's over a dozen manual hybrid cars around the world. It's not a difficult task. It's just there's not much of a market for people who want both so it doesn't happen often. If Subaru legit goes hybrid power with the STI it'll be a manual, no doubt.
@HeavyMetalWRX I mean... that would be nice, I would not mind hybrid STi if they do pull it off with manual transmission and all the past sins(?!) will be forgiven in my book, but... it's that credibility with Subaru. It's just far too radical to think that Subaru can even pull that off. They are... a very conservative company when it comes to engineering, and tend to slowly build and learn what they want to do, and go all out at it. That built their character up to now, but it seems... missing the marks? Is this 2010s all over again?
Man, please please find somebody from SoA or from Japan and hope you nail an interview for a livestream. I got so many questions to ask!
Edit/Add: if it comes down to it and no further development may come, tS is still a very enticing choice for me and I am looking forward for it. Been wondering when that digital screen would come Stateside when I first saw them on JDM Levorgs back in 2022. Gave off a very Audi-ish vibe but more familiar feeling.
Like I said in your previous video. Derp.
No hope anymore.
From TR to TS...pretty much all BS really 😅
😂
Dang it wanted to be first ! lol
