- Checking out the 2024 Subaru WRX Base. New features, a new infotainment system and safety equipment improves the entry point into the WRX family, but is it the trim to pick?
Huge thank you to Subaru of Wakefield for letting me have some time with the 2024 Subaru WRX.

That screen looks super reflective…
i have a '23 magnetite grey premium. i would have preferred the base, but it was the last '23 they had. I prefer key start, no moon roof, and meatier rubber.
In Canada the base trim still has the silly 7” twin screens but our base has heated seats and wheel.
I have a premium 23 as well. If the 23 had the updated screen, it would’ve been a tougher choice for sure.
Like my '22 Premium, the CBS color on this vehicle is the best-looking choice. Nice that they upgraded the touch screen on the base.
That screen changes the game for me. It's the main reason I did not want the base in the past. Now that it's full, I might need to find one of these
Thank you, that's a great review! It's a great deal if you want a manual especially. However, if you want an automatic, it comes very close to Elantra N DCT which offers more HP and Torque. However, if you want an AWD, this is a great choice. I wish they offered an automatic in the base trim. Not to mention hatchbacks are better than sedans. I'm not sure why Subaru only offers WRX as a sedan.
Just a brief correction, the 2022 Base still had auto high beam assist on the manual even without the eyesight. Otherwise great review!
I snapped up a 22 manual premium and love it. I wanted to get one before they added eyesight!
How come?
@@Rubensito Because the eyesight is this huge black box that sits in the middle of the windshield behind the rear-view mirror and makes the cabin feel claustrophobic and blocks your views. Such a dumb design.
I actually prefer a twisting key over the push button start. Push button start has given me a laundry list of problems over the years :(
it just feels right
Stop buying Mitsubishi junk lol
@CollinMac96 my push button start car isn't Mitsubishi lol
Do you know if they tightened the steering ? I tried one and it seemed tighter than 2022 model.
I know they retuned the suspension and steering for the TR, but I don't think the other trims received the same attention.
How's the brake feel by the way? I heard brake master cylinder changed for 2024.
I noticed slightly more pressure to the brake pedal compared to my WRX. Can’t say it’s a huge improvement but anecdotally provides a bit more confidence when braking.
@@mike_cerra Understood. Thank you for the information.
The 2024 WRX Base in Canada still has the dual 7' display.
In Canada you pay MUCH less then America be happy. Don't believe me do the conversion rate you'll laugh
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks About $41k CAN all in (prep & taxes included) for a base 2024 with no options (but now with EyeSight included and a few other things like heated mirrors). That's about $30k US.
@@user-rm5ww5hx9y used be $24k usd for base just msrp no tax or extras
Hi ,I just recently bought a new 24 vb wrx ,it had 11km on the odometer,,,drove it home from dealership around 10km in reasonably good traffic stop n go at lights,,,got home and all of a sudden fair bit off smoke came from under the hood ,,,retailer said it was normal break in ,,,however I'm still concerned about what that was initially,,,there has been no other time smoke has come out ,,,would appreciate anybody's help out there thank you ,also I'm in australia if that makes any difference
Did they rust proof the car? I could see rust protection getting heated up and burning, definitely not normal though
I test drove a 2024 before ordering my Premium and it still had the non-locking turn signal stalk.
If it’s gone, it’s gone. Could easily be some factory oil-based sealing on some parts that burned off, etc…….
I just got a 24 premium. Previous wrx I have owned- 2018 premium 2020 sti 2021 base. 24 is my favorite by far
17s and no heated seats kill it. Get the premium
manual.
That horrible looking touchscreen ruins it for me
The dual looks better !
Nah I actually love mine shit looks like a tablet
Then buy a base 22 or 23
Yeh agreed. Test drove one last week in the late arvo. Sun bouncing right off it into my eyes was killer. Crazily it’s the thing holding me back from buying as it triggered a migraine. Wonder if there are any anti glare solutions.
