I can’t help but feel Subaru sandbagged the WRX to keep room for the STI. The reality is that most people buy the WRX as a fun daily driver, so fingers crossed the STI turns the dial to 11 for us more performance/track-oriented folk. The chassis improvements are very welcome though - that’s not something easily alleviated in the aftermarket (barring weld-in bracing and cages).
Not a car I would buy at age 69, but great to hear you guys talk about it. I love the informal conversational tone. I feel like I'm sitting at a bar listening to three guys "Talking Cars"!
I got one at 67. Had a 2016 from 2017 through 2023. The new WRX is much better than the VA chassis. This is my daily. The weekend car is a 2019 Bullitt.
To say there isnt much difference to last gen is not accurate. I've driven both and this newest gen is better in every way and has resolved many of the issues that kept me from buying the last gen. It has less road noise, better ride quality, and wayy better driveability. You can actually shift this smoothly and the shifter has shorter crisper throws to the point where you don't really need the short throw shifter pkg. These guys aren't paying attention or need their memory re-freshed.
I had the 2020 sti, now have the 2022 wrx and it's 100% better than the sti.or va wrx..The 2022 wrx is actually pretty quick, beats the wrx and sti. I don't know what car they were driving , maybe they used 87 octane, but the new wrx is so much better than the VA
I have watched all of the new 2022 WRX reviews on TH-cam and this is by the oddest collection of comments. Bad ride, slow, gearing too short, slow steering, etc etc. So much negative conversation with a low level of energy. The whole discussion was very somber like they don’t like their jobs.
I only drove FWD cars for more than 20 years before I bought a used i3 (it's a RWD EV). I thought it would be a big change, but I agree with Alex that it doesn't really make a big difference due to modern traction control systems and such. I often forget that my car is RWD. I use winter tires (in the winter) and I've had no issues in snow.
Joe I hear you in regards to modern traction control but nothing can compare to full time awd. Light rain will ruin a fun time time on the street with any 2 wheel drive car, especially if you don’t have a differential. Cutting power is a common concern that traction control introduces during acceleration and turning. Even in the dry, the feeling of thrust from all for corners is unique just like any other drivetrain configuration. The wrx will always be regarded until someone can replicate its traction mastery.
I think the new WRX looks much better than what they’ve had for the past 10 years. I like the rugged off road style. More wheel travel is great, that might be why it’s a little stiffer to keep the on road handling. 8 speed automatic is definitely the way to go with these modern turbo motors. I have a Clubman and it’s a great combo.
Subaru needs to bring back the five door WRX. I had to replace mine with a Forester XT. Then Subaru discontinued that as well. Now they have nothing in the lineup I find even remotely interesting. They had the potential with their upcoming BEV to be a torque monster, but it has specs out of 2018. The Solterra has nowhere near enough power, speed, or range to be competitive or replace the old five door WRX or Forester XT
Anyone notice that every single picture of the “new” WRX for TH-cam videos shows this car from the front 3/4 view? That’s because its UGLY from every other angle.
@@f181234 as an owner of a 1998 GF8 WRX here in Australia, your statement is not correct........ There was a wagon available in the early days, not sure if you're American or not but the WRX world existed well before 2002......
I have always loved the "bang for the buck" of the WRX and that is why I bought one in 2015. Looking at the new one I am disappointed in a few things. First the suspension still being stiff is one of my biggest gripes with mine so the new one does not sound like an improvement. Second the soundproofing has not been improved making long trips more fatiguing. And of course like many people the extensive black plastic is a visual turn off. I guess I have outgrown the WRX. I just don't know what I could buy to eventually replace mine!
I made my Buick ride stiff with new polyurethane engine mount and transmission mount. Also 4 each, new shocks (a/c deldo struts) super stiff tires ( out of date code) Maybe some softer struts on a new WRX / sti will make it quieter on hwy expansion bumps $$$$?
I have to disagree, I traded my much loved 2015 WRX for the new top spec manual WRX, it is a better car in every possible way. The suspension is way stiffer, yet much more comfortable as is the soundproofing. I’m in Australia, but I’d have thought they’re building them the same regardless of destination
The new price hike is only a small jump compared to other cars from other manufacturers who jacked it up quite a lot. So with inflation i mind and supply and demand etc, it is not really that bad for the new WRX and soon to be STI reveal.
My 2¢, the suspension is not uncomfortably stiff. I live in Seattle (our roads are terrible lol) and just bought a 2022 WRX. It is firm but if you live somewhere that doesn’t have the worst roads ever, it’s not bad. My previous car had a stiffer ride than this WRX.
Okay, so the whole "too stiff" suspension comment has me thinking. Basically all the reviewers have this same complaint. Along with hating the plastic body cladding. And not being a fan of the new infotainment set-up. Add in the "give me back the hatchback" crowd, and I'm wondering if getting an Impreza with some available STi accessories, like the short-shifter, and the strut-tower brace is actually a better way to get a sporty, reasonably priced AWD daily driver? The Impreza still has the older dash style with big manual HVAC controls and a smaller screen. MSRP $20,939!
If you're fine with slower acceleration, the 5-door Impreza Sport is a good looking, fun car. The Sport interior looks nicer than the WRX's interior, IMHO. If Subaru put the BRZ powerplant in the Impreza Sport, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. As far as a WRX wagon, that was easier to do when the WRX was just a performance package added to the Impreza. Now that it has been made a standalone model, it would be expensive to develop a wagon too. I wish Subaru had made the 22 a liftback design, thus blending the sedan looks with some wagon practicality.
@@icemantuck2638they make a WRX hatch today - it’s called a WRX Wagon, but not selling it in the US market. Australia has it, but it only comes with the CVT.
Yeah - no. The WRX is a totally different beast. Impreza is great as is the Crosstrek. The WRX as a package is very different as a package. You can mod up an Impreza and will have a modded Impreza, not a WRX.
I agree, 2x a week would be great for all the car geeks as well as the non car geeks like me. Your exposure would would expand to more of the car shopping public as soon as there are actual cars on the lots.
Interesting insights into this new car with the Subaru global platform chassis. I think its an interesting car and a long term test would show you what it's like to have a performance daily driver that can do so much in all weather conditions. When you do a long term test of this vehicle I would definitely test different sidewall aspect ratios (tire thickness) because it seems that the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT600A with the 40 aspect ratio is too low and transfers a lot of that rebound damping into the chassis. Perhaps a 45/50/55 or even a 60 (SUV and truck territory) aspect ratio would work better for overall ride quality.
Electric Cars and Rear Wheel Drive: I would not want to go back to rear wheel drive in snow country where I live. When I had a rear wheel drive, I was frequently getting stuck, even with snow tires. With front and all wheel, it was not a problem.
Are you mounting four winter tires? We run dedicated tires in the cold weather here in NH; Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 non studded on their own rims. Never an issue.
That's because the engine was over the front wheels. With EVs, the battery tends to be spread over the bottom of the car, and with the motor(s) in back, weight distribution will be just as good for rear wheel drivers.
A used Lexus Ls600hl is cheaper, quicker, quieter, smoother, better fuel economy, more reliable ( the best actually), more luxurious. You really do have to be young ( & dum.b) to prefer the WRX.
While Subaru's choice to keep the black plastic cladding unpainted is debatable, it's unlikely they chose to do so to save money. More likely it's an intentional styling decision to break up the visual bulk from the profile. It would have been less costly just to engineer the body and fender stampings all the way to the wheel well edge and use basic inner well lining. Then they wouldn't have to bother engineering 3D plastic cladding, working out the logistics of said cladding with a supplier, and bear the associated costs.

Agree. Love it or hate it, people aren't going to be confusing the new WRX for anything but a WRX. When the VA model came out, it blended in with other makes if you didn't notice the hood scoop.
Ya but, according to Subaru's website, it has throttle override--if brake is pressed simultaneously with gas, brake overrides throttle and kills power. I thought that alone was a little silly, but possibly able to turn it off somehow or disconnect the sensors used for the system to work. Get the base model and change the suspension to softer. Softer is better for a road car anyway.The other problem with the touch screen is the snow in Philly. I can't use that crap with winter gloves on. Just put a giant dial on it. damn.
I love the driving experience of the Sti. I was thinking to my self for the price its really worth the money. Would have been nice if it had a family friendly suspension.
3x owner, outside the demographic in age…super fun car but Subaru must have a half assing department because you can summarize the brand with that one term. With the pricing now…it continues to lose its value.
Great video, u guys definitely made me feel better about pulling the trigger on 2021 wrx… seems like Subaru didn’t really improve anything and arguably made an uglier car for 2022.
The same thing is happening with cell phones, so it's not unique. I bought a 2020 model because they had dumbed-down the 2021, and I couldn't be happier. Apparently Subaru is seeking improved profits at the cost of the customers.
Recently caught a nail in my model Y. It was never a problem in Highlander - stop by at a tire shop, get it fixed. Called four places in south jersey and no one dared to fix it. The excuse? Either don't have a lift to handle the car or don't know how to do it. Finally, contacted my go to repair shop in central Jersey where I was told that I might need a new tire because Tesla's tires have special foam inserts and if that insert is damaged - tire is not repairable. So, $350 later I have my flat fixed and lesson learned - think twice before going for a longer trip. What if it happened in a rural area? Stuck for days?!
These three reviewers, together, will finally get me interested in watching CR's "Talking Cars" videos. The others drive me away. As far as suspension compliance, I recall one year in which Subaru made the WRX suspension much too soft, heard all the criticism, and rectified the problem for the next model year. They should do the same, here, for this too-stiff ride.

True, the top end WRX GT is the only one with adaptive suspension and Recaro seats. I'd be curious to hear if that fixed their suspension/ride quality complaints? Of course the GT, the one with the best suspension, is NOT available with the manual transmission. And it costs $42,890 which seems like a TON of money for a WRX. I'm just not sure this car at that price point, actually makes sense for anyone. You are basically in Golf R price territory at that point. Or even STi. Who exactly is going to spend $43K on a WRX and not the STi?
Buttons/knobs/dials beat touch screen EVERY FUCKING TIME... Why can't car brands get that through their thick skulls...
I agree, but many people like the nonsensical touch screens - it’s a market thing - they got that through their thick heads. It’s called revenue
