Hoping Subaru does a mid-model refresh on this disaster. There is so much wrong with the design at every angle.
They’re even worse in person. The cars are not well-received, still, and they’re sitting on the lots. Horrible, Subaru/Toyota. |

They are absolutely fantastic on rain, ice and snow. It goes like a tank with them, we are thrilled with these tires.. |

On a nationwide basis maybe you can find dealerships that have them on the lot but most people are ordering them and waiting months. I waited 2 months for mine to be delivered. There are 6 Subaru dealerships in the Pittsburgh area. The only WRXs in stock were GT models with CVT transmissions. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You do realize that the next STI will an EV? I doubt it will be an EV. It will most likely be a Hybrid to compete in the WRC against Hyundai i20. And even then I believe they’ll do an FA24 STi in the states and do another 2.0 in Japan for at least one last run. |

They stole the tail lights from Honda.
Why isn’t it at least 300hp? The decisions they made on this are just so strange. I hope you can tune it to your liking though. |

Subaru half-assed it to leave themselves room for a few no effort product refreshes before they're forced to go all electric. Motor is taken from the Ascent and detuned down to 12psi boost. |

To be fair to the OP and the WRX, the aesthetic issues with the WRX pale in comparison to whatever the fuck Subaru has done with the new Legacy. I think they stuck the Outback Wilderness front end on it or something.

That extra room would have been their EZ STI button. |

Changing the oil was easy, but getting old and nerve damage made me get rid of my WRX Limited. I do miss having a car with a stick but the old body is telling me automatics are my forever transmission.
I did manage to sell it before gas went nuts and will say I'm glad not to be paying the .60 extra for premium gas. |

The 41yr old me went IS500 as a DD and either an M3 or M2 manual (for track) when BMW calls me back with an allocation. If I was 25yrs old right now, I'd go GTI for this price range. Or a used IS350/340i. Faster/much better looking.  Attached File Attached File |
