2024 Subaru WRX TR Pricing Announced | Yikes.... 

Lol. What’s funny is everyone was complaining about 48k. Now people are complaining about 42k? Just goes to show that people will crap on everything no matter what. That being said look at its competition. GR Corolla? Poverty spec interior with mark ups. Golf R? Even more mark ups. Civic type R? Good fucking luck. None of the WRX’ competition is readily available or available at msrp. So that leaves the WRX which despite its price increase is still one of the best bang for buck vehicles you can get. The TR trim isn’t the what I would say you get the most money for that would be the premium with the 6MT. Don’t bother trying to say oh but I can buy a base and buy the stuff the TR has and add it on myself. Sure but then guess what? Those parts are going to be mostly used and total up to 40k( HeavyMetalWRX has done some simple math that shows this ) so you’re right at the price point of a TR. People are genuinely delusional and out of their minds expecting everything to be cheap and not priced accordingly. The economy and inflation has come a long way since the days of STIs being 35-36k brand new.

At 48k, it was a no-go. At 42k, it's much more feasible. It's an part swap, reinforced, and upgraded Limited (which starts at 40k.) For someone looking for a VB with minor aftermarket mods needed, the TR is a great choice.

The enthusiast knows that the best trim level to get is the base or premium. Limited and higher trim levels are pushing the price too much imo

Compaining about not getting an sti transmission or even an upgraded transmission in general is like wanting to make a 600+ horsepower build and complaining Subaru didn't add supporting internals to handle the power. For what the car makes stock it's more then adequate and then some. Also, yes the sti being about $42,000 for the limited is the same price.. that was in 2021 add inflation to that and it would be over $49,000. If you add the price of the upgrades you aren't going to be too far off the price if you were to add all that to the base, a set of 6/2 pot brembos is more then half that alone plus everything will be under factory warrenty. Adding more power to a factory car means more then just adding power parts and tuning, the car needs to stay reliable which means the transmission which was fine for 271hp now might not be after thousands of miles and bigger brakes to handle more. And of corse eyesight is going to add more to the price. The wrx at the end of the day isn't a niche super car or anything like that, it's still a car for the masses and Subaru still wants to keep it a safe car and if the cameras can safe atleast one life, isn't that worth it? If you want a wrx without eyesight and the price increase, buy one now. If you want a new one after the 2024's come out the vb is probably going to be the last wrx as the plan is already set to discontinue the wrx like the sti in the future atleast as a solely gas powered car.

I’m just gonna buy the base model

-You're still spending 44,000 to 45,000 out the door, just to have Recaro's, a Manual Eyesight System, Brembo's, and Non Special/Non Forged - Stamped 19in wheels, Thats Substantial. I just talked to someone that ordered one through our local dealer. It was $44,010 on the sub-total, not including warranty. Considering a 2021 STI starting at 38,000 (in 2021) would see a market adjustment, to this exact price (sti suspension, sti trans, 315hp, DCCD, Brembo's, Partnership wheels like BBS/RAYS). -Paying the starting price of what a Higher Performing car (imaginary $43-44k Premium 24' STI with cloth Seats and Eyesight for Reality purposes) for a Underperforming model (24 TR Recaros, Brembos, Manual Eyesight) that keeps the same IRL road numbers as the Base $33k trim (for 2024), Is in my opinion going backward dollar per value for investment. -You can easily get into a GR Corolla -Which the key figure here is your "Starting Warranty-Backed Power" that you get to the wheel, for around $42-43k for a Core currently in CA. It makes the 2021 STI a Better value for dollar in terms of what you get mechanically/performance, especially with a Real World market adjustment of basically ~$44,000 for a Premium 2024 STI with cloth seats, 11.6in screen, brembos, Sti trans/Dccd, 320ish horsepower out of the 2.4liter, sti unique wheels and included eyesight. We already know the engine with a simple intake change and proper tested tune, can easily make the power at crank safely. So cost isn't the issue. Its the EPA and their scoring system jumping ahead of what the world infrastructure - Citizen buying power is capable of obtaining simply out of sheer cost of what needs to be fixed before supplying the services, the Power Grid, and Battery Technology as a whole. Which is why Toyota is leap frogging it and going for Hydrogen power, as to opt to Not rely on China for major battery components. But again, companies get stifled by rules set by what they're allowed to sell. "Spend more money to meet this standard --Somehow make it popular, regardless of your income capacity, or stop selling cars here." Simultaneously, a cleaner planet takes all countries. So if China can build 43 new Coal plants for power grid in 2023-2024 (This is searchable yes), and Air traffic continues to increase (Extreme addition to Air Pollution), it makes a clean energy movement that involves aggressive mining for Emission Appropriate Cars really a slap in the face to the avg consumer, but I digress.

A supra gr is a two seater this is a 5 seater poor comparison.

$45k for the GT is just laughable.

This video is a little unfair. You said the TR was going to be overpriced at $48K. Its $42K and now you're still calling it overpriced??? Sounds like you would've complained no matter what unless the car was unrealistically cheap. That said i do agree that it makes more since to get a premium and spend the money on mods.

Ya if/when I ever see one of these out n about in the wild, pretty sure the first thing I’ll think is “lol what an idiot” haha Keep in mind tho, building a TR with a base, that’s assuming you’re doing all the work yourself…which, I know I couldn’t/wouldn’t do…. Breaking 40k+ with no added horses is just a joke lol

The fact that the TR and all future wrxs will come with eyesight is a major turnoff. Expecting my limited without eyesight to go way up in resale value

Subaru is nuts bring back the sti

Just buy a 6 speed WRX and build it into an STI, problem solved.

A wrx for 40k +. That’s hilarious.

40k+ for a heavy 200hp sports car …. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ha ha ha JUST as the ECNOMY that JOE BIDET ruined takes a TITAN sub like dive . BTW the tepu tent on my tacoma identifies as a sanctuary city for homeless REI employees. thank you good channel and my series gray with brem bros OWN ALL .

Sorry, but there's nothing special about the redesign, and definitely nothing worthy of one being $40k +. 😂 Those terrible Honda Civic tail lights, the lack of badging on the side, just...no. It's so boring now. I felt so bad because a couple of days ago a guy driving one of the redesigned WRXs waved at me, and I didn't even realize he was driving one until he had gone past me. 😅 Sorry, dude! It just looked so nondescript, like any old sedan or maybe a faster Impreza. 😅
