Are you curious if the 2024 Subaru WRX trims are worth the extra money? In today's video, I break down the prices of all WRX trim levels, including the Base, Premium, Limited, TR, GT, and TS. We dive into what each trim offers and determine if the price differences are justified or if you might be overpaying for minimal added features. Watch to clear up any confusion you may have about each version of the WRX and decide if you're getting the best value for your money or if the extra trims are a waste of your money. Watch this analysis before making your next car purchase!
Before You skip through the video, understand that each car when I am explaining what is added, it is assumed that the features from the Cars before it are already added and we're telling the difference from the closest model to the model we're complaining. Also all models are priced out with manuals except the GT.

You forgot the Harmon Kardon audio system when discussing the options on the Limited. As for the other pricing, I think the car is a great value. Civic Type R, Corolla GR and Golf R are all more expensive. A comparable CT4-V blackwing is twice the cost of a TR but not twice as fun to drive as a daily. Depends on your perspective, it I think the WRX is worth it. You should price a new half ton truck with options on it if you want to see what being raked over the coals look like. Let’s be thankful a WRX with a manual even exists, because one day it won’t, for ANY price.

@StreetInspired1 14 дней назад

I did forget that one. It was on my list, and I looked right over it. That is a solid upgrade over the oem system for sure. And I do think the car is a good price compared to other similar cars on the market. I was simply stating that some of the higher trim levels may not be worth the extra money for some people. A lot of people walk blindly into a dealership and don't know what each option is, and most salesmen shoot for the moon immediately without explaining the differences. I'm also very thankful for subaru keeping the manual around!

@@MK3504you’re right it is, but it’s DOUBLE the cost. As a daily driver, I’m not sure it’s worth double. I was literally cross shipping the CT4V BW against a TR and I couldn’t justify the added price of the BW over the TR.

@aireydc 14 дней назад

All cars are now too expensive. However, I am trading in my car towards a 24 WRX Limited. For me, the seats in the Limited are the best. They are the only ones with Lumbar support. For me, more comfortable and supportive than the others. I also like the moonroof and upgraded audio AND blind spot and rear cross safety alerts. The audio and moonroof is a 1900 option leaving 2500 for the seats and safety alerts. Are the seats and safety alerts worth 2500? My back and road insanity say YES!

@Antykain 15 дней назад

I bought a 2024 WRX Premium recently. Bought it during the Memorial day weekend sales which included 2500 off + another 1500 off. Pretty good deal on it.. Been super happy with the VB (came from a 15 VA WRX Limited). Steering responsive headlights was not available on my Premium. On the Limited, yes. Those upgrades you talked about adding to a base or Premium would be nice.. but you're basically losing your warranty. Some people don't care about that, I get it.. But myself, I'm keeping the full warranty intact for the stuff that matters. Exterior/interior cosmetic upgrades I've already done.. warranty still gtg! Now, I may get that itch to start really getting into modding (Intake/upgraded TMIC/pro-tune/etc..), but for now, I'm not touching those areas.. 🤘

@StreetInspired1 14 дней назад

I did see that, I downloaded a PDF from subaru, and it listed the SR Headlights as standard on the premium, but the website says it's not. That's where the confusion was. And for sure! To each their own and everyone has a different mod path. There is nothing wrong with keeping the engine untouched for the warranty. The car performs great from the factory, unlike the previous generation!

@Antykain 14 дней назад

@StreetInspired1 I wish the premium did come with those steering responsive headlights and/or the headlights that come standard on the Limited+ trims.. they look sick! Also, I would have thought the VB platform might have more aftermarket options for the headlights by now.. but it seems Subaru may have some propriety bs in there or something. Circuit Demon does have full retrofit available.. 🤔

@Edward-jx7pl 15 дней назад

This car was a great value for the 23’ MY at 30k for the base and 33k for the premium. Even better if it was a MY 22’. The safety features added the $2000 price increase just made this more expensive. People have claimed that they were able to get it $2k - $4k or more off MSRP (no markup). Good deal if you’re able to get discounts otherwise it’s a turnoff to me starting after $35k for a WRX.

@janoskovacs11 12 дней назад

Everything got more expensive, cars, houses, food, utilities, etc…… If you look at the base or premium prices, they make sense. Next step, if you check what would cost if you would add all the extra stuff that the higher trims have, you would be at the same price, plus it’s not including the extra work of the installation. So technically all WRXs have fair prices. The problem is, some people would prefer to spend the extra money on different parts and even the most expensive WRX doesn’t have the STi’s drive system.

whats interesting is that, the value is really different for 2024.. seems like the premium is where its at for 2024, but previous to that i think the limited was the sweet spot.. I bought a used 22 limited for 31k with 10k miles, and couldnt be happier. Eye sight is annoying (my wifes ascent has it) and other than lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control its super invasive.. my 22 limited came with a clear bra, weather tech floor mats, sun roof, harmon kardon etc. I got all the goodies i wanted, that you coudlnt get on the premium previous to 24.. if i were to buy new, i think the premium with the moonroof, harmon kardon would be the best package.. you get the better headlights on the premium now standard it seems.

With let’s say the base model you buy a BBK and coilovers and add fog lights which are plug and play since the wiring and stuff is already there.

The TR doesn’t have the slop in the steering wheel that all other Subarus have and the suspension is stiffer. I don’t care about the suspension BUT getting rid of the steering wheel play,… changes things significantly. In my opinion.

Honestly, I was extremely let down by the WRX offerings. Went to the GR Corolla instead. I do like these but the discontinuation of the STI really rubbed me the wrong way. It just seems like they are upcharging for things that should be standard. I get up charging for over seats and brakes, but it just doesn’t seem competitive with others performance vehicles. I feel I got a much better value with my GRC core premium than i would have with a premium WRX

The premium is the best bang for buck for this car. The Limited is nice for the things you get for it such as the SRH, Seats, HK Sound system etc. The good thing is dealers are letting these cars go for thousands off MSRP even the GT, TR, etc. The WRX is not Subaru's money maker the suburban mom cars are. That being said people up in arms about pricing are just delusional honestly. Inflation is a thing, car prices have gone up across the board for EVERY manufacturer so saying " WTF RIP OFF, I got an STI for 38k 5 years ago ". Yeah 5 years ago when things were significantly cheaper and Covid didn't ravage the world. Things have been expensive for a while now so complaining about that is just stupid. Educate yourself people.

They're doing more than scamming buyers... scamming them with all these different trims just delaying the inevitable. Base, Premium, Limited, GT, TR, and soon to replace the TR, the tS. No one asked for a CVT-only GT. No one asked for a Tuner Ready version, and no one was asking for a tS, although the digital gauge cluster is a really cool new addition, it's not the WRX people are asking for. The Subie enthusiasts want their WRX STI because that's all that matters and they should get it. Subaru either caves in and bring back the STI on this current gen platform of the WRX, which they have (had) a fully built production-ready vehicle ready to go and bring back the STI Division team to do their STI magic, or Subaru can kick rocks and not bother with a next gen WRX because no WRX or WRX STI enthusiast wants an all electrical STI, e-STI / STe, nor is asking for it either because it will not be a real STI and takes away what the STI stood for. VB gen STI or bust.

Eh, not everyone who buys a WRX is going to have the resources or knowhow to do upgrades themselves and the upgrades they would put on probably have warrantied work. A lot of the upgrades are reasonably priced and the suspension and steering in the TR and TS are noticeably better than the lower trims. The seats are more comfortable and the interior looks more upscale and you get pretty good, expensive tires and 19s. Yeah you can do all these things yourself but when Subaru does it you'll have a good ass warranty unless you add power mods. I think with the prices of cars trending up in general, the WRX is still a solid deal.
