Is the 2024 Subaru WRX Base the BEST new sport sedan for $30k? 

Got mine new for $28k

You can't get it for 30k. Msrp before taxes on a base model is $33,855

@@ranran2218you can on sales, I’ve been offered invoice even

@@ranran2218 many dealers sell it under msrp. you can get it for 30k with some haggling

​@@ranran2218they literally said they got it for 30k....

The full screen looks goofy as hell and is piano black and scratches easy, the base dual screen in matte black looks much better and proportional

Yeah that's a 23. No eyesight! Even the base has the Subaru Eyesight!

​@@bretthansen8166I have had several Subarus with the same screen, and never been has gotten scratched

4 local friends with Limited models, all have surface scratches. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s why I mentioned the 22-23 base models will be sought after, no sunroof, turn key, lightest weight and no gloss black infotainment. The new base has eyesight, big gloss screen, and different windshield that needs to be collaborated unlike a regular windshield

@Bowhunters6go8xz6x yes, but you can get it for $30k. This vehicle can be had for less than msrp.

Also the base doesn’t have any the modern nonsense. It’s a turn key 🔑 ignition, no push button start. Doesn’t have the “eyesight” emergency systems which if you happen to need a new windshield you don’t need a “certain” version in order to collaborate it. No heated seats, just a drivers car without added gizmos as it should be. The base model 2022-23 will be the ones people look for in the future.

Thanks for sharing that great insight Brett

@@bretthansen8166that is another great point

@@RaitisRidesalways appreciate your honest and inciteful reviews, you and Lori are the best 👍🏻

@@bretthansen8166 lol yeah I am sure enthusiasts will be so against heated seats! LMFAO

Why did you sell it?

@@karmahunden Moving overseas, and it has not been sold there for a few years because it does not meet the exhaust emission standards. I wanted to take it with me, but there is no telling how much it would cost to get it to pass the inspection there. But in the US, buy it, it is an awesome car!!!

And even though it is rated at 26 mpg on the highway, it averaged about 30 mpg, as long as you drove it at the legal limit. It is a wonderful car, and I wish i could take it with me!

@@05rollerman awesome! Ty for answering

I drove a premium without the HK / Sunroof package and it was fine. The sound system was good enough. I don't think the upgrade is worth $2000. Change out the speakers yourself for $300.

Yes, it has been like that since 1992; when/where Subaru Legacy Model L was like Brand New Ordered from Japan = 17,000.00+ CAD$ (which was only 65cent a Dollar Green Back.) And we looked up the Price in the US was like 13,000.00 USD$ And the CrossTrek base 2.0l Engine (Low Yen) imported to Canada is like saving 15-20% Discount. Labour Costs in Japan vs USA/Canada, sound like we should order Mazda or Subaru that Made in Japan. 🗾🗾 We/I our family own both FWD and 4WD and AWD full-time Subaru Models (Legacy and OB) = even with the FWD Subaru Legacy = nothing compare with a Honda Accord and/or Camry Toyoda which mostly 20,000.00+ For Model Accord EX and/or Camry LE Car is much better in Snow Covered Driveways and Slippery Icy-road. Our 1992 has feature that when Ignition Key off the Column All Lights are off, we never had to worry about forgetting the Head-light in Deep Winter Cold Canada -- which Camry and Accord same year never had. High Clearance from Ground = we could change oil every Q with Bulk-load Oil bought in advanced and stored in the Tank with Pump. We save every year on Oil Change (not at the Service Station and Radiator Coolant access so easy; Every Summer End we drained out the Old Coolant and added new one; Therefore, Engine after 31 years still running like 10 year old Engine. The Legacy 1992 was stolen last May 2023 ─ while we was in the Process restoring the Panels with some rusty spot ... Interior almost like New. OEM Extra Set of Rims and Bridgestone Winter Tires still on the Car when it was Towed away; the Thieves used the CAA Tow Truck to have done in brought Daylight... in the back of the Alley = and The Police could not even Trace for any... with Witness Described the Colour of the Tow Truck (What's a Shamed) Cheers,

And like this Used but Rare STI [ インプレッサ WRX タイプRA STI ] Back in that year this Model would have cost more than 30k USD$ (The Logo WRX Graphics was topnotch and Lights Front and Rear so simple with Fog-light Posts ready for Fog light installation ..etc.) Subaru Impreza 1995 for sale - Car Price CA$18,074 (CA$22,640) 17,000 km Petrol 2000 cc E-GC8 Engine Manual Re-enforced Cross bars between two Struts; not on New 2024 WRX??!! STI Seats and all STI Logo's etc. Gold Mag Wheels with STI Red Logo and more!!! 😍 😍 One thing we/I have to comment = Biden and/or Trudeau should stop mandating EV and so on... Ridiculous Green "Tree Hugging" stories... Cheers,

That boxer rumble!

The rumble is nonexistent ever since they dropped the 2.5 EJ with unequal length headers!😂

It is one of my favorite blues available on any new car.

22MPG combined is "decent gas mileage"???

Other customers disagree. 2023 was the best selling year of the WRX ever.

@@SuzukiKid400 No it wasn't. 2016, 2017, 2018 were all higher. And these were the years I liked so everyone agreed with me.

I am seriously considering a 6 or a Mazda 3 Turbo. The head gasket issue with the 2.5T kind of scares me though. Glad to hear yours has been reliable (knock wood)

​@@wbwayne8887 they're awesome cars! Highly recommend.

They are underrated compared to previous version and some other manufacturers. Tons of RU-vid videos showing this model has roughly equivalent peak HP to the STI and a wider powerband on top of that.

Thanks for sharing that great insight!

It looks even uglier when body coloured. Lots have done it, and it makes the car look like a mid 2000s Corolla.

Underwhelming compared to what? Not much else that is faster and more fun to drive at $30k right now!

Thanks for the heads up

That is so awesome!

You have to look at price point.

@@RaitisRides thanks for your reply, the price point is reasonable.

@@luisacevedo3097there’s just the brz that has LED turn signals front and rear. The rest of the lineup either has halogen all around or led turn signals up front. Subaru hasn’t did it full which is something I don’t really understand why

@@mattmekhaeil that’s interesting. Im curious to know how much more it costs them to get LED turning lights.

Trust me so do I Phillip!

Thus is so very true

They look great. Something different for a change!

@@churchofbrap876 The previous WRX was much better looking.

@@HansDelbruck53 no way, like my 23 way better than my 16. So aggressive looking.

@@churchofbrap876 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. But so is ugly.

@@HansDelbruck53 drove mine this morning, such a GREAT car 👍

The car he's driving is a 2023.

What is something “friendly to drive”? The WRX an amazingly practical daily driver sport sedan!

Car

Isn’t the WRX faster?

@@JustinSherrod1991 no the wrx is slower than a TRD camry

Not to sure about that!

​@@RaitisRidesolder WRX all had pronounced spoilers. 10th gen honda had the aggressive look and after a lot of people complained, they got rid of a lot of it so it looked like a normal sedan.

Subaru sets the finance rates across the country. 2023s are 1.9% and 2024s are 4.9%. What dealer has new WRXs for 0%?

@@HadEnough745 it was Subaru Ontario last month.

I’m so glad that you think so!
