  Everyday RocketShip - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By nicks1028 - September 1 - 7:55 pm

  Overall, I really enjoy my car. Its fast, its not too loud or too quiet. On just about any average freeway drive @ 75 mph i get about 30mpg with some passing of cars. If you drive 65mph youll get 33-35mpg and if you cruise @ 55-60mph you will get almost 40mpg. Amazing all around car & when compared to the competition, there is no competition.

  WRX grows up but still has the moves - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By szr1 - May 21 - 1:47 pm

  Overall - the new WRX is an excellent handling, attractive, quick car that can haul 4 six foot humans. Bang for the buck it competes in features and performance with cars 50%+ more expensive. The first 1500 miles have been a lesson in restraint to keep the revs down and break in the fast reving 2.0L turbo slowly. No issues or problems, this is solidly built car. It corners with amazing accuracy and traction. In the rain, its like cheating. The WRX is not just for boy racers (as the press likes to say) - but for 50-somthings looking for responsible fun in all weather.

  2015 WRX CVT - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By rvolney - August 17 - 7:42 pm

  Traded in my 2008 wrx, manual for the 2015 CVT. Wanted an automatic, was delighted to hear the new WRX was in auto, even if a CVT. Love it. Boring in regular mode, fantastic in sport #. Use it mostly in the middle performance mode for everyday driving. Lots of road noise, very still suspension. Razor sharp steering Ive never come across before. Paddle shifters good, only use it to do a race start. Crappy navi, good stereo with Harman option. Very good cornering, brakes a bit stiff to push but work well.

  Fun, affordable, and practical! - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By dunebuggy72 - March 15 - 8:42 pm

  Was in the market for a non fwd car, manual trans, and a useable back seat for under 30k. Very few cars to choose from, but thankfully Subaru exists! Great power, just the boost takes some getting used to.Steering is tight with great feel.Very comfortable seats and visabilty front and rear is great.

  2500 mile review of my WRX - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By sidelined - December 24 - 9:04 pm

  After checking numerous car reviews and seeing the praise this vehicle was getting from many automotive journalists I was convinced this was the car I wanted. Not many people would buy a car without the initial test drive. Its almost like getting married without kissing the women you have decided to wed . However during the month of March I put a deposit down for the 2015 WRX Premium model, no leather seats was an option I could live without . The owners manual has you keeping the revs under 4000 RPM for the first 1000 miles and let me be the first to say it was treacherous. Must say the car looks better in person and grows on you. Overall I am very pleased with the car.

  Serious Fun! - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By mark_fex - September 11 - 1:25 am

  This is a fast, excellent handling little car that is inexpensive and practical. Its a little rough around the edges but I love driving this car! Sometimes I have trouble taking off smoothly but after a second of turbo lag it really moves! Handling is precise and grip is amazing. The ride is very firm but well controlled. The clutch emits a pukey smell when slipped and the A/C is marginal. There is quite a bit of road and wind noise inside. I cant seem to get the base stereo to sound good; Kicker speaker upgrade is on the way.

  Lots of good things in this WRX - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By jlevy2 - August 9 - 7:43 pm

  I had one of the original 2002 WRX cars and loved it. The trouble was that stock it had way too much squishy rubber to satisfy any potential buyer. New motor/trans mounts, ALK, smaller brake booster, and a bunch more urethane parts finally made it feel like a sports sedan. The 2015 feels like a sports sedan right out of the box. I hear people complain about road and wind noise, but dont find it to be an issue at all. My wife and mom dont find the ride too harsh, which surprised me. Its definitely firm, but not jarring.

  3 weeks and 3000 miles - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By guzziman - February 16 - 8:16 pm

  The Limited in stunning World Rally Blue is a work of art. A true drivers car. I am 62 275 lbs and plenty of room for me front and back. Excellent seats and position of controls. Superb build quality and extensive use of lightweight body panels. Engine sound and performance is designed for those who are truly drivers. Clutch feel is progressive and light enough for all day city driving. Turn in and braking is spot on. Dunlop performance rubber is a good choice. No needs for any after market upgrades. Many comments about Clarion radio..Simple reset of some settings solve this.Check on line for tweaks. Road noise is evident on anything less than smooth asphalt. Could be the tires.

  Sold after 9months - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By carolinaken69 - August 11 - 10:25 am

  Traded in a Mustang GT for a WRX with CVT. What a mistake. The cars electronics (radio/Bluetooth/seat heaters) are out of the early 90s. The radio has poor reception and sound quality was awful. The Bluetooth would randomly disconnect, whether using my iPhone or Android phone. The car developed a bunch of rattles. The ride was harsh and the road noise was unbearable. The front paint was flaking off. Most of the issues were well documented in service bulletins but no fixes identified. The AWD was not that good in snow. The back end would over drive and cause the back end to slide out. Traded in on another Mustang. What a mistake.

  what a blast to drive & own - 6,500 mile review - 2015 Subaru WRX
  By subaru_colorad - July 21 - 9:36 pm

  Purchased the WRX after test-drive & reading reviews of WRX and WRX STI - I liked the STIs acceleration, handling, and in particular the brakes, but did not care for the appearance of fin or stiffness. As a 40+ yr old, I was looking for a car that was fun, but non-descript in a corporate parking lot and comfortable as a commuter/pick up the kids vehicle. Ive driven the WRX 6K+ miles, and live in the Colorado foothills, windy road. It is a blast! Took awhile to get used to timing (turbo lag) and too many RPMs while shifting does release a horrible smell, but this only occurs when not careful. The car is very light; braking and acceleration = very responsive. Im 62 200 lbs.
