To me it's a well used 2011 wrx shaped bar of soap.

Exactly, knock the edges off so it's safe for mass consumption.

It's a Corolla fighter more than anything else. At least from a styling and practicality standpoint.

Well, we might as well share this with you guys, since ya'll are are favorites

We got in a 2015 WRX and will be launching another store dedicated to this platform. We are starting to get our launch material together for it and have decided to feature the car on Bar & Track as well.

Stay tuned for a full review that should be up late this week....

Anyone had a chance to drive the newer WRXs? Subaru really hit the nail on the head with the redesign. I'm entertaining the idea of trading my FRS in on one of these... need something a little more practical but can't justify the need for an STI.

How so? It looks like every other car out there now.

Was a pile of threads on that back late last year. Many guys from here switched over. The only negative feed back from several of them was that after they got used to the initial feeling of power they found they could rarely use it and became bored. Overall though most seemed happy with the change.

They look a lot better now than what they used to.

Look better than they did yes but I am with Turbo on this one since they do indeed sort of blend in with the crowd now. At least when they were butt ugly you could see one coming and know what it was. Now, not so much.

I had never driven a turbo car before so the lag was a shock to me. I think the car looks good but has a decidedly unsporty feeling cabin and seating.

MightyMeeple · 04-27-2015, 03:25 PM

I've ridden in one a couple of times; a coworker has one. I haven't driven it yet...hoping to at some point.

From a looks perspective, I really like it. The exterior looks angular and somewhat aggressive. From a distance, it still looks like a stealth sedan but when you mash the gas there's a nice growl to it. The interior looks and feels like how the BRZ should have. It's nice but not luxurious.

Really wish this car either looked more like the concept car shown in 2014...or that Subaru just hadn't ever shown us that concept to begin with !

This applies to ever single concept vs production car I have ever seen. I guess if we were all willing to pay $30K more for cars we could get the concept versions. I get that concepts are supposed to grab your attention but show me what you want to sell me not a "well it could have looked/performed like this" version.

22B still looks the best IMO... How I wish I could find one that isn't beat to crap or more expensive than a new BRZ.

Sigh-on-Rice · 04-27-2015, 04:24 PM

My friend got '15 WRX with CVT. It's a lot more refined and doesn't have much rawness. The engine sounds so much more quiet too. Even though the springs are about 50% stiffer, it still feels softer than FR-S somehow. I could feel the body roll noticeably more than FR-S when I did a hard turn while stepping on the brake. When I WOT, FR-S's excitement goes up as I rev all the way to the red line, but WRX was like excitement kind of jumps to peak at just 3k RPM and stays like that until the red line.

So, it's really what you favor. These difference can be good for certain people and bad for certain people. Some people prefer refined driving feel and some prefer raw feeling. Some people likes less bouncy ride and some likes more bouncy ride. Some people like the power to be available at any RPM and some only like it at the higher RPM. Even the practicality too; some people wants to have 5 adults to be able to ride and some only wants 2. To me, FR-S is perfect. I need the useless rear seat so that I can let my 4 year old son to sit, but it's not big enough for an adult to sit, which means I don't end up being the driver when I go out with my friends. :p

P.S. Might as well wait for '16 WRX. Premium and Limited WRX will get 18" rims and backup camera just for $300 or so more than '15. WRX is a good choice. It's a really nice car.

More like you wish you could find one period. There were only 424 made. My dream car forever.
