2023 Subaru WRX GT POV Drive! Living with the Subaru Performance Transmission!

[@haonansun7933]

I test drive it today. It feels like a real gear ratio transmission. And the power transfer smooth. It has the fun for sure.

[@henryi9738]

I don't get why some people don't like the body cladding ; it doesn't look that bad, and it's still a great car. BTW, that was a nice ride, and thanks for the video. 🙂

[@Allcarnews]

We agree! Thanks!

[@growingup4487]

i can see why they did it, my 2007 wrx has naked front fenders and rock chips chip the paint and rusts the fender quick, i like the function over form

[@ValFinale]

i like it actually. it makes the car stand out from others and adds to the rally heritage. its Mad Max-y

[@ianashmore9910]

The cladding would make more sense if it still looked like a rally car instead of a grocery getter.

[@genxwarlock]

I love my rally blue pearl GT. Great car

[@aireydc]

Seen quite a few complaints about the Recaro seats not fitting people well. What about the adjustable seats in the Limited?

[@SuperFreshWRX]

I got a 22 white GT I’m up to 17.0 lbs of boost and it holds it very well

[@kenneth9271]

How does it do in the snow

[@jacobharper3874]

How are the Recaro seats on this? I hear people saying they are both comfortable and uncomfortable.

[@Allcarnews]

The materials and visual appearence of them are fantastic. I just found them very uncomfortable in daily use. I’ve been in a various amount of sporty vehicles with fantastic bolsters, but these are too stiff, too narrow, and just not suited for everyone.

[@carlosdmexican]

I've got a TS (GT equivalent in aus without recaros luckily as theyre uncomfortable in long drives) and my only gripe is that I can't get rid of the wheel gap with lowering springs cause im worried about the issues it might cause with the adaptive suspension

[@Allcarnews]

Ah interesting didn’t think about that with the adaptive. i think it should be ok? i’ve seen other lower springs on more expensive cars work fine with those systems

[@kacpernakijcito9978]

Well... Can it make classic subaru rumble sound if modified? Back of the car looks like Fiat Tipo or Open Insignia, same thing as new BRZ. And really I love Subaru but i can't forgive them that they won't produce STI anymore...

[@Allcarnews]

honestly it probably can. the exhaust drone already sounds like it 😂

[@reubencoto8693]

I don’t think you can get the GT model in a 6 speed manual. It only comes with the CVT.

[@Allcarnews]

Yes… that’s what i explains in my video, and the description…. if you watched it

[@nateprague2719]

Are WRX built for longevity like other subaru models? Ive had my crosstrek for 180k miles and no issues.

[@willcollado215]

No but I had my 2018 wrx with 120,000 no issues

[@YoYo-vc1os]

is this car worth buying if u just go to work and back ? mabye just drive it more on a weekend ? is it worth the gas mileage?

[@FOSTER_KEHD]

Awesome car🔥

[@russellwang168]

how do you like the HK stereos

[@Allcarnews]

Not crazy good. Just average.

[@baldygrey2779]

IMO, the design of this car is strongest in the front and weakens as it makes its way to the rear. I've mostly adjusted to the appearance of this new generation but definitely not the cladding. I just traded in my 2017 WRX and left the Subaru fold. But it will be interesting to see what the WRX looks like in a few more years. I hppe it's still around, even if they turn it into an EV like I suspect they might do if they bring back the STI.

[@sokratzmmf]

What did you get to replace your wrx?

[@manuvns]

IT's CVT ? not shifting like a Toyota 6-speed transmission

[@tomcat8001]

Can you use unleaded or is it special premium gas?

[@Allcarnews]

The engine is designed to operate using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher.” However, fuel with an octane rating of 87 or higher can be used with no detriment to engine durability.

[@tomcat8001]

@@Allcarnews oh that’s cool! Thanks for the info!

[@Withlovefrominterent]

@@Allcarnews Sorry for this very late comment, but I ordered one of these used through Carmax and it will be delivered soon for me to test it. Are you sure that 87 octane can be used without negatively affecting the engine? I'm definitely looking forward to the car, but my two concerns about it as a daily driver are about the seat comfort, and the premium gas requirement. Thank you

[@Allcarnews]

@Withlovefrominterent yes it can run on 87. Expect a very slight power reduction if anything. The Owner's Manual states for WRX: "The engine is designed to operate using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. However, fuel with an octane rating of 87 or higher can be used in either model with no detriment to engine durability.”

[@2JZ-it8ug]

which better CVT or Manual?

[@Allcarnews]

Depends what you want.

[@2JZ-it8ug]

@@Allcarnews which faster?

[@Allcarnews]

@2JZ-it8ug Manual

[@vincefairleigh6899]

Looks a bit like a civic, basically looks like an economy car, I am a fan of the hatchback sti from way back, if I got one it would be my daily driver/ economy car, depending how expensive it is, I really just want an all wheel drive car for traveling in the winter and something sporty, my truck sucks the gas too much to be a daily driver.

[@nickcheema907]

The dumbest thing I've ever seen is the new Nissan Z Nismo only coming with an automatic

[@Allcarnews]

let’s hope it’s not true 😭

[@xinthisdiaryx]

Who gets this car in automatic?

[@Allcarnews]

Shockingly a lot of people

[@googlegamer4047]

Ah old guy with a bad knee from pushing a clutch for too many years, but still wants a fun ride.

[@nateprague2719]

I'm 6'4'' and the visibilty in this subaru is the best with out getting a mom car forester. The seat in the wrx goes low enough I can see, has harmon kardon sound system and drives well. It seems like the best subaru option for me strictly from a visibilty stand point.

[@ReX7828]

Those who lives in the city with heavy traffic jam

[@LANoir-dy6dc]

I live in a city with terrible traffic. I bought the SPT. Plus the SPT has more stuff like the adaptive suspension and the ability to change AWD from normal to sport

[@chinggop]

Nice contents, but i need to quickly stopped watching. Head mounted camera is just bad, causing nausea at it moves. Sorry!

[@Allcarnews]

Where would you like me to mount it? I could bite it
