I Finally Bought The New Subaru WRX....

[@markhartman-tc7zd]

I’ve had a 2015 and 2019 and now a 2022 WRX. The 2022 is significantly better. The ride is better, stiffer, better delivery of power, better stock tune, better suspension and more fun than my two previous WRXs.

[@Vecc-tq3fb]

All nice. But..... can't get over how ugly it is. I've seen some really nice work done aftermarket to fix the ugliness. But no way is it worth spending close to 8k to make the car look nice. But; if you guys like it. That's all that matters.

Non technical review of the newest WRX. The 23 is my third wrx limited and 4th Subaru since 2016 and it is my opinion that the car is maturing with me. Never had any issues with the cars aside from body damage from minor accidents and vandalism. I lease because I’m a city dweller with no garage and can’t get my shit together enough to actually purchase the car outright. Also since it’s a turbo, I wanna drive it like one and turn it in before my warranty expires. Started with a 2018, then traded in for a 2020 and was prepared to keep my 2020 but after seeing a few people look happy as hell in the newest generation I decided to make the change. What I mean by maturing with me is the previous versions were a little bit more raw sports feel. The 2023 feel like the 2020 went to the gym, worked out and gained a little muscle and then put on a business suit. Ride is more comfortable. Handling is sharper. Less road noise but you can still hear all the things (aside from a blow off valve that existed on previous generations) And my favorite part is feeling the turbo kick in in 6th gear. Always thought 6th was for getting better gas mileage on the freeway and never thought I would still be able to pull cars while in 6th. Was grinning ear to ear at how much you can still feel the turbo work while in top gear. This may be the one I keep forever but only because as I get older, it’s nice to have all the creature comforts combined with the sporty performance we have all come to love over the years. Not sure if it’s placebo effect after finding out about why they put the big black trim on the sides but my mind tells me that the car feels more aerodynamic with less resistance in the wheel well area. My mom has a cross trek so it’s cute to see them next to each other all matchy matchy, but I originally planned to keep the 2020 because of the diaper they added to 2022 WRX. After careful consideration from past experiences, I have come to the conclusion that I actually like the diaper booty because I live in the city and park on the street so I think if and when someone dings my bumper, I’ll be less irritated because it won’t damage the paint. Mom lives in the country so the new aesthetic fits well with the mild off-roading I’ll be doing while I climb her driveway. It’s not for everyone and I disliked it initially due to the new look but it has grown on me for sure. Still holding out for a revival of the sti wagon but this will have to do for now. Another thing that has changed is calibration if the rear view camera. When i first had the 2018 and 20 WRX s I would have to change my curb side door mirror position so I could avoid hitting curbs while parallel parking. I eventually got lazy and proceeded to hit every curb I could find. As wheels got rotated, the entire set filled up with curb rash. It wasn’t until the service guy told me the wheels are around $2k of the value of the car and my laziness depreciated the value of the car. The 23 rear view camera or the body design now allows for me to reverse into parallel spots without grazing the curb. Sometimes I have to get out and check and repark closer but I prefer this over hearing my rim scrape curbs. I’m sure that over time I will get used to the new angles but the old booty was WIDE! If you’re on the fence about this car I would say take a look at resell values. The WRX has one of the highest resell values out there so even with my wheel rash, I was able to use my last WRX to turn a bad financial decision around and transition to the new car with a very small increase in monthly payment. I entered my last two leases with negative equity but because of the high demand for used cars, the payoff of my last lease I estimate to be around $4k less than its resale value. When I told the dealership that I was going to buy the 20 in cash if they couldn’t match the monthly payment on the new car lease, they very politely gave me a new payment that I could agree to. Same exact lease but the 23 msrp after dealer addons was about 4k more than the 20. Haven’t done the math yet but 15 dollar increase over 36 months is far less than that and I got a brand new car that in my opinion has more features and is a better fit for me. So if you’re a current WRX owner who is on the fence, go test drive it. Let the cat do the talking. And also realize that the dealerships ant your used car because that means they get to sell two cars, a new one to you and your old one to someone who has to have analog air conditioner controls.

[@21ProxyOne]

Watching your videos for the first time, I have a 06 STi and a 94 Rx7. I am thinking of getting a 23 WRX for my next daily and I think I might be going that route after watching your video and others. It seems like people are liking the car more once they see it in person and actually drive it.

[@Joshua-hv5gs]

This is a Subaru WRX and is a rally inspired vehicle the black cladding on the fenders are to protect the fenders from rock dings I don't understand people and not liking so much of the car. The people that don't like the cladding aren't true subaru fans it's in the wrx DNA to look like this and you have yo understand the WRX history to get why the vehicle has the look it does. Plus in the nodding world people are doing things like this all over the world anyway. I think it's dumb to change anything on the WRX it's a master piece a work of art. Subaru did a beautiful job with the creation of this machine. No one is going to understand this car unless you are a true enthusiast of subaru

[@shiloh5199]

Great video, i do like the new WRX but i understand why some hate the wheel gauding. Ive owned various Volvo XC70's and XC90 's and have gotten use to wheel gauding. My favorite WRX within buying reach to me is the GR chassis hatch but love the 22b!!

As someone who has always wanted a WRX but unable to get one until recently. I own the 2022 WRX Limited, I think what it comes with is very nice. I do think it looks like a mom car and I do hate that. My goal is to change things to make it look better and improve the outside looks of it. I think it drives wonderful. Again this is my first WRX so I have nothing to compare it to. I did want an STI back in the day but I know me and know that the STI was probably not worth it for me personally, because this car is also my daily driver. This car puts a smile on my face all the time and I love getting to wave at other WRX and STI owners. I wish instead of people hating on it would just let others enjoy the cars and be kind to other drivers in the VB and not look down on them because we don't own the VA. I love how most of the VA's look but, it didn't make sense for me to spend the same amount of money on an older car with miles when I can get a brand new car from factory and be the first owner.

[@Kopernicus67]

Exact water temp not needed. Modern cars shutter off the radiator until the coolant comes to engine temp, then opens up the radiator as it needs to bleed off heat when hot. This is for emissions, so the engine gets to operating temperature and efficiency . You cannot heat a liquid above its boiling point, so once the coolant/water mix gets to 210, it stays there. Oil temp is necessary as that warms up at a slower rate than the coolant, and would indicate the engine is running too hard if it warms significantly.
