Is the 2024 Subaru WRX TR a better AWD performance car than a Toyota GR Corolla?

[@karmahunden]

Subaru said the TR no longer means Tuner Ready for this gen. It means Track Ready. Think about: it’s not a base trim and has track adjustments but not power bump.

[@karmahunden]

Follow up note: Subaru realized how stupid they were, and replaced this trim with the tS. They are still stupid for getting rid of the STi.

Nice to see Subaru is not giving up on sedans! Hey Joe, If you still lived in B'klyn you would understand how useful that big flat black bumper is. It saves owners from repainting their bumper every few years or buying Bumper bullies. Tight parking spaces wreck havoc on painted bumpers!

I drive in the city best way to avoid it is practice parallel parking you won’t need a bumper bully. These things have cameras too.

@@vjdfl5Looks are subjective. You also aren't getting a Type R or GR corolla for MSRP. Gr Corolla is not as practical or roomy and feels cheaper, while the reliability of a high strung 3 cylinder is still to be seen. Type R isn't AWD and also has a smaller displacement engine, the WRX has more room for tuning potential which is the point of the TR. Elantra N also isn't awd but it is a good car for the price, but you could also say why not pick the N over your FL5 for easily at least $20k dollars less for most of the performance.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Joe, your Subaru knowledge never fails to impress. The looks of this car are starting to grow on me as well. Very curious that Subaru added so much black plastic especially when you consider how ugly it looks when it is not maintained and starts to fade. When that happens it just makes the whole car look bad. With that said, this car is starting to look better and better over time. For me, the only problem is that the Toyota GR Corolla exists and if it was a choice between the GR Corolla and this, I would have to take the GR Corolla. I have to say, it is still nice to live in a world where we still have choices in AWD, 6-speed manual cars that are fun, practical and reliable. Again, well done Team Raiti!

Hi Joe, thank you for your reviews with Lori and/or Steven, as always. In your professional opinion, which Subaru was more fun to drive on the Angeles Crest Highway: this WRX TR or the BRZ ts? And which is a better daily driver? I'm still coming to grips with the $42k + MSRP for the WRX.... 😲

[@Konformation07]

Wake me up when they put the STI gearbox and DCCD in this car

[@juanticimo]

It can be done for about 6k, and you can make 350whp for 2k... so a base can be had for high 20s, so lets say 28k... add 6k for the STI drivetrain, 2k in power mods to get to 350whp, youre at 36k, and you smoke every STI with bolt ons you come across - reliably... I own an 05 blobeye STI btw as well as VB

[@bjammin187]

Thanks for reviewing this one, Joe. I got a WRX 2023 Premium 6mt. I love it, but am envious of those TR Brembo’s.

[@Batman-ND]

TR = tuner ready but will void your warranty the moment you change anything. Just bring back the sti. It had enough HP and looks that many people didn’t need to modify other than exhaust/intake. Subaru really screwed the pooch getting rid of the wrx sti

[@thekoz5158]

It has a manual, then this is the best WRX for the money, period!

[@gordonmills2748]

Plastic cladding around the wheels is a huge Zonk for me. That could easily be a mod if you want it.

[@panderalexander]

I understand you mainly focus on regular driving and not performance driving, but cars like the STI, GR Corolla, and Type R have option for LSD and new WRX only uses the open front diff and open rear diff from Crosstrek. For example STI has front LSD, center active DCCD diff, and rear LSD. But since you dont push your cars then havinf LSD or not wouldnt matter to you, it would matter only for those looking for performance.

[@ZZZRaven65]

I'm sure this is a very fun, capable car, and honestly, I've warmed up to the looks... but in my mind, where it loses out to the CTR and GRC (for very similar money) are: - no true limited-slip diffs (brake-controlled diffs are not as good - and eat brake pads/rotors) - less power - more weight - worse MPG That said, they are very tunable, so if you aren't concerned about your warranty, you can overcome that power deficit fairly easily, but that still doesn't fix the diffs. I'm sure it would be a quieter/more comfortable daily driver than either of those two too though, so it just depends on where your priorities are. There is also the Elantra N though - which is crazy good for significantly less money than all of these. Choice is good!

[@MiguelSanchez-os4xs]

The day where this car starts getting compared to you, Toyota Corolla, of any type or a Ford focus of any type is when this car started to lose me

The TR is cool if you want an AWD car for the track, especially considering the GRC has major issues on the track with its AWD system overheating. Still, the base model at 30k is by far the most appealing WRX imo.

[@1031ent]

Premium IMHO is the best trim/bang for buck. The split screen on the base is annoying, plus you get bigger rims on the premium.

[@JBbenanti]

Seems like an awesome upgrade to my Elantra N-Line, which I’ve loved. However, in the winters the FWD isn’t ideal, so I’ve been looking for an AWD 6-speed manual without insane dealer markups. I just wish it was closer to the mid 30,000’s

But that area is where rust tends to develop, and on my STi that area is also where garbage tends to build from the road and scuffs presumably from entering and exiting. It looks ugly, but it seems to have a purpose. Just not aerodynamics.

[@SavvyRooster13]

Great car and they make excellent torque. 1st gear is a little low, and the shift to second off the line is almost immediate. The best part of the 2023 is that it does not have the nanny controls (lane assist, adaptive cruise control). I also have a 2023 BRZ Limited and the adaptive cruise drives me nuts on long trips. Also the car beeps a lot and tries to brake if you drive aggressively. Finally just a warning to turn off your WiFi as Subaru sells your data to insurance companies.

Many people complained about the EVO X not having the 4G63. I don't have any knowledge of the raptor eyes WRX having the FA platform getting hate. Secondly, Subaru car enthusiasts are hard to please in terms of looks. Every generation after the GC/GF/GM chassis received hate design-wise. I don't understand how people hated the previous generation. I also believe that the last generation STi was more of a track car other than a rally car. Subaru focused it on the Nurburgring and other series.

People literally wanted a direct injection sti version of this new engine, they didn’t want the ej. They wanted more power, and Subaru was never going to give it to them unless it was electric.
