I got an Impreza RS back in 2000, last year in North America before the WRX was available locally. Nothing special by any means, but I kept that thing for 10 years, it was fantastic to me! Still, always wanted a WRX, or dare I say, an WRX STi though, and this one looks great, really considering it. So few fun manual cars these days... Anyway, thanks for another great vid Alex!

Great review, glad this car exists (I happen to have a lightning red 2011 wrx hatch) - but it's not the STi that us longtime Subaru fans have been asking for. Between the weaker transmission, lack of DCCD, and open diffs front and rear there's still a gap that Subaru isn't satisfying that interestingly Toyota is with certain packages in the GR Corolla. As noted not probably as charming as the STi was with its (albeit problem-prone) EJ engine and boxer rumble, but for those wanting something more serious out of their manual AWD performance car the Corolla with the diffs optioned out is probably the best way to go.

What's your pick of the hot hatches and this Alex? Also- how did you lose so much weight!!!??? Mazal tov!!!! This might be my favorite current car on the market. All of the WRX trims are great value. I'd rather have this over the Corolla GR as it has an automatic (even if it isn't perfect). And the price is better with no dealer markups. I would get the premium trim or the TR and wait for it used. I wouldn't even consider the Civic Type R due to the excessive width, lack of an automatic and dealer markups. The car has gotten too big and I live in a small town with narrow roads.

I'm not the typical person who yells it's too expensive in the comments. I realized inflation is here to stay. But it's hard to justify this price over the GR Corolla. It's too close to the Golf R as well. I guess it's for the WRX enthusiast, otherwise the base and premium trims make way more sense.

Well at least for US market Subaru actually produces WRXs in decent quantity, and you're likely to get one for msrp. CTRs are still going for $50k+ OTD. GR Corollas are both limited and markup. Elantra N if you're going auto. I think it would be a toss up manual vs manual. You really get some power out of these new FA24s without it going boom like a EJ.

The S209, it' predecessors S208, S207 and the RA were Subaru's epitome of the mass production turbocharged ICE H4 car. The S209 being the only USDM one sadly. The WRX TR is only significantly better aka track ready because of the brakes no other reason. Hell the engine is not even tuned more aggressively to extract unlocked power and torque. A three cylinder turbocharged 1.6 litre AWD Toyota with 300 HP is a more track ready car! The GR Corolla!
