One of the biggest mistakes auto makers are making is phasing out manual transmissions. Some of us actually like shifting gears. I want to control what gear the car must be in, not the car deciding for itself. For example they shift up, when we want to shift down. Long live the manual gearbox. ☺👋👍

If I was 15 years younger it would have been on my shortlist for sure! I fondly remember buying my first WRX brand new in 2011. Back then it had the wide-body with a 2.5l Turbo and the spinning up of the turbo and the waste-gate whistling when you changed gears was just intoxicating! Well engineered and fun car if you're looking for something a bit different to the norm. The All-wheel drive and the sound of the boxer engine is a huge plus! Nice to see that the WRX has also grown up, but it certainly aged better than me! Nice review, thank you.

Normally there's two modes to deactivating traction control. Pressing vs holding down the button for a few seconds.

I had a 2.5 STi, in black back in the day...it drank fuel like a hobo from Mitchell's Plain but a tank of fuel then was cheaper than a mortgage payment...went even better when you added octane booster with every tank of fuel...many arguments happened between myself and my boss over my monthly fuel bill...(I was a rep in Jhb back then...)

Wish they gave Ash a proper track rather to test this one. Would have liked to hear his thoughts on the CVT there. Everyone one else so far in reviews had the manual. People really hate on CVTs, but in the real world, if you daily a car like this, that Subaru CVT is a dream. Wish we knew what one is like if you really get going though..

It's a pity that Subaru aren't bringing put an STI version of the new WRX. The New WRX has very stiff competition and is competing with it's German rivals. Also the performance isn't that outstanding. It's well specved and represents good value for money.

Back when I was a pimply teenager, I had a huge poster of the Hawkeye sti on my wall....next to a poster of Anna kournikova. I can safely say I ogled that Sti more than Anna. With this current Subaru, I'd rather look at a bare wall. Subaru has lost the plot years ago. They've taken a brand and designed it for Riaan Cruywagen type of crowd. Yawn.

It was really funny to see Ash struggling to find the words to justify the production of this car, especially at that price point for such little power. Its not like it was reengineered to be much lighter to justify the power to price, Subarus used to be fun powerful cars... sad that its a fading "legacy"
