I disagree with three things... 1. I like the 80's feel of the shifter. I want to feel the car shift. I love the proud moment when I claim the perfect shift. There is a learning curve but once mastered its a great feeling of accomplishment and a more thorough relationship formed with your vehicle. 2. I'm larger in size than both of these guys at 6 foot 3 inches and 270 lbs. I love these seats. They just fit like a glove and are some of the more comfortable seats I have ever used. Especially on extended road trips for 3+ hours of seat time. Plenty of leg room here as well. As someone who's usually uncomfortable in most cars I couldn't be happier with the seats in this vehicle. 3. This is a beautiful car. Maybe its just a matter of taste but every angle is just gorgeous to me! The functional Hood scoop, the wing and quad exhaust tips just absolutely beckon to be admired. First time Subaru owner here. I am extremely happy with my purchase! Just a different opinion I wanted to share for anyone considering buying one.

I changed my mind. The seats are nice after all. I weigh 240 pounds and am 6 even. yes, they are under bolstered and yes you rattle around in them a bit too much when you are putting your foot into it but the thing is... they are comfortable. My expectations when I first bought my 2014 plasma blue pearl sedan was a rip your face off rocket when what it really is is a super sweet do all road carver for an adult. Shit! I like the seats now and so does my wife and my passengers.My feelings for this car have evolved and I now understand my wrx like only an owner can. No its not a circuit king in stock form, it's more of a jack of all trades. It's pretty sweet when you can go off road and transition to tarmac without a thought. Finally, i get plenty of thumbs up and a lot of people asking me how I like it. They want one as much as I did before I owned one. Great great car.

Bought a new WRX sedan in Feb and I really love this car! Sticker was 27,777 and I ended up getting for 25,700. I basically test drove every sedan on the market that was under $30k, Seats are a little uncomfortable, tranny takes some time to dial in and a nice dark window tinting does multitudes for the looks of the car. I've always been a Chevy guy, love the LS engines but this WRX has blown me away for being an all around fun and functional vehicle. Great review guys!

We realize that the downsides of most any car can be addressed with aftermarket tuning and changes. The WRX is one of the best examples of what's possible. But we test cars in their stock form as that is the way the manufacturers choose to sell it to the public - the only common "base line", if you will. And we get cars from the manufacturers spec'd in the way they'd like them reviewed. As a result, we discuss the good and bad of every car in stock form. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I bought the WRX and the very first thing i changed was the shifter. They weren't lying when they said it had really long throws.. As far as it "pushing you away from buying the car", I disagree, spend a couple hundred bucks on a good short shifter and bushings and problem solved! The seats are perfectly fine and im 6"5' at 215 pounds. If anything, they are quite comfortable. This is a GREAT car and there is nothing on the market that gives you that value for money. So glad i bought my WRX :D Nevertheless, Good review!

thefives7ar I don't know why everyone rants on about how "ugly" the WRX is.. From what i've heard and seen, everyone compliments the aesthetics of the car. I personally thing the civic is ugly and grandma like haha. The WRX is aggressive and the wide body poses a very robust image. The car is rally-bred, the civic and ford aren't, and you really notice it when you jump in it every day. I LOVE the boxer engine. It's arguably one of the most reliable engines produced in a 4 cylinder. Not to mention, the rumble! Another thing.. Its Symmetrical AWD.. There is no comparison between AWD and FWD, the difference is night & day. The interior isn't half bad, I have the premium model with leather, sunroof and nav screen, and yes, people compliment the interior! Also, it's nice to sit in every day. The sound system sucks, but i changed that straight away along with the short throw shifter. But at the end of the day, my friend, it really is down to personal preference and what you're after in a car. I've loved subaru's my whole life, so yes, I'm a bit biased.. But there's a reason why they are as popular as they are.. My best advice to you is to test drive one, fall in love and buy one :D Hope this helps buddy.

Both perform brilliantly, but my personal preference, the Evo is an amazing car. Test drive both of them, no matter which one you buy, you will walk away with a smile on your face.

It is really too bad your WRX did not have the sub $300 short shifter in it. It makes a huge difference with the manual. Throws are much more short and less vague, it really is the best mod for the car outside of some $300 front and rear sway bars that reduce understeer and body roll. If you do those two things for about $600 or so, it really makes a big difference. Oh, and get a good alignment before either of those things :)

I have a 2.5L 2001 Subaru Legacy GT Limited and I am in love with it. Of course I wouldn't mind if it had more power than its current 165HP, but it's an absolute pleasure to drive. And driving in snow makes no difference.

For thanksgiving, I am thankful for Everyday Driver. Keep up the great work guys! Also novel idea in finding out exactly where the Golf R slots between the wrx and the evo

I own a 2010 wrx and yeah I agree the seats are a back braker and the shifter is too long

Two weeks for part 3 it's a lot of time to wait. I am subscribed to you guys and I could always watch the videos, but I think is better to put the all videos together or have a shorter waiting time.

Stop hating on the subaru "everydaydriver"

No hate here - as you may have noticed, the WRX does very well in this comparison. We've done plenty of reviews on Subaru product and it shows us as big fans of the WRX. However, we do call out the good and bad of every car, as no car is perfect. We hope you heard the positives mentioned here, and not just the negative things you might not agree with. Thanks for watching!

These cars aren't real competitors on price here in Australia. The WRX retailed at $39995, and isn't much more even now. The Golf R retails at $58k. I have a 2009 WRX with the factory 265bhp and factory STi suspension/steering bits, and as a point-to-point car it's very hard to beat in the sub-$15k used car bracket.

I own a 2011 WRX and you are completely correct, stock the transmissions feels like a stick jammed into an over sized marshmellow. Kartboy short shifter kit was 80$ and was a MASSIVE improvement. Shifts are quick and sure now.

I also got a short throw shifter after one month of driving the 2011 WRX. Oh what a difference.

Hey EverydayDriver I was curious as to why you guys didn't use a STI instead of the WRX. I personally Have always wanted a WRX or STI. Which do you guys prefer? Thanks

Its still a good review! I was considering between a new WRX and a used Evo X 2 years ago and this review would have been perfect!

As a matter of fact I am a 2013 WRX STI Sedan owner. The clutch is so light it's amazing how light it is. I grew up driving and drag racing all sorts of Honda Civics, and the STI's clutch I would still consider "light". Get a test drive if you can, be careful though you might end up getting it! Regarding price: shop around. I paid nowhere near MSRP for mine. There's no better car for the money, except maybe the EVO GSR depending on what kind of deal you can get for it. Good luck.

I own a 2012 WRX hatch, limited package, and in my opinion, you are completely wrong about the interior and the look of the car. It's a sharp looking car and stands out compared to other bland cars in its price range. I feel the interior is well designed and simple, there are some cheap materials but I think Subaru pulled it off. The STI just adds to the style, and is worth the premium by the way. You're right about the gear box though, that's why i got the short throw, but it's still clunky.

Get the STI short throw shift option direct from subaru when you buy this car, it costs a tiny $295 and it should solve most shifting issues

The Subaru WRX/WRX STI are beautiful cars IMO. Best looking sedans out there.

I love the look of the newer hatch WRX/STI's, but I've heard the interior needs help.. and that's where we spend all of our time.
