Why it stands out
The 2021 Subaru WRX is well-regarded for its engaging driving dynamics and sporty design, making it a standout choice among compact performance sedans. It features a turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer engine that delivers an impressive 268 horsepower, ensuring brisk acceleration and sharp cornering. While many vehicles in the compact segment strive for refinement, the WRX prioritizes driving enjoyment, offering standard all-wheel drive for enhanced performance in varied conditions. The sporty aesthetic is complemented by practical features like a comfortable four-seat layout, though it may sacrifice some comfort and cabin quality compared to competitors like the Volkswagen GTI. While its interior may feel outdated, especially in terms of technology, the driving experience remains exceptional. With an expert rating of 7.17, it’s clear that the WRX caters to those who value performance over luxury.

Great car all around. Clutch is stiff and the bite point is high, so it was an adjustment coming from something that was the opposite. Very quick, very little lag in the turbo. Feels faster than it is which makes it fun. Cobb intake was already installed at purchase (low miles though) had to tune to account for it but made the car feel smoother and more responsive. Likely will be upgrading further, but not pushing too far to failure.

I have the Limited. It has most everything I needed. Would like to have had power Front passenger seat. I would have been happy with the Base model which costs a lot less - however, none were available. Compared it to Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai Veloster. This car has what I wanted most; an manual transmission.
