Is the 2022 Subaru WRX a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Subaru WRX earns a 4.9/5 user rating and a 6.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

The review summary also points to driving sophistication and versatility, which fits a car that can handle both daily commuting and more enthusiastic driving.

Is the 2022 Subaru WRX reliable?

Subaru also says the first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that enthusiast use can mean harder driving and more wear, so condition matters a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru WRX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been modified or driven hard. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of wear that could point to enthusiastic ownership.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim gets a more unusual dual 7-inch screen setup, while premium-trim and higher models get the 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen. Base and Premium trims also miss out on blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Powertrain: The WRX uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder with 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual is available, and the CVT is offered as the Subaru Performance Transmission.
• Safety package: CVT-equipped models come standard with Subaru’s EyeSight suite, which includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, automatic steering assist, and an electronic brake booster. Manual models do not get EyeSight, and base and Premium trims also miss blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: Premium-trim and higher WRX models get an 11.6-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, but the integration is imperfect, and the base trim uses stacked dual 7-inch displays instead.
• Fuel efficiency: Subaru says the WRX should return 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. On the test drive, it returned just over 20 mpg.

Which 2022 Subaru WRX trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru WRX is offered in 4 trim levels: base, Premium, Limited, GT.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point if you want the WRX experience at the lowest cost, but it comes with the simpler dual 7-inch display setup and misses the extra driver-assistance features found higher up.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the 11.6-inch touchscreen and brings more of the WRX’s modern tech without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• Limited: This trim is the better pick if you want the added safety hardware, since it includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• GT: This is the most feature-rich version, with Recaro seats, electronically controlled dampers, and Drive Mode Select, but it is CVT-only and aimed at buyers who want the most equipment.

If safety features matter most, the Limited and GT are the trims to target because they add the extra driver-assistance hardware that lower trims lack.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru WRX?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,066 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.66% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 77.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,241, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru WRX's resale value?

The current average of $25,241 sits slightly below last year's $27,041.

That softer pricing suggests the WRX has become a little more buyer-friendly in the used market, which can help you if you are shopping now. For a future seller, it means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained. Well-kept examples should still draw interest because the WRX has a strong enthusiast following and a clear performance identity.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Subaru WRX safe?

The 2022 Subaru WRX earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

CVT-equipped models come standard with Subaru’s EyeSight suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, which includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, automatic steering assist, and an electronic brake booster. Manual models do not get EyeSight, and base and Premium trims also miss blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.

That trim-and-transmission split is the biggest safety caveat to keep in mind. If safety tech matters to you, you will want to pay close attention to which transmission and trim you are considering.

Should I buy a 2022 Subaru WRX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.66% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It sharpens the WRX formula with improved powertrain, suspension, and technology.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,214, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $25,241 average.
• It emphasizes everyday engagement and standard all-wheel drive.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $27,276, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $25,241 average.
• It keeps the same fourth-generation formula with base, Premium, Limited, and GT trims.

The bottom line: If you want the updated WRX formula with strong enthusiast appeal, the 2022 is the right target. If price matters most, the 2021 is the cheaper path into the same basic idea, while the 2023 makes sense only if you want to pay more for a newer model-year example.
