Is it worth buying a Subaru WRX with automatic transmission?
Ask almost any Subaru WRX enthusiast and they will tell you that cars with automatic transmissions are lame. That’s because having a manual transmission and being able to shift to the next gear at redline is key when it comes to racing, and it also makes the daily drive more fun.
Are there any Subaru cars that still have a manual transmission?
Subaru Corporation is an automaker with five models in its lineup, tying Toyota with the most cars still offering a manual transmission. Subaru still offers the manual shifter in the 2021 Crosstrek, Impreza, WRX, WRX STI, and 2020 BRZ. They dropped it in the Forester, Outback, and Legacy in the last five years.
Is the 2017 Subaru WRX all wheel drive?
The Lineartronic CVT is better than any we’ve encountered, but the base-model WRX with the manual transmission is a strong value. The 2017 Subaru WRX and WRX STI are astonishing all-wheel-drive performers for the price, with good space and all season capability, but their looks and interiors aren’t up to the driving engagement.
What’s the 60 mph time on a Subaru WRX?
In MotorTend’s review of the 2015 Subaru WRX with the CVT, the car got to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, as compared to a similarly-tested WRX with a manual, which achieved a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds. The CVT version also ran a half-second slower than the manual in the quarter-mile.
Is the 2017 Subaru WRX a good car?
Amazing turbo noises and great Subaru quality. I have owned my 2017 WRX for a few months now. The overall quality of the vehicle is great and it shows in how well it drives and handles.
What kind of mpg does a Subaru WRX get?
My WRX gets between 30 to 35 mpg if I can stay off it and if I want to have some fun the AWD and turbo do a great deal to help make it a blast. I have had no issues with reliability but as a mechanic I do recommend being gentle on the transmission because it is the weakest point in the drive train.
Do you need winter tires for a Subaru WRX?
If you get street tires for the summer, get winter tires for the winter because street tires are unsafe for the winter. Handling does not decrease if you get winter tires. It is fast but the rev lag kills your shifting. I love manual transmission. I hate the rev lag shifting into second.
