I think the short shifter is a must have option.

I have owned one of these for a year and the car has been a blast. Had my doubts on how comfortable would it be for roadtrips and it exceeded my expectations. Gas mileage is kinda terrible in the city but if your commute is mostly highway it actually does pretty well.

I rented one through Turo and loved it. All this controversy could mean an actual discount in a world of mark-ups. Once it gets wireless Carplay I’m in.

I can see why people dont like this generation, i didnt at first. But after owning one its definitely a keeper

This is my dream car!! Terrific review Ben.

I love my 2022 wrx and can’t wait to try out another in the future

I was on the fence when I first saw video of this car but when you see the dark Subie blue GR in person....looks pretty freaking sweet 😎 drives great too.

If the tire pressure is set right, the ride is firm but not punishing. If you test drive one of these, know that they usually have too much air in the tires. I lowered the tires 5-6 psi at the dealership to the factory spec, test drove it again, and bought it. And I agree with Ben, I really like the transmission- provided that it's warmed up.

I own this identical car and color. It’s a pleasure to drive and very responsive in third and fourth gear.

I'm getting a grey 2023 WRX on Friday. Can't freaking wait. I currently drive a 2020 Honda Civic Si Coupe and what I'm looking forward to the most in this car (from what I've been hearing) is no rev hang. Drives me absolutely bonkers in the Si (one of the reasons I'm trading it in). I think I'll enjoy this car a lot better. This car looks like a blast to drive and I can't wait to officially own one Friday.

I wish they make a 5 door like before so it can be both practical and fun. Now I have to choose between practicality and fun.

"It's a real nice deep-throaty sound"

I traded in my TRX on a 22 Limited Feb 12th. Completely different but I am enjoying how nimble and comfortable it is. Pretty affordable in comparison as well :-)

[joshb]

I had that exhaust on mine, and I couldn’t last a week with it. So much drone. It sounds good in this video though.

It's take about a year but the fender flares have grown on me ...

[aaromon]

i test drove a 2022 brz & wrx back to back last week after lusting after both cars for years. the brz feels gutless in comparison and just made a lot of noise without going anywhere, was also super stiff, MUCH harder to see out of, and it just generally left a sour taste in my mouth. crazy because the brz looks incredible from the outside, but all that really matters is how it drives.

[gladdy]

Apparently these aren't selling well. I see them in person and they don't look bad but for me, that plastic cladding, horrible infortainment screen, and poor fuel economy is 3 strikes and it's out 👎🏿

[Lumenez]

Id love a manual car again. But after moving to Dallas, I can't do it. I would have knee pain from all the stop and go traffic on the clutch 🤣

[jayczyzyk]

what really helps out the hp is that 392 jeep

The fender flairs make the car look like it's floating. (Takes bow)
