2024 Subaru WRX GT AWD Full Tour & Review

If you want the top trim of the 2024 Subaru WRX you have to go with the CVT/Automatic transmission. Is this the end for the manual transmission as we know it?

This week Victor is behind the wheel of the 2024 Subaru WRX GT, the new top-end trim for this compact sports sedan. Gone are the hatchbacks, STIs, and soon manual transmissions. While you can get the 6MT on the other WRX trims, this GT comes fully loaded with the Subaru Performance Transmission, a fancy way to say CVT. In Canada, this transmission is also available as an option on the Sport trim.

Victor goes over the exterior design of this new generation WRX and how it's changed the opinions of enthusiasts. He discusses the technical details of this vehicle including the 2.4L Boxer-4 turbo engine, suspension set up, and other important tech specs. He jumps into the back seats and front seats and talks about the overall interior of the 2024 Subaru WRX.

Next he hits the road on a very rainy weekday to discuss the drive, ride, and handling of the 2024 Subaru WRX GT along with his overall thoughts on this vehicle from an enthusiast's perspective.

Car enthusiasts don’t like CVT’s and like hatchbacks What does Subaru do? Give enthusiasts a CVT and a sedan. 🤣

I like how the car looks. The new offroad Lamborghini reminds me of this car

I got the CVT and it's awesome. It still allows you to play around with the paddles behind the wheel, while still being perfectly comfortable as a daily car.
Also the CVT torque is distributed 55% to the back wheels, which makes it fun in the winter.
The only thing a manual allows is aggressive launch and handbrake turns. The stuff you wouldn't need that often if you drive this as a daily car.
But the subaru purists would always argue it should be a manual 😂
Just go test drive this car, its not your rally car anymore. Its something else.

There is no point in giving a wrx a cvt. I'd be looking for an entirely different car at that point. I'd buy a forester. My 23 wrx is the best daily ever, driving manual isn't a hassle, its pure enjoyment.
