Does the Auto Suck? - Subaru WRX Review

The CVT transmission has been a debated choice among the new 2015 WRX and I finally got to see it first hand. And to be honest, I wasn't too disappointed (for an auto). Have a great week Bros!

if you feel like your sexuality is affected by the transmission of your car, well, you need to reevaluate yourself and your sexuality

[Neel-]

As an owner of a WRX CVT, there is too much ignorance in these comments from people who have never even driven it.

I think Subaru should have gone with dual clutch in the auto wrx

[VizVisuals]

I have the CVT and I know it gets SO MUCH hate, and I can understand why. And I do agree that the the Manual is the better choice when it comes to experiencing the true WRX appeal. BUT people don't understand why people may NEED an automatic and still want the fun driving experience. I have been doing nothing but loving the WRX even with a CVT, I have zero problems, I fill up way less, and for a road trip car, way more practical. Although I do understand, you don't buy a wrx to be comfortable lol.

The new gen WRXs are super quick mid 5sec cars...Neither cvt or the Manual should be- disrespected.

My Grandma actually bought these not too long ago. (Seriously lol) she's cool as hell. She used to drive stick but wanted a faster automatic car than her old daily. Everytime I see her she tells me she's been gapping every manual owner. I love her humor and I also love her to death. Cherish what makes you happy. I doubt any haters have a grandma cooler than mine with a gnarly past ROFL

[mpmandeep]

I'm getting this for sure. I'm not a racer but i just love how it looks and the fact that it has power. I'm not going into a fucking rally

[EKCPeacekeepin]

I won't hate on any Subie.. Like what you like.  Drive what  you like.  Everyone has different tastes.  I personally like the rumble of the unequal length headers but that's my preference. I don't think everyone should have the same thing as everyone else.

Seeing honest and informed reviews like this makes me feel better about wanting the CVT model. (North Jersey rush hour traffic; I grew up on automatic cars.)

[rollingfury]

Thank you for reviewing the CVT. I can't operate a clutch because of a disability and have been wanting to hear how this transmission performs.

[LukeFishaar]

Nothing wrong with a corolla, i actually dont mind the automatic wrx looks nice, sounds nice, and goes fast.

[Leeoh]

I used to think the corolla thing too, but I feel like I was just going with the crowd, but it's honestly my favorite now and I'm obsessed with it. The front end looks so mean imo.

Ok guys this is getting out of hand. Yes its an automatic, yes its a WRX with a STI wing. Just get over it! Maybe thats what he wanted or thats all he could get. I don't understand why all of you need to go around bagging on other peoples likes. I know this kid and he absolutely loves his car. You do understand until you try it. No more need to be ignorant and get over it.

[reggy]

My best friend has the 15 WRX with the CVT and I can say it is no slouch... People will hate on it just because its a subaru wrx without a manual, let me tell you that this thing will put down power and a lot better than a manual can as you don't need to shift whatsoever therefore eliminating the pause between changes. The way this thing puts down power is incredible! And it Everybody comparing this CVT to others from completely different cars and haven't driven one haven't got a clue. I feel like subaru made a great choice by putting this in the WRX.

CVT is actually very nice. Esp if u drive most of the time within city (no hassle changin gears), everyone in ur family can drive just in case. In I-Mode on highways it can get decent fuel economy and finally CVT gives better track times than manual.

[shannonl]

i love this wrx cvt and I'm currently saving for it. it's so much more practical for someone that sits in traffic daily like I do.

[renzoortega]

I have the 2015 WRX auto. I enjoy it every time I drive it. Is manual more fun, of course it is. However this car is fun too

[scottgriffith]

I don't care that it's an automatic that's right I said it

[DeFazioNJ]

I feel bad for TJ, that the comments on most of his videos are asinine garbage/trolling. I mean, you're all arguing about transmissions. People will buy what they want to buy, and the inane drivel on here won't change minds. Do any of you really care what other people spend their money on? Go outside. Read a book. Date someone. Jesus.

That middle finger paddle switching though 😏
