No real issues with my car. Great acceleration and features. Hooks up nicely to my phone using Bluetooth. The design is very well done and the ride is smooth. Has 3 different settings for engine power. Highly recommend using the best gas to fill up with. Do not use regular gas.

Honest review for the 2019 Subaru WRX base model.
Pros: plenty of parts/upgrades available. Hugs turns. Performance is well worth the low price. Spacious interior. Stylish interior. Beautiful body curves and lines. Spacious trunk (at least 2 bodies can fit). Folding back seats. Cons: sometimes in first gear, your rpms drop during take off. It is some computer malfunction within the programming of the car (I believe they fixed this problem with the 2020 model.). Base model does not even have a powered drivers seat. Features are non existent.

My Subaru has red decals and turbo.
My car drives fast fresh off the lot and the cost is cheap to maintain it if you take good care of your car. It had a sleek but not fragile look and is also very diverse. Newer standards are harder to drive but my Subaru has been one of the easier ones.

Some goods and bad points of the Subaru WRX.
In the year and a half that I have owned my WRX I have learned to love it more and more. The ride is a little out the stiffer side, as that is to be expected in this type of car. Performance wise it is a blast to drive and the fact it is a stick makes it even better! The AWD system is wonderful and grips the road in any weather! Things that I do not like about the car are the stock head unit is very laggy and takes a 10-15 seconds to work once starting the car, which can be annoying when the volume is loud. I would also recommend investment in some winter tires as the WRX comes stock with a softer street tire and is not ideal for winter weather.

The best car out at the moment.
No problems at all with my car, it is amazing one of the best investments I have ever made for one and two it is an all around sports car that I can make upgrades too. Handles amazing in the snow and rain you can never go wrong, not only is it fast but the handling cause of four wheel drive is perfect.

My 2019 Subaru WRX sti, my favorite car I have owned.
I pretty much love every aspect surrounding my 2019 Subaru WRX sti limited. I love the culture in the realm of motorsports and media. The performance is fun and you can really make it your own car. The only downside would be poor gas mileage and depending on where you live, high insurance costs.

Great car! Good performance and the all wheel drive makes it great!
I like that it is all wheel drive. The gas mileage could be better. I have drive subaru’s for a while now and have never had any mechanical issues. The car feels safe and performs well. I like the designs of the ascent and new Forrester. Subaru’s are solid.

Fun car to drive with great handling.
I purchased the 2019 Subaru WRX after reading reviews about it from countless sources. It meets my expectations and is an excellent vehicle for a driver that likes great handling, performance, and a quicker than usual car. It is a bit loud on the highway, and the stock speakers that come with it are well below average. I upgraded the speakers immediately. The touch screen entertainment is great and the base model car looks aggressive and attracts eyes.

Love my awesome Subaru WRX!
Love my Subaru! Very comfortable, has heated seats, dimming rear view mirror for nighttime driving, and back up camera. Dislikes would be terrible sound system and it is expensive. I have always loved Subaru but wish it still had the Subaru sound like they used to.

In summary the 2019 Subaru WRX is a fun, reliable, and usable daily.
Problems: none so far. (fingers crossed.). Performance: the WRX is a fine performance vehicle that does not focus too heavy on the performance side. The perfect middle ground between daily and track use. Sti is the car you want for more performance focus than daily. Reliability: best car I have had in years in terms of not breaking down on me or having major recalls. Comfort: since this is a middle car being track/daily focus in mind it has stiffer suspension. Features: again this is a track/daily car. The basic features are there but do not expect much more.

Subaru is awesome and amazing.
I absolutely love my car. I so far have not had any issues with the car. It has amazing power, handling, and control. The only thing that would make it better would be a better stereo system in the car. Having some base in the stereo. I love the interior it is very comfortable and super nice. I love my car it is super amazing and perfect.

Automatic WRX was a great option for me.
The Subaru WRX was a great decision for me. While standard is manual, I purchased the CVT automatic as I am a commuter. My criteria for car buying was price, practicality, and level of fun. Price ended up being a bit above my budget, but the compromise of a fun drivers car with the safety of Subaru and the reliable AWD, it was a good choice for me.

A Lot of Value and Very Few Annoyances for the Money
Overall, I feel very safe in this car and the fun factor and reliability is very high. My issues are with the stock Head Unit (radio) that won't retain my favorite radio station settings and the engine rev hang between the 1st and 2nd gears. Fortunately, I believe the Head Unit issue is firmware related and fixable. The rev hang issue is a training issue (taking the car to an empty parking lot and training to shift from 1st to 2nd until getting used to it. OR, you could roll the dice (on your warranty) and get an Access Port and apply an off-the-shelf or pro tune to the car as a workaround. Neither issue takes away from the overall awesomeness of the WRX as a go-anywhere-do-anything with a smile vehicle. My 2 pennies...

2091 WRX series. Gray a unique colored sports car.
My WRX is a fun car to drive! It is fast, handles very well in many conditions. Has all wheel drive so it does well in harsh winter conditions. I have taken multiple 6+ hour trips in the car and was comfortable the whole way. It has awesome technology features, my favorite is the apple carplay/ android auto capabilities as my model does not have navigation built into it.

My dream car. The car I have always wanted.
My 2019 Subaru WRX STI doesn't yet have any issues. It's all wheel drive so I believe it to be a reliable choice. It has alcantara and leather seats, black with red trim Which gives it a great stylish look. It's design with functional spoiler makes for great handling. I love the Android auto and apple CarPlay addition to this year model. I always have fun driving it and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off.

2019 Subaru WRX, best car I have owned.
I have had zero problems with this car. Probably the most fun I have ever had driving. Corners and handles like a dream. Throttle response is amazing. Handles very well in the rain. I would recommend upgrading to the recaro seats, well worth the money. Would totally recommend ten out of ten.

Very fast, heavy clutch..
Everything is spectacular and I couldn't have asked for anything better. It is a very fast car just based off of the stock model but is easy to add modes to make its faster and louder. The seats are extremely comfortable. The clutch is kind of heavy so I do not recommend it to people that are just learning how to drive stick.

Little changes would be big improvements.
Just had to get the ac compressor replaced. Not enough useful storage inside vehicle. Great handling and acceleration. Annoying that the CD player automatically plays. Seat heater buttons are not placed in an easy to use while driving position. Like that it is android auto capable.

Fun to drive and very easy to live with.
Breaks could be better. Pick up is really good though it does not start building boost until 2nd gear. There are occasionally problems with having my phone connect to the Bluetooth. The power train controller has had to be replaced though it was under warranty. The service plan through the dealer is a good buy as oil changes run about $80 to do them yourself.

2019 Subaru WRX mid-range power.
Paint is low quality and chips easily, turbo lag is very noticeable. Craftsmanship is lower quality than Toyota comparatively. The AWD system is amazing and the car is very safe. I have had no reliability issues with my Subaru at all. I would probably buy a Toyota next though.

This car was the race car domesticated for the public road.
This car is super fun drive and feels like you driving an actual car. Steering, braking, style, safety and performance are a good balance, but there is a slight rev hang between gears that can get bothersome. Other than that, a definitely well worth car.

I love the ability to switch the vehicle into manual and use paddle shifters!
My Subaru has exceeded my expectations through and through. The car is comfortable, fuel efficient, and has significant power under the hood! It travels well through all weather conditions, rain & snow, no matter where! I am looking forward to keeping this car for several years.

Love it, and so will you!
This car is driven for smiles per gallon. I love the feel of it behind the wheel and I love the car community I am suddenly a part of. It sounds great even without aftermarket exhaust. The sound system is awesome. I would highly recommended it to any new car buyer. It's the best deal money can buy for a sporty and affordable car.

The sporty 2019 Subaru Impreza Turbo
The 2019 WRX is a nice sporty car that is tamed by the government regulations. Otherwise this has a long lasting engine and is very capable daily driver. The sound system could use replacement but is decent for the price. The all wheel drive is always a plus with Subaru and really holds its own in the mountains and canyons.

The car is exactly what I thought it would be and exactly what I wanted.
No problems with my 2019 Subaru WRX sti. Fast fun car. Can handle corners very well and the gearing is buttery smooth. Handles great in rain and snow. Leather interior is beautifully crafted and the steering wheel is phenomenal. The 2019 comes with forged internals making the engine stronger and more reliable than previous years.

Fun road going rally car!
No issues, the performance of the sti is awesome! Base seats are comfortable enough I'd take a trip although the suspension is probably a bit rough for most. Interior is very nice but falls behind in comparison to other newly refreshed Subaru models.

The best CVT transmission to drive.
The car is amazing. All of the features in the car is great. One of the best features in the CVT models is the avh. Especially when your used to driving automatic cars the avh (auto vehicle hold) allows you to go through drive thru and turn on the feature to allow you to test your feet while you wait to move. The best feature in the car. Along with how smooth the car drives and how it handles.

We love our Subaru WRX sti it looks and feels great!
The car drives great. Although the clutch was a little tricky at first. The seats are fairly comfortable unless you are on a long trip. The bucket seats are not great at supporting your back for long road trips. The car handles really well in all terrain.
