We drive and review the new 2024 Subaru WRX TR, the bridge between the old STI and WRX. With performance improvements and a better interior, this is an excellent alternative to the Elantra N, GR Corolla, and Civic Type R. While it may not be the most modern vehicle it still connects on many levels.

  • 74% take rate on manual transmission. Proud of you fellow Subi-bros.

    People with kids buy the WRX. Imagine if they brought back the WRX Wagon....
  • @michaelw6277
    Man I am super happy the WRX has been successful. We need more cars like this to continue to be manufactured.
  • I own a ‘22. Two years, 50k miles, 19 autocross events, two rally cross events, and two track days later, I’m unbelievably happy with this chassis. The kicker? I gave 27k brand new for a base. Can’t beat it.

    I sold Subaru's for a while. I was "The Subaru Guy" at my dealership. I owned a 2018 WRX for a time. I really liked the car, but I wanted the STI every time I drove it. You guys were the ONLY channel that pointed out the exact deficiencies of that vehicle, such as the constant timing pull, gear-shifter feel issues and others. I haven't driven the new one, so I'm extremely happy to see your guys' praise of the new platform. Good for Subaru. I hope they let STI actually do something in the future.

    The value for the money with the WRX can't be ignored. Thanks Geese, you guys are the best.
  • You guys put out the best reviews, and the fact that you talk to the engineers shows them that you guys really care and speak for the entirety of consumer and enthusiasts alike. Props gentlemen
  • @MrJustyjive
    I wish subaru would listen to us all & bring the hatch back.
  • I did a double take when I was going south on RT 47. Passed you both when you were sitting on the corner of Conely waiting to turn. As always, great video!
  • @onomamou77
    I daily a 2022 wrx limited. At 56yo, having owned a wide variety of cars, I can enthusiastically say this is my favorite car to date. Such an engaging daily drivers car. I already have 50k miles on it and it has been rock solid. I hope the TR is still available in a couple of years, I’ll definitely be upgrading to it. Great honest and accurate review!
  • Thank you guys for this video, it follows the quality standard you set. I work in a national park where it's mostly gravel roads or snow roads during winter, and our parking lots are filled with these new WRXs. I think they simply listened to their customers.
  • @alexcoyg3281
    WRX sti vs EVO was one of my fav imaginary battles, I will always have a soft spot for WRX
  • I love my ‘22 WRX. I got it under MSRP, it’s a blast to drive, the AWD is invincible , it is incredibly easy to live with, and it really has no big faults.

    I could not be happier

    The best part of this value proposition is its 1980s style matte black cladding.
  • @GrappIer
    Ive had a TMIC, Intake, Charge Pipe, Catback and a custom e-tune on my 2022 wrx immediately after I bought it in 2022, I make about 350/350 and have had 0 problems, the car is solid and is an amazing daily.
  • @domteewhy52
    They are a hatchback version away from me making another poor financial decision. Great video 👍🏼
  • @JustAnotherHo
    The WRX is probably the best entry level performance vehicle on the market. It might be the only one in its category. Very little at the low 30s has this performance. I appreciate that this still exists.
  • @jasonmoyer
    I love my VB, I've never been happier with a fun/quick/practical daily, but I wouldn't have paid $40k for it. This year's pricing just reinforces how much of an insane deal the BRZ is.
  • This is the most positive I've heard Mark speak about a new car in a long time. Coming from any other journalist it would be a glowing review!
  • @sxlx
    Everytime I drive past a VB I expect to see someone in my age group (20s). But instead, I see a lot more moms and grandmas drive around in this gen. It's pretty hilarious as it's completely unexpected.
