The 2024 Subaru WRX range of configurations is currently priced from $42,000.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Subaru WRX resulted in a score of 7.9 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: Over three decades the WRX has matured into a more grown-up, refined performance package.It’s fast with excellent dynamics, yet comfortable. Safety’s top-shelf, it’s well screwed together and the value equation stacks up. Rear seat headroom could be better and service costs are on the high side for the category. But I just love the way this car puts you in control.

The Subaru WRX 2024 prices range from $41,470 for the basic trim level Sedan (AWD) to $62,700 for the top of the range Wagon TS (awd).
The WRX RS is powered by a 2.4-litre, horizontally opposed four-cylinder, turbo-intercooled petrol engine developing 202kW/350Nm. The all-alloy unit features direct-injection and dual variable valve timing, its relatively flat design lowering the car’s centre of gravity significantly.
Subaru doesn’t quote a 0-100km/h figure for the WRX but expect it to come up in the high five-second bracket. Maximum speed is 250km/h.
Subaru doesn’t offer a towbar for the WRX, and there isn’t any on offer in the aftermarket. There is talk of a towbar being made available at some point in the future, but at the moment there’s no provision for towing with the WRX.

While there are ways to make your Mazda 3 quite fast it is not cheap or easy, and will require extensive involvement from experts. You would be far better served to look for a second-hand factory turbocharged high-performance Mazda MPS model, or buying a Subaru WRX, or Volkswagen Golf GTI, to get your high-performance kicks.

Aside from the standard performance and safety tech, at a minimum the WRX features dual-zone climate control air, adaptive cruise control, 18-inch alloy wheels, sports front seats, auto dusk-sensing LED headlights, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, six-speaker audio, auto rain-sensing wipers, an 11.6-inch multimedia touchscreen and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The WRX’s cabin treatment is a fairly busy mix of sharpish angles and shallow curves, the dash dominated by an 11.6-inch, portrait-oriented multimedia screen with a separate instrument pod for the driver next to it. The colour palette is mid-grey to black, sports front seats look and feel good and the overall standard of fit and finish is high.

The Subaru WRX is a five-seater with ample room in the front and in the back there’s good foot room, ample legroom but sitting straight, taller people will likely experience a head-to-roof interface in terms of headroom.
Boot capacity for the WRX sedan is 414 litres for the base car and 411 litres for the RS model. The Sportswagon expands that to 492 litres (rear seat up) and 909 litres (rear seat folded).
Theoretical range for the WRX manual sedan is around 635km and roughly 740km for the CVT auto sedan and Sportswagon.
