>buying an automatic WRX

>>14961585
the biggest buyer's remorse I've ever gotten was the aftermath of buying a 2009 STI which was a year old with 8k miles at the time. I bought it because I had heard so many things about how well they perform but they had left out that it had the build quality of a 90's Kia and had more squeaks and rattles than my Jeep with 280k. it was a giant piece of shit with paint softer than butter and when I sold it a year later with 28k, the hood and both rear quarter panels were already starting to rust just from one Wisconsin winter. Subarus are junk. seriously.

Yeah that's been about my experience too. I love the car, but god damn I wish it'd shut up on the interior. I don't even care that the interior is "cheap" looking and all plastic, I just get irritated from all the little noises. And my front end is dotted with a million chips from Arizona highways.

>>14961732
yeah they might as well paint their cars with fucking watercolors and a brush. I've owned two dozen cars and never had anything else with paint half as bad as that STI even though it was one of the newest cars I'd owned. complete disappointment.

>>14961920
I never understood this whole shitty interior thing. Sure it's not the best interior, but it's fine for what it is. If you want a $30k car with nice interior buy a C-class. The WRX is a car built for performance.

I drive one, it's good. The build quality is a lot better than previous generations, I have 6k miles on mine and there's no squeaks or rattles yet. It's also one of the few new cars with good visibility.

The CVT is ass but so is the 6-speed manual tb honest. It's the same shitty WRX gearbox with a super tall sixth gear jammed inside. The first three gears are super notchy, and not in a good way. 4th, 5th, and 6th feel really rubbery and numb.

>>14961922

>>14964274
You're forgetting Op wants to buy the ultra luxurious CVT. That's gonna bring the price up to $30k.

I bought a 2016 WRX in auto and I don't regret it one bit, OP.

I've held it at the redline numerous times and I haven't noticed any rev limiting kicking in, so I wouldn't be afraid of the transmission feeling like a slushbox.

Frankly, I can't be fucked to row gears up Stockton in SF ten times a week, because that shit got real old in my E39 M5. The CVT just performs like a good planetary automatic, so you're not going to be getting any of the "muh feels" shit, but it's your choice. Frankly, the biggest downside of the auto is that it's a 1200 buck upgrade.

Anyway, hit me up if you have any other questions about the WRX.

>>14964759
Op here, thanks for that opinion.

I might just get the WRX now.

>>14964759
Oh btw does your car rattle or shake on the interior?
I heard Subaru is doing very well at fixing that problem with the 2016 model.

>>14964665
30k is exactly where my price range is.

>>14964903

The dash had a slight rattle above the instrument cluster, so I just tightened the screws on the underside of the dash and it stopped. Haven't heard any rattling since. If you're beating the hell out of it, the fuel pump sometimes has the characteristic cricket "chirp" that you get on BRZs after some heavy driving, but I only hear it about once every two months or so. I've been thinking about upgrading the tires to some Pilot Super Sports instead of the stock Dunlop All-Seasons, because the PSSes are supposed to be marginally better at noise/vibration/harshness. It's not a quiet car by any means, but it's not super harsh like the STi is.

You can get a new Mustang GT that will blow that piece of jap crap the fuck out and an interior that doesn't fall apart.

Op here again, I really should have mentioned that I am going to be putting on a Megaflow

No, you're getting it because your parents are shit and didn't teach you to drive a manual. Blame them for your cuckery.

OP here, just to let everyone know that i'm ignoring pretty much everyone
that is saying get a manual. Getting an automatic is my choice; I don't really give a fuck.
I know /o/ will cry and bitch about anything automatic, so all comments are just disregarded.

>>14965527
You're still a faggot for not keeping your current car. You made a bad decision so you should live with it. It won't kill you to wait a while.

>>14965527
Pro-tip: the CVT has 8 programmed "gears" that you can change with dem flappy paddles. Reviewers say it's pretty good even for being a CVT

>>14965577

I'm not a manual purist, but I test drove the 2016 WRX with the automatic CVT and it was really underwhelming. It feels like your driving a faster than average Toyota Carola instead of a performance car with rally heritage. A manual MK7 GTI felt way more fun to drive even though it had less power. Even the BRZ "felt" faster even though it wasn't.

The stick is a must if you care at all about having a fun time driving. I can't remember if it's the same for the WRX CVT, but the CVT paddles in my 2016 Forester XT will shift for you if you try to hold a gear for too long.

>>14965857

In the WRX you can just move the stick to manual only and it'll hold redline as long as you're willing to put that much stress on the drivetrain. I do hope you used the sport mode on your test drive, because it's true that the base setting will feel very anemic; it's only really there for mpg reasons.

I'm in Canada and have been trying to decide on my next car. I'll share some of my research with you even though you're probably American:

>2016 Impreza WRX ~$30,000
>2016 Golf GTI (2 Door) ~$29,000
>2016 Impreza WRX STI ~$38,000
>2016 Golf R ~$40,000
(All base models)

The MK7 GTI is an awesome car, but for it to really be competitive with the other options it needs the limited slip differential that comes with the optional "performance pack." This raises the price to $37,000 for the 2-Door, and $38,000 for the 5-Door. Since the Golf R is $40,000, you're better off just paying the extra couple thousand and getting the way better model.

The 2016 WRX uses a relatively new 2.0 Subaru engine with a twin-scroll turbo charger. It makes roughly 270HP and has a decent amount of low-RPM torque (peak torque at 2000RPM!), making it fun to drive in the city. Fuel economy has also increased from "terrible" to "a little on the lower side of average."

The 2016 WRX STI is a bit of a dinosaur. It uses a nearly decade old 2.5 litre engine and hasn't really had any major performance enhancements over the years. The latest WRX almost has the same 0-60 time (270HP vs 305HP). The WRX STI is definitely a better performing vehicle, but for nearly $40,000 the Golf R seems to give a lot more for the money. People probably don't care about this, but it's worth noting that the STI also gets garbage fuel economy compared to the competition.

I'm still deciding myself, but right now I think the base model WRX is the best value for the money. Honestly, a lot of reviewers are saying that the current WRX is a significantly better buy than the current WRX STI.

I have a 16 WRX and Subaru has way underestimated the economy on these cars. With 93 octane I usually average around 26-28 mpg city and 30-34mpg highway. I took a trip for work last week which was 90% highway and averaged 36mpg. This is all assuming you are not hooning the shit out of the car. Maybe they used 91 for the econ testing?

>>14961585
the clutch is light in the new ones, don't get the auto.

>>14961718
in a city more wintery than Wisconsin and don't experience any of that at 100k besides the vent on the drivers side sometimes squeaking

>>14961656
>buyer's remorse with the Hyundai

Those two cars seem to be the ones almost everybody regrets buying. People thing the Veloster Turbo will be fun like a GTI or Focus ST, but they are just turds when it comes to having any fun. And everybody who gets the Ecoboost Mustang never does the tons of work it needs to make power and wishes they got the V8 so it would be fast and still have a warranty.

>>14961716

They are not that expensive.

Stop being a retard and get a manual car. It's not that bad in traffic if you're not a fucking retard.

Sadly a miata makes more sense. It's small. Fits in a city well. Etc.

Even a small 2 door hatchback makes more sense. You're a dumb fuck.
