The 2019 Subaru WRX: before you buy
No 2019 Subaru WRX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2019 Subaru WRX, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the WRX
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and unknown or other. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
The EPA rates it at 10.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 31 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $178.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the WRX
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 340 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the WRX makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the WRX answers the big questions. Rent the WRX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.50 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2019 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
