Thinking of buying the 2015 Subaru WRX?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2015 Subaru WRX for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2015 Subaru WRX before buying one.

A buyer's checks

There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 55 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, power train and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Specs, explained

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Combined fuel use is 9.9 L/100 km: about 30 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $17.33 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the WRX

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the WRX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.33 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Questions first?

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.

Rent it for a week before you buy
