Thinking of buying the 2017 Subaru WRX?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 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. For anyone shopping for the 2017 Subaru WRX, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the WRX
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Its combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.85, and a 300 km weekend about $53.55. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What the WRX is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the WRX tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Send a request
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2017 Subaru WRX from us first.
