The 2017 Subaru WRX for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Subaru WRX for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2017 Subaru WRX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 1 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.
The numbers in plain words
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. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
A combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km works out to about 31 litres per 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $178.50 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the WRX suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
How big it is
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 340 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the WRX for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel.
When you know your dates
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
