Buying the 2020 Subaru WRX
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 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. Buying the 2020 Subaru WRX is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the WRX
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 17 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual. 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.
It is rated at 10.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 31 litres. Every 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is 340 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the WRX makes sense
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the WRX answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Which one to look for
Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Questions first?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
