  • Handling upgrades first and foremost, and then driver mod! That's the Subaru WRX TR mantra. It used to stand for 'Tuner Ready', but this 2024 Subaru WRX TR is equipped with a lot of meaningful handling upgrades that TR might just stand for 'Track Ready'

    I really like the way this Subaru looks...I don't know why some people don't like those black plastics. I think many people just want to hate, instead of being satisfied that Subaru still makes a performance sedan

      Yes. The CVT, or “SPT”, is very good. And I mean it, it’s really fast, and good!

    Subaru realized that they needed to push more cars to the mass to grow the audience and following. This means cheaper cars for everyone when most automakers are making 40k+ cars. They also recognize that cars got expensive after 2020 and that moving a $55k STI off the lot just like a Civic type R was going to be tough.
    Unfortunately for us, the WRX isn’t the main focus (rally) anymore. The focus is different affordable cars that have AWD, can go many places and can be driven by anyone.
    For those die hard enthusiasts, they give us the best financially responsible car they can. Truth be told, the new TR is just as good as a VA STI in many aspects. Besides -25 hp, a faster steering rack, adjustable center differential that most people don’t use, and some badges, is it really that much different?

    The price is ridiculous. And there r no changes to the engine or trans, which means that the engine and trans in the base is also track ready. So why bother

    Dear Subaru Asia of Japan and Subaru of America Inc.,
    Have you finally regretted not giving your enthusiast-based consumers the STI model they've been ever so desperately wanting yet? Have you finally regretted falling into the scheme that the government played you into believing that EVs are the answer? Have you thought about any regrets that's going to come with you bringing an electric STI that won't be an STI that you're going to call STe you know both the regular WRX and the STI communities are not going to take too kindly of if you even bring it to the North American market?
    Subaru. If I were you, I'd pump the brakes on whatever IT IS you people that are sitting at a cubicle and in a corporate office think long and hard about the poorly negative actions you're going to receive bringing an STe in a WRX body.
    Do yourself a favor and stop playing with your STI enthusiasts, get the STI Division back up and running, upgrade the 2.4T for STI duty and give the WRX STI that people have been wanting and waiting for that should have NEVER BEEN CANCELLED in the first place when you had a fully built production ready WRX STI ready to go to market.
    PICK YOUR POISON. Either bring the STI back to the market or just leave the US market completely. DON'T try to give us no PR excuse about climate change and regulations. YOU ARE NOT MOPAR! And don't try to give a half-assed STI Sport that isn't a true STI. Give the STI fans the full-blown WRX STI like it was originally set to go to market or you can leave the US market and fall to the wayside like Isuzu, Suzuki, and Mitsubishi all have.

      They just sold more WRXs last year than any year of the WRX yet, so why would they be regretting their decision. They’ll come back with an STi eventually, but for now, the current WRX has the same pulling power as the old STi, and it handles better. The only lacking part at this point is the tranny since we now have superior brakes compared to the STi brakes.
