Bought my '23 the end of July and I'm loving it! I live in the North East (western NY) so I put a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pros on for the winter and the performance/handling has been amazing! So, even an old man like me can still have fun! Cheers!
Economic factors have to be the #1 reason these aren't selling. It is a "sports" car after all...hard to justify for most folks when everything is getting so expensive. I put in my order for a 2024 Limited at a dealership on the other side of I-15 from you so hopefully it will be here next month.
Love your videos. The VB was selling very well due to supply issues with every other manufacturer. Now that supply is not as much of an issue, you will notice the January 2024 sales have been dismal.
I believe it’s a combination of everything, but mostly the economy. Sales are down for most car companies, and if you look at sales numbers for the wrx’s competitors their numbers are also low. So comparatively it’s doing better than its competitors but sales numbers are definitely going down.
I personally like the car and I'm thinking of getting one even though I'm older now. I love manual transmissions and large screen is a plus for me. But I gotta tell you, I don't see them on the roads here on Long Island at all. I see some older WRXs once in a while and I saw one VB platform the other day. But that's it. All I see are Hyundais, Kias, Hondas, and VWs. I think people aren't looking to pay more for gas. Also, the mileage around town isn't the greatest. That could be a factor.
I'm sure the economy played a big role. Interest rates were crazy if you weren't buying the car outright. Also, while it may drive better than any other WRX yet, it still (as a model) has been around for a long time and it may not have the "wow" factor it once had.
This car is like the ugly person you judge all the time and never give a chance to take on a date. But when you get to know them you realize it ain’t that bad. This car is so fun to drive and really makes the plastic cladding and looks not that bad.
Loving my 2023 so far. It's a great car for what I need it for and I'm excited to see all the power mod options out there. Yes, the fender flares are ugly but those are getting replaced ASAP lol
How could you look at the 2023 WRX and expect the compromise of a car to perform well? Ive only seen grandmas and people overdosing on copium drive them. Subaru fell off after 2017, they have had so many chances to create a legendary car and they just killed everything for the sake of mediocrity, and now when you look at their modern lineup, it just gets worse, larger stuffier vehicles with nothing notable.
Bought one in September 23 after a 3 month wait. The car is great. The 24 hype started 2 weeks after I bought the car, and I was ready to order the new 24 car. but that turned out to be a $40k+ car that IMO didn't address the biggest problem I have with the car.. BREAKES. I think a lot of people were hoping that the 24 would have an STI and they waited...😊

Hey! What dealer did you put your order in with?

Bidenomics. You laugh but I’m tellin ya it works
Absolutely. A niche car like this becomes even more of a tough sell as people having a tougher time making ends meet
best car on the market under 32k
I would agree!
I bought a 23 in September. The shifter took some getting used to but I really like driving it as my daily
It is such a great daily!
2023WRX 6 speed. 1st oil change exhaust, 2nd oil change BW short shifter.. Perrin intake stock tune and Steering wheel upgrade WOW
Nice. I’m confused though

Good points for sure! Thanks for the kind words too!
Have my order in for a 23’ premium should arrive at the end of february. Can’t wait!
Right on! You will love it.

Yeah a lot of factors for sure

A lot of factors to consider for sure!
The economy did it all to sales
Yeah it is a factor

For sure!
I plan on buying a 2024 wrx gt This spring
Right on!

Haha good analogy!
yup! this ugly duckling car is a beast inside.
