I kind of love how analogue this car is. No push button to start, no power seats, no stupid giant tablet, real gauges, real hand brake, etc. I really, REALLY like this car.

They're a blast to drive. Definitely the preferred trim level for tuners or modders.

No actual hvac controls, gotta look at a screen instead of do it by feel. This is a serious safety issue, but it saves a few bucks I’m sure.

Thank you very much for this video. Most of the wrx review on internet are the premium one. I ordered a base model and it's nice to finally have a good review of the entry level wrx.

Welcome! We don't get a ton of base models, so I wanted to make sure I got a video of it!

For being a base model and having all the every day needs. Apple/android car play, two usb c, auto head lights, back up camera, auto rear view mirror and heated seats 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Awesome take on the wrx…. Nice putting emphasis on the little things like fuse box etc. And real life application of things in a car… Do the sport tech as comparison next!👊🏾🍻

Just got one of these last week in Blue Pearl. Hella fun to drive when I'm not stuck in rush hour traffic. Only real complaint so far is the sound system. Speakers sound like they are half blown already. Making a trip to the stereo shop as soon as I get some extra cash.

Glad that you're enjoying it! The base WRX is really for those who want to go and customize their vehicle their way. No point in getting more features in a higher trim if you're going to go and swap them out anyways.

Thinking of getting the exact model, thanks for the review!

Thanks for the video! This base is legit all I’d ever need. I don’t understand why people will spend so much money on the GT. I understand the premium, but that’s it. This is the exact same car I’d get, either in black or that nice darker gray. 👍🏻

Thanks for watching! It's all personal preference whennit comes to trim levels. Some people like the extra features in the higher end trims, and some want more basic features with no nonsense.

Is there any way to keep the display turned off?

Love that the base is a slick roof.

Yeah, lots of people just want the performance that the car offers, with no other bells and whistles.

I have one exactly like it and I'm glad the dealer didn't install the front plate mount. I never run front plates on my vehicles. Now the front bumper has holes in it.

It's not for everyone, but the base WRX infotainment screen still has some buttons, especially when you compare to the Sport and Sport-Tech trim levels.
