Checking out the 2024 Subaru WRX Base. New features, a new infotainment system and safety equipment improves the entry point into the WRX family, but is it the trim to pick?

Huge thank you to Subaru of Wakefield for letting me have some time with the 2024 Subaru WRX.

    Like my '22 Premium, the CBS color on this vehicle is the best-looking choice. Nice that they upgraded the touch screen on the base.

    In Canada the base trim still has the silly 7” twin screens but our base has heated seats and wheel.

    Thank you, that's a great review! It's a great deal if you want a manual especially. However, if you want an automatic, it comes very close to Elantra N DCT which offers more HP and Torque. However, if you want an AWD, this is a great choice. I wish they offered an automatic in the base trim. Not to mention hatchbacks are better than sedans. I'm not sure why Subaru only offers WRX as a sedan.

    I have a premium 23 as well. If the 23 had the updated screen, it would’ve been a tougher choice for sure.
  • Just a brief correction, the 2022 Base still had auto high beam assist on the manual even without the eyesight. Otherwise great review!
  • That screen changes the game for me. It's the main reason I did not want the base in the past. Now that it's full, I might need to find one of these

    I snapped up a 22 manual premium and love it. I wanted to get one before they added eyesight!

    i have a '23 magnetite grey premium. i would have preferred the base, but it was the last '23 they had. I prefer key start, no moon roof, and meatier rubber.
  • @brandonlam3637
    The 2024 WRX Base in Canada still has the dual 7' display.
  • I actually prefer a twisting key over the push button start. Push button start has given me a laundry list of problems over the years :(

    Do you know if they tightened the steering ? I tried one and it seemed tighter than 2022 model.

    How's the brake feel by the way? I heard brake master cylinder changed for 2024.

    I just got a 24 premium. Previous wrx I have owned- 2018 premium 2020 sti 2021 base. 24 is my favorite by far
  • @jimsmith8797
    17s and no heated seats kill it. Get the premium

    This this little 🧈 boy talking up that heavy azzz tech. Look lady's. If you did your homework the 22 base was and is the one to buy. 29k, 300lbs lighter and a top speed of 155mph. Kicking around 5.4 to 5.6 0 to 60 times. Just make sure the dealership doesn't sneak in their 0w 30 oil changes. It nerfs the car by .7 psi boost. Always put 0w 20 oil in these and let them rip. Bro the 17s are much more harsh than the 18s. Wtf is this butter boy?
