I review the 2018 Subaru WRX Limited with a manual transmission. Some nice upgrades for the 2018 model year but still many of the same imperfections. What do you guys think of the 2018 WRX? Huge thanks to Matt for providing his car for this review!

The buttons on the steering wheel being more numerous on the left side is probably due to the fact that your right hand is going to be on the shifter more often.

thanks for the updated review Matt, came in clutch & helped me decide to keep my 2016. My local Subaru offered me to early trade in my leased 2016 wrx for any 2018 on the lot, but after seeing this, I think I'll wait until my lease is up and hopefully the 2019 will be worth the wait

I made a POV video on a 2017 WRX. I like the way it drives, only annoying thing is that it feels underpowered under 3000rpm. For normal driving in town it doesn't feel that exciting until its revved over 3000rpms. Still a very cool car !

Matt, it's been 3 years since the 2015 came out in late 2014, you have to request a 2018 WRX (CVT) but put it in manual mode, Sport mode (not Sport #) and use the paddle shifters to shift. It will be a blast, you should really like it. I have a 2015 WRX CVT with a COBB tune and use it exclusively in manual mode. - it's a hell of a lot of fun

I recently got my 2020 Limited and I really love the car so far. Mine also has the STI short shifter which is essential to really get the most enjoyment from this car, although the throws could be a bit shorter. I am truly impressed by the performance of this car for the great price, and the handling and exhaust are fantastic. I'm even impressed with the fuel economy which has been around 30 MPG in mostly highway driving. I highly recommend the car! Also, I totally agree that the accessory arm rest extension is cheapo plastic trash...and the release button on it rattles while I'm driving, which is annoying as hell. The problem is that the regular arm rest is too low without the extension, so I definitely need it. I just wish it was better quality. Fun fact: that crappy arm rest extension is $160! I agree about the brakes too. The pedal is definitely softer than I expected. I don't agree about throttle response or turbo lag. I don't feel any delay at all.

The owner Matt has this WRX. This Matt is reviewing it today. This is why it was "subaruwrxfan" in the first place, but because you like cars other than that like Mustangs like yours or 911s like Nick Murray's of which I'm dying for a review for, I kind of understand the name change. Nice vid, though. 🙂

Hey guys I recently got in my friends '18 wrx to run through the gears. That shifter felt like absolute butter. I have a 2011 wrx with a cobb short throw shifter with front and rear bushings in it and it's not even close to being as smooth and crisp as the 2018. I was wondering if I'd be able to take 2018 shifter and put in my 2011 or if anyone can suggest a smoother shifter than the Cobb short throw.

Looking at getting a 2016 wrx limited, only worried being a more sporty car is that the previous owner or owners have beat the shit out of it. One I'm looking at now is at Nissan dealer and it says has a Cobb tunning which definitely worried that the previous tried to and did modify the car. What are some things I should look for or should I just stay away from used wrx all together?
