The WRX with the manual is a heckuva value for about $33k to start. Drive it hard year-round and it'll reward you with tenacious AWD traction and big turbocharged thrills.
2. 2024 Subaru WRX Automatic
- Base Price: $35,985
- MPG Combined: 21
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.4-liter flat-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 6-speed manual

It's very nearly as quick as the manual WRX, but the CVT version will need to peg the tachometer needle at the 6,100-rpm redline to achieve those numbers. No thrill here of running through the gears, although this CVT does have "gears" that it "shifts" between at less than wide-open throttle. Whether this trickery will win you over probably depends on how much traffic you expect to be sitting in. If you'll be seeing a lot of open road in your WRX, do the right thing and get the stick.
