2023 Subaru WRX Premium Manual

Meet the Blue 2023 Subaru WRX sedan that still believes driving should be an event, not an errand. Slip into the heated front sport buckets, grab the leather-wrapped wheel, and row your own gears with the 6-speed manual—because some commutes deserve a little personality. Under the hood, a turbocharged 2.4L flat-four pairs quick response with smart variable valve timing and electronic throttle control, delivering that punchy, eager feel WRX fans crave, all while running on good old gasoline.

Point it at a twisty road and the WRX immediately feels at home. Full-time all-wheel drive and a sport-tuned suspension work together with front and rear anti-roll bars, giving this sedan the planted, confident vibe that makes you look for the long way home. Summer performance tires and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist, and hill hold control help keep things composed when the pace picks up—while hill start assist makes daily driving with a manual feel that much easier. There’s even an engine oil cooler to help keep things happy when you’re enjoying the boost a little more often.

The look is clean, aggressive, and purposeful. The Blue paint pops against the black exterior trim and grille, and the LED lighting adds a sharp, modern edge with projector-beam low/high beams, daytime running lights, auto-leveling, and automatic high beams. Around back, the quasi-dual stainless steel exhaust with a polished finisher adds just the right hint that this car means business.

Inside, it’s sporty without forgetting comfort. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone happy, the tilt/telescoping steering column helps you dial in the driving position, and the cabin mixes leatherette and metal-look accents with a performance-inspired feel. Two front LCD monitors and a 6-speaker audio setup keep your playlists and info in easy reach, while smart storage (including a folding rear seat and concealed cargo space) makes this sedan surprisingly practical.

For peace of mind, a CARFAX report is available for this WRX—so you can get the story before you start writing your own.
