6 Month Review – WRX 265 2009
Where does the time go, it has been 6 month since I got my WRX 265, and I thought it will be fun to do a review. I was thinking, I will give this car a grade, you know how fancy car magazines say this car is an A or a B or a D. And so here is the grade a B+
The ride: A+
This car is fast, do not buy this car if you are in the market for a slow Sunday stroll, this car wants to go, and will go. I am shocked that I dont have more speeding tickets. The ride is tight, Subaru did an amazing job with this car. The seats are comfy, the handling is perfect, the AWD is also awesome. BUT again, the speed, man o man
Subaru: A -
Even though i had some issues, the dealership i deal with where great, I have to say that they treated me fairly and well. Except for that horrible survey they sent out, and there not so great road side assistance program. So far my dealing with Subaru has not been painful, and that is more that i can ask from any dealership
Interior: B-
Dont get me wrong, the car is nice, and they did and excellent job with the dash. But the car can use a few fixes. For example:
The sound system is sub par
The Mechanics: D+
That is expected, what can i say, a blown engine. I mean I wont give them such a bad mark if I was the only one, but i am not, there are a lot of people out there with bad engines, so something is off, and Subaru needs to fix it
Overall the car is great, a lot of fun, and real fast. Do I love it, YES. Would I buy it again, YES.
WRX owners, do you agree, was I fair in my assessment?
Thanks for the review. Whatr happened to your engine? I’ve been seeing a lot of comments about the 2008- 2009 WRX with spun bearings in the engine, on cars with under 3000 miles.
What was wrong with your dash?
I have had my 2009 Wrx since April this year and I found it to be a great car. I disagree with the sound system. It was one of the better standard sound systems out in the market. Much better than the standard Lancer Rallyart and I would say better sounds than the Mazda SP25 and looks less cluttered.
