Known for bagging multiple awards year after year, the Subaru is primarily known for its safety and comfort, and impressive handling. With a starting market price of $27,645, the Subaru WRX is also known for its great resale value. While compared to its primary competitors like the Kia Stinger with a beginning market price of $36,290, the WRX is quite an economic deal, followed by the Nissan Altima, with a price range starting from $24,450. Despite Subaru’s fairly pricey tag, the WRX sedan is known for hitting a sales unit of 27,141 in 2021. The Hyundai Sonata has a record of selling 83,434 units that come with a starting price tag of $24,150, which is fairly less than the WRX.
The popularity of the WRX would have skyrocketed in the respective year, had there been no issues and complaints about the problematic engine that runs faulty when the engine compartment gets heavily heated up, compelling the faulty head gasket to stop oil leakage from the gas compartment. Apart from that, some users have found that the car’s oxygen sensors fail to work properly affecting the mileage and overall WRX’s mileage factor too. According to the NHTSA website, users have raised 1 recall and 3 complaints about Subaru WRX’s respective year’s model.
