Message from the seller

2021 Subaru WRX Premium For Sale This 1-owner 2021 WRX Premium presents as a well-kept, thoughtfully modified example of Subaru's turbocharged, rally-bred sedan. Finished in factory WRX Premium trim and backed by consistent dealership servicing, the car has had oil changes performed approximately every six months regardless of mileage. Prior to winter storage, the fuel system was treated with Star Tron Enzyme fuel treatment, reflecting careful seasonal preparation rather than casual ownership.Under the hood is Subaru's 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four (FA20DIT), paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. From the factory, the Premium trim included heated front seats, a power sunroof, 18-inch wheels, sport cloth upholstery, aluminum pedals, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and Subaru's STARLINK infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.This example benefits from several well-chosen upgrades that focus on drivability and response rather than chasing peak numbers. An STI short-throw shifter and STI shift knob provide a tighter, more mechanical feel through the gears. A Grimmspeed cold air intake has been paired with a professional protune by Dmann Tuning. The calibration was designed to improve overall drivability and eliminate the factory rev-hang between first and second gear, rather than push the limits of the stock hardware. The result is a smoother, more natural shifting experience that suits daily use as well as spirited driving.The stance is updated with Konig Hypergram flow-forged wheels wrapped in tires with approximately 200 miles of use. The TPMS sensors have been properly paired to the vehicle, so there are no warning lights. Subtle exterior refinements include a chrome delete within the headlights, Diode Dynamics C-light running lights and turn signals, yellow LED fog lights, a carbon fiber front lip, and matching carbon fiber mirror caps. The overall appearance remains clean and cohesive without straying far from the WRX's factory character.Inside, the car retains its Premium trim features and includes a discreetly installed dashcam with wiring cleanly tucked to the center console for power. It remains a practical four-door sport sedan with usable rear seating and a proper trunk, while still delivering the connected, analog feel that has defined the VA-chassis WRX.This WRX Premium represents a balanced build: properly maintained, intelligently tuned, and upgraded in ways that enhance the driving experience without compromising everyday usability. For buyers looking for a manual, turbocharged AWD sedan that has been cared for and modified with intention, this example checks the right boxes.See the "videos" tab above this description box for a cold start and walk around. Please call ahead to confirm the vehicle's current availability and viewing location.

  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Subaru generally has a good reputation for reliability, and the WRX is no exception. The boxer engine is robust, though regular maintenance is key, especially with the turbo.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are average for a performance car. Specific parts like tires and brakes may wear faster due to the car's nature. Premium fuel is required, adding to running costs.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is functional with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but the interface can feel a bit dated compared to newer rivals. Driver-assist features are present but not as comprehensive as in some competitors.
  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The sport-tuned suspension, while great for handling, can be firm over rough pavement. The Recaro seats (if equipped) offer good support but might be too snug for some. Road noise is noticeable at highway speeds.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 2021 WRX Premium offers sharp steering and excellent all-wheel-drive grip, making it a blast on twisty roads. The turbocharged engine provides strong acceleration, though some turbo lag is present.

2021 Subaru WRX: A Comprehensive Overview

The 2021 Subaru WRX continues its legacy as a performance-oriented compact sedan that balances everyday drivability with rally-inspired capabilities. Known for its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and potent turbocharged Boxer engine, the WRX offers an engaging driving experience for enthusiasts without completely sacrificing practicality.

Highlights

  • Engine and Performance:

    • 2.0L Turbocharged BOXER Engine: All WRX models are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Boxer engine. This engine delivers a healthy 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Boxer configuration, with its horizontally opposed cylinders, results in a lower center of gravity, contributing to the WRX's agile handling.
    • Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD): A hallmark of Subaru vehicles, the Symmetrical AWD system is standard on every WRX. This system continuously distributes power to all four wheels, optimizing traction and stability in various road conditions, from spirited driving to inclement weather.
    • Transmission Options: Buyers can choose between a standard 6-speed manual transmission for a truly engaging driver-controlled experience, or Subaru's Sport Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with manual mode and paddle shifters for a more convenient, yet still engaging, option.
  • Safety Features:

    • Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology (CVT Models Only): This suite of advanced safety features utilizes stereo cameras to provide pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. These technologies aim to prevent accidents and reduce their severity.
    • Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) with Active Torque Vectoring: VDC helps drivers maintain control during evasive maneuvers by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels and reducing engine power. Active Torque Vectoring further enhances cornering by subtly braking the inside front wheel, helping the car rotate more efficiently into turns.
    • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver to any significant drops, crucial for maintaining optimal performance and safety.
  • Summary of Trims:

    • WRX BASE: The entry-level model offers the core WRX experience with the 2.0L turbocharged Boxer engine, 6-speed manual transmission, and Symmetrical AWD. It provides a solid foundation of performance and handling.
    • WRX PREMIUM: Building on the Base trim, the Premium adds desirable features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, a trunk spoiler, and Subaru's Starlink infotainment system with a larger touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration. It also offers available EyeSight technology with the CVT.
    • WRX LIMITED: The top-tier WRX for the standard models, the Limited trim boasts premium features like leather-trimmed upholstery, an 8-way power driver's seat, keyless access with push-button start, and a larger 7-inch infotainment display with navigation. It also features LED headlights and taillights for improved visibility and a more sophisticated look.
    • WRX STI: (While not explicitly requested, it's crucial to mention as it represents the pinnacle of WRX performance for 2021). The STI version significantly elevates performance with a more powerful 2.5L turbocharged BOXER engine producing 310 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, a performance-tuned SI-DRIVE system allowing drivers to select different driving modes, and a more advanced AWD system with Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD). It also features a stiffer suspension, larger brakes, and distinctive STI styling cues.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Agile Handling: The combination of its potent engine, standard AWD, responsive steering, and well-tuned suspension makes the WRX exceptionally fun to drive, particularly on winding roads.
    • Practical Sedan Body: Despite its performance focus, the WRX retains the practicality of a four-door sedan, offering seating for five and a decent-sized trunk for everyday cargo.
    • Rally Heritage: The WRX's roots in the World Rally Championship are evident in its DNA, offering a driving experience that evokes a sense of connection to the road and a willingness to be pushed.

What to Expect

Owning a 2021 Subaru WRX typically means embracing a lively and engaging driving experience. For enthusiasts, the manual transmission is a key draw, demanding driver input and rewarding with a connected feel. The standard AWD system inspires confidence in various weather conditions, making it a year-round performer. Maintenance is generally on par with other turbocharged performance vehicles. Regular oil changes, fluid checks, and brake pad replacements will be standard. Due to its turbocharged nature and performance-oriented components, expect maintenance intervals to be closely followed.

Insurance costs for the WRX can be higher than for a comparable non-performance sedan. This is due to its higher performance capabilities, potential for spirited driving, and the cost of specialized parts. It's advisable to get insurance quotes early in the buying process to factor this into your budget.

Potential Considerations

  • Cabin Noise: While improved over previous generations, the WRX's cabin can still be a bit noisier than some rivals, especially at highway speeds, due to its performance-oriented tires and suspension.
  • Fuel Economy: The turbocharged engine and standard AWD, while providing excellent performance, do impact fuel economy. Expect mileage figures to be lower than non-turbocharged or front-wheel-drive competitors.
  • Harsh Ride (STI): For the WRX STI specifically, the sport-tuned suspension can lead to a firmer and potentially less comfortable ride for daily commuting, especially on less-than-perfect road surfaces.
  • CVT Performance: While Subaru's CVT is one of the better ones on the market, some driving purists may find it less engaging than the manual transmission, particularly under hard acceleration.
  • Infotainment System Responsiveness: While functional, the infotainment system's responsiveness and user interface might not be as cutting-edge or intuitive as some competitors.

Overall Summary

The 2021 Subaru WRX remains a compelling choice for drivers seeking a blend of everyday practicality and exhilarating performance. Its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, potent turbocharged Boxer engine, and engaging handling create a unique and rewarding driving experience. While it might have some minor drawbacks in terms of cabin noise and fuel economy, these are often accepted trade-offs for the thrill and capability it offers. For those who appreciate a well-balanced performance sedan with a rally-bred pedigree, the 2021 WRX, especially in its STI guise, is a strong contender.
