I am leasing a 2020 WRX. The clutch is pretty light but I learned how to drive manual on it and the car has been a rock so far. A freaking animal in the winter. The lease is up at the end of the year and I'm inclined to just buy the damn thing because I have the money and all the new WRX's are more costly than they should be (used or new.)I have the same, 2019 though. My second Forester, after my 12’ 5 speed. Both have taken me in many many great adventures and a cross country road trip on the sport.
But my fav car which I regret selling specially now that Subaru cancelled it for the foreseeable future is the STI. I had a 2015 launch edition, man do I miss that thing : /
The only reason I sold it was because I wanted something more practical as I was living out west and doing a lot of adventures and hiking. But looking back now, I kick myself for not keeping it and just buying an old beater rig for my camping trips and such.
I miss driving manual so much after several stick cars and it’s obvious if you don’t get one now that’s it, they’re gonna be gone. ICE manuals are dead after this generation. That’s why even though I’m not so sure about this new WRX I’m going to consider it down the line. It’ll be basically one of the last few affordable driver’s car out there. It’s probably like one of the few cars where you still even get a hand brake and can turn off traction control nannies.
I quite like my 6-speed anti-theft device.
