Used 2021 Subaru WRX for Sale nearOttawa, ON

How much does the 2021 Subaru WRX cost?

Prices have softened 6.78% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 93 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2021 Subaru WRX a good car?

Yes — the 4.7/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the WRX’s appeal is clear if you want a practical sports sedan with rally roots, standard all-wheel drive, and a turbocharged Boxer engine. It also suits you if you want an enthusiast-focused car that still works as a daily driver, especially with the added space, better fuel efficiency, and stiffer chassis of this generation. The market shows 37.6% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Subaru WRX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The WRX’s standard all-wheel drive, available torque vectoring, and established turbocharged Boxer setup support its reputation for dependable year-round use. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the car’s enthusiast focus can mean harder use than you might see in a more ordinary sedan.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Subaru WRX?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 93 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.78% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $25,334 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Subaru WRX's resale value?

The current average of $25,377 CAD sits slightly below last year's $27,222 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favourable point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, buying near the lower end of the range gives you more cushion against depreciation. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2021 Subaru WRX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.78% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $21,945 CAD, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $25,377 CAD average.
• It blends everyday usability with standard all-wheel drive and a manual option.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $28,270 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $25,377 CAD average.
• It adds a more refined powertrain and sharper handling.

The bottom line: The 2021 is the best all-around pick if you want the strongest balance of price, satisfaction, and current market availability. If your priority is saving money, the 2020 is the smarter value play; if you want the newer update and can stretch your budget, the 2022 is worth a look.
