What Subaru WRX do most buyers choose?

The Subaru WRX years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim and price. They also tend to attract shoppers looking for a newer WRX with a broader mix of equipment and availability.

Most WRX model years are posting negative year-over-year price changes, and several of those drops are double-digit declines.

Should I buy a used Subaru WRX now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The WRX is powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder Subaru boxer engine with 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and it pairs that output with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT).

• Starting price: Pricing in Canada starts at $34,851.50 for the base model with the manual transmission.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
