Which Subaru WRX trim should I buy?

What Subaru WRX do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume model years usually give you more choice in trims, colours, and equipment combinations, which makes it easier to find a WRX that fits your budget and feature wish list. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so pricing and deal activity are usually easier to compare.

What is the Subaru WRX's resale value?

Most WRX model years are down year over year, and several have posted double-digit declines. That creates a friendlier buying environment for used shoppers, especially if you are targeting a recent model year. The smallest changes are concentrated in the newer end of the range, which suggests those years have been softer but still relatively steadier than the older ones.

The 2023, 2021, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
