00:00:11.814 --> 00:00:13.217
time now for this hour's car review.
00:00:13.217 --> 00:00:18.984
I had a chance to drive the 2024 subaru wrx.
00:00:18.984 --> 00:00:25.835
It comes in base trim level, premium, limited, tr and GT.
00:00:25.835 --> 00:00:29.986
I have the TR-RUH.
00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:36.707
Okay, could you go through that one more time?
00:00:36.707 --> 00:00:41.988
I have the TR-RUH R-U-H, r-u-h.
00:00:41.988 --> 00:00:43.746
I have no clue what that means.
00:00:43.746 --> 00:00:46.167
Maybe you can decipher it.
00:00:46.167 --> 00:00:47.746
There it is the window sticker on it.
00:00:47.746 --> 00:00:50.107
You tell me what the R is.
00:00:50.107 --> 00:00:55.326
It's a midsize sedan, seats five, including the driver.
00:00:56.301 --> 00:00:59.191
This particular body style was all new in 2022.
00:00:59.191 --> 00:01:04.971
Exterior features bulging fenders on an Impreza sedan body.
00:01:04.971 --> 00:01:15.614
Sharp-looking front end with a great big hood scoop on it, quad pipes dual exhaust, but quad pipes with the racy lower valance in the back.
00:01:15.614 --> 00:01:21.707
Tr style wheels look great and exclusive to the trim level.
00:01:21.707 --> 00:01:30.489
I curb rashed one really bad and I called the lady that takes care of the car and she said oh, don't worry about it.
00:01:30.489 --> 00:01:32.013
I felt so bad.
00:01:32.013 --> 00:01:34.021
It was one of those wheels right there.
00:01:34.021 --> 00:01:39.490
I felt so bad that I told her I said I'll pay to get the wheel fixed.
00:01:39.490 --> 00:01:41.174
I never do that.
00:01:41.174 --> 00:01:46.243
Well, guess what I did do it, what I liked about it?
00:01:46.243 --> 00:01:49.486
The overall look and stance gets an A on my list.
00:01:49.486 --> 00:01:50.888
What could use improvement?
00:01:50.888 --> 00:01:54.150
Offer a hatchback version, because this one's got a trunk.
00:01:54.150 --> 00:02:11.141
Anyway, interior highlights Recaro seats, sports seats they're standard with this particular model High bolstered with the TR trim level.
00:02:11.162 --> 00:02:12.343
Huge infotainment screen that's easy to use.
00:02:12.343 --> 00:02:16.611
Black everything inside Could use some color accents, though I don't know.
00:02:16.611 --> 00:02:18.401
Red stitching just doesn't seem enough.
00:02:18.401 --> 00:02:22.651
Need some highlights in there, a little pop to it.
00:02:22.651 --> 00:02:24.133
Smooth shifter on this thing.
00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:26.067
Cargo trunk room well, it's small.
00:02:26.067 --> 00:02:27.241
What I liked about it?
00:02:27.241 --> 00:02:29.449
The dash layout in this thing is excellent.
00:02:29.449 --> 00:02:30.330
What could use improvement?
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:35.872
Bigger differentiation from the premium trim to this hot rod trim.
00:02:37.901 --> 00:02:48.468
2.4 liter boxer turbo motor, 271 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque, six-speed manual transmission.
00:02:48.468 --> 00:02:51.747
This is the smoothest shifting transmission I think I've ever had in my entire life.
00:02:51.747 --> 00:02:54.126
Did you find out what Roo?
00:02:54.126 --> 00:02:57.189
No, we're working on it, ours Roo.
00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:01.840
I got the TR, but Nobody seems to know what the Roo is.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.587
I think it's the sound you make when you scuff a wheel.
00:03:03.587 --> 00:03:03.788
Oh God no.
00:03:03.788 --> 00:03:04.612
But Nobody seems to know what the Rua is.
00:03:04.612 --> 00:03:05.739
I think it's the sound you make when you scuff a wheel.
00:03:05.739 --> 00:03:05.960
Oh God no.
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.673
But I had a lot of things on my body that were puckering up, oh no.
00:03:09.673 --> 00:03:11.560
Well, stuff happens.
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:16.913
19 miles to Gallon City, 26 highway for a combined of 22 is what it's rated.
00:03:16.913 --> 00:03:21.491
I got 25.4 over 301.2 miles.
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.330
What I liked about it the power is plenty adequate for this car.
00:03:25.330 --> 00:03:26.092
It's a fashionable car.
00:03:26.092 --> 00:03:30.611
What could use improvement is just throwing this out there at Subaru.
00:03:30.611 --> 00:03:34.885
How about putting another turbo on it, make it a twin turbo?
00:03:34.885 --> 00:03:39.670
Ooh, I don't know whether the four-banger would do it or not, whether it would hold up.
00:03:39.670 --> 00:03:40.573
It's screaming.
00:03:40.573 --> 00:03:44.830
The TR gets handling upgrades that include sticky tires and bigger brakes.
00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:49.292
What I liked about it the race car feel of this car, this thing.
00:03:49.292 --> 00:03:57.793
It feels like you could just throw it around in corners and clearly I did right to the curb, but I didn't do it intentionally and I wasn't racing it.
00:03:57.793 --> 00:03:58.441
Uh.
00:03:58.441 --> 00:03:59.883
Also, what could use improvement?
00:03:59.883 --> 00:04:02.109
I think adjustable dampers on it would be good.
00:04:03.573 --> 00:04:06.498
Base trim price $41,655.
00:04:06.498 --> 00:04:09.659
Price is tested $42,907.
00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.819
The base model price is $32,735.
00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:18.360
Competitors Toyota Gur Corolla $36,500.
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.540
The Hyundai Elantra N $33,700.
00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:27.240
The Mazda 3 2.55 turbo 36, 635.
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.129
And I had to throw the VW Golf GTI in there for 31, 965.
00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:34.634
Fun car, good looking.
00:04:34.634 --> 00:04:36.425
I think you should go for one.
00:04:36.425 --> 00:04:38.266
Go and drive one.
00:04:38.266 --> 00:04:39.562
You're going to go well.
00:04:39.562 --> 00:04:40.785
I think he was right.
00:04:40.785 --> 00:04:45.920
Martha, martha knows, martha knows All right.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:05:04.274
Martha, martha knows, martha knows All right.
00:05:04.274 --> 00:05:05.754
Thank you.
