I traded my jeep in for a 2018 wrx last summer

Great choice. My jeep had around 90,000 miles on it. I didn't get much, but I had been saving for a new vehicle for a while. I'm in my mid 30s and always drove used vehicles. Decided I had enough saved and went and got exactly the car I wanted.

2018 WRX Limited (with the CVT). STI is still the dream, but I can't drive a standard.

I love the thing. I live where it snows, and I need to get to work in it. I'm also not into cross overs or SUVS. A jeep was acceptable, but only barely. The WRX gives me a sedan body with lots sporty power. I wish they would make a hatchback version again though.

No, its got 30k miles. Clean car fax and one owner.

Assuming it isnt modded to hell, Ill probably buy it.

My wrangler only has 23k, so it should be a pretty solid trade.

I didnt know WRX offered a CVT engine, thats interesting!
---

Yeah, they have a CVT. It was hard for me to find something sporty that was CVT and AWD. I considered a dodge challenger, but i didn't like its styling as much.

I love my WRX though. Great car, and really fun to drive.

Your wrangler will get more than my Compass.

Theyre saying theyll give me 21k for it. Hopefully all goes well. Have a couple scuffs from off-roading.

Im nervous af

I want a WRX.

Do it

Everyone I know who has gotten a Jeep has had the thing turn to complete junk around 40-50k miles. They've all been Libertys, Cherokees and Compass though so no clue if the Wranglers hold up.

Edit: I should also mention, they don't do any offroading. Just normal ass commuting to work so it's not like they rode them hard or anything.

That sounds like one sick acronym.

I'd go for it.
---

Wranglers last awhile, but have issues in their own right.

Im going straight there after work

The civilian version of the Subaru Impreza WRC.

WRX's are awesome. My 06 one lasted me forever until I decided I didn't need AWD when I moved out to Cali

Are you getting a hatchback or standard?
---

If you wanna go sykk you can step it up to the deliciously expensive WRX STi.

V nice but I dont wanna go broke.

Like an extra 10k lol.

I dont want to really increase my car payment, but Im willing to extend it another year.

Love my WRX, as long as I live in a place with very snowy winters I'll never own anything else. Going on seven years now with no serious maintenance issues, just regular oil changes and a brakes change.

Do you run snow tires, or just all-seasons?

I had a ms3 a few years ago, and that thing was a tank in the winter! (With snow tires.) FWD though.

I live near Cleveland, OH. So itll definitely be great in the snow here

Sedan, I do love me a nice hatchback though.

They just stopped making them

Proper winter tires, I have Blizzaks. Expensive but well worth it.

Don't be a pansy go row your own gears.
