I've been given invoice pricing before, but never below. I don't know how you all do it. Crazy stuff.
I was reading through the previous pages of this thread and came across the exhaust note discussion. Is that boxer rumble really gone? I watched videos of UELH versus ELH and the difference was kind of noticeable. If they weren't side by side, I wouldn't be able to tell for sure. I just figure that after I slap some aftermarket cat back exhaust from borla or cobb, everything will be just dandy. Thoughts?
The exaggerated rumble is gone yes. However, it a big improvement in efficiency. We will have to wait and see how the aftermarket handles it, I'm not sure an axle/cat-back would bring much of the rumble back. Might help make the exhaust tone deeper but, as long as you use ELH it won't have the same rumble.
Bummer. Coming from a Mustang to this 2015 Subaru WRX, I have a lot of faith in Borla. Borla did some nice work on their exhaust systems for the V6 mustangs that really enhanced the sound and brought it as close as it will ever be to the sound of the V8 GTs. Long story short, I have faith that I'll be happy with the aftermarket sound.
I do want to note that I'm happy with performance/efficiency over sound though. It's a subject I could feel differently depending on the day, but I think Subaru was wise on this one.

that's really not too bad. for me it is on the edge of beginning to sound "ricey", but i'm still confident that a manufacturer will great a great sound out of the WRX that sounds better than that XT (which wasn't hateful). i'll wait for some people to take the plunge and post videos before i commit to a $1200 catback system. this 2015 WRX is bringing a lot of good things into the mix, and for me it is worth it over the outgoing 2014. my WRX will be my daily driver so having a nicer interior is a big deal for me. i also think it'd be fun to mod this WRX heavily once it is paid off and i can afford a different DD. from what everyone on here has been saying, the new engine is much better for being modded and adding horsepower. i'm still super stoked for my april arrival date.
Longtime reader, first time poster. I am about to leap from evo to wrx. Does anyone know invoice on Canadian pricing? Does anyone know what is the going rate? I wanted to compare what I'm being offered. Thanks.
Two things became noticeable at this point: how articulately the flat-bottom steering wheel communicated, and how calm the chassis remained, with no tendency to understeer on these back roads.
Off subject here but I ordered a kicker upgrade system (sub, tweeters, speakers) off ebay for a 2012-2014 impreza sedan (non wrx) Best I could tell this should be an exact fit to the 2015 wrx. It seemed like a good deal, $399. I know I could have gotten more bang for the buck with aftermarket but plug and play will be nice. Thoughts?
I ordered the base so just to get the audio upgrade I would have to jump to a limited plus 2500. Basically 4500 extra. 26k is more than double what I've ever spent on a car in the past so in summary I'm being cheap. lol
I googled the interior of the 14 impreza and 15 Rex and the radio unit, door panels, and trunk all appear identical. I should have the car in a few weeks and will report back.
So, I'm ordering a 2015 Limited soon. I'm having trouble deciding between the Lightning Red or the Rally Blue. This is my first Subaru since the late 90's and my first WRX. I love both colors, but I'm leaning towards the Blue.
I ordered my WRX Premium in the Lightning Red. Dark grey and red together are my favorite colors, so it was a no brainer for me. Plus it'll be a little more unique since I have a feeling there'll be quite a few of the WRB around.

Considering I've had 4 black, 1 silver, 1 gray and 1 white car, I think it's time for some color. I like the idea of red, but I don't like the red offered. If it were a VERY dark red pearl...then I'd consider it. I still think I'm going for WRB personally.
Well, my 6 year old told me "Daddy, you better get the WRB or else!" I'm not sure what "or else" could be, but I better not take any chances. Looks like it will WRB!
I just heard news that my car is totaled out although I think I could still get it fixed from a lower priced shop, I want to investigate this iteration of the Wrx with the 2015 as a potential REPLACEMENT! The only thing is I do not know whether to pursue the 2015 MT or the CVT and then possibly negotiate on some remaining 2014s if there are any. I know it remains up in the air but I am mainly interested in the '15s but cannot get one to test drive in either tranny but what are you recommendations. I am coming off an Accord 06 in the slushbox but my friend has a 2011 Wrx MT and I have rode as a passenger recently and I noticed he doesn't shift but once or twice as we are cruising. With the 6mt and needing 3 shift to get to 60, I still do not anticipate shifting a LOT more but nonetheless, will it be slower on those spirited jaunts or say I am driving faster then norm on different roads or just a strip of long highway, should I be concerned with shifting too much? Would that be bad for a novice who has never shifted before?
The other big thing that worries me is the longevity of the CVT and it won't be as exciting as a MT?
Go with whatever you feel is the best for your preferences and needs. My personal preference is the MT all day long, but that's just because I love MT's. I've been driving them since I was a teen. In terms of the reliability between the MT and CVT, I'm not sure about that at all. But I can assure you that once you learn to drive a MT you will have a lot of fun!
Just thought I'd throw this link here. More info. and some nice stock photos and colors on Subaru Australia site. You can also view all optional accessories and prices. (AU) New Subaru WRX: Weapon of mass seduction
For some reason they still haven't updated the North America site yet to show the 2015. Glad I went with DGM, It's just so sexy...
