    If you get a chance try out a WRX with one installed. It really depends on your size and arm length, as some people have zero need for it. Me? Have it and recommend it. Worth the money to buy the Subaru piece.

    Anybody that has rode in my car has commented on how useless the armrest would be otherwise.

    I don't know where you could get one for cheap - I'd just check out genuinesubaruparts and install it yourself.

    Can't recommend the arm rest extension enough.

    It does make getting road head a little more difficult (just saying...)
