I am a proud owner of a Subaru 2016 WRX premium. I love my car. I have about $30,000 in it. I had the leather seats and trim installed after market. looks great. I have several interior mods but No engine alterations. I am worried about the warranty if the engine blows. truthfully I like the car the way it is. yes we all want more power but for a daily driver this is a great car for me. So I have been patiently waiting on the next gen WRX for 2020. The dealerships and online reports all say there are big changes coming. My concern is what if they make this classic line worse? I like the concept photos but as we all know that does not mean anything. The amount of rumors and speculation right now is staggering. Here is What I have heard online or mostly from dealerships and service departments that claim to be in the know.
-major body change more aggressive and sporty
-power boost with a possible new motor 350 horsepower to compete with Focus RS and Honda TypeR
-same motor in the Ascent with no horsepower gain
-hybrid motor What????
-convert to the 2.0 FA20DIT currently in 2015 wrx for both versions
I was looking to upgrade from my 2016 to a new sportier version. Again I love my car but it needs more curves to really stand out. Something about the back end looks plain and very much like a true sedan. I considered upgrading the rear spoiler to a duck bill and maybe a few other mods. But does this make sense when I plan to buy a 2020? So far my hopes have been dashed by early rumors. Has Subaru really learned anything from their 2013 concept to what we actually got? I thought the 2013 concept was fairly aggressive. Just conversation stuff, not the end of the world. So far with my lower back issues this is one of the few sport type cars that I can drive without spending $50,000
