I got my son the WRX 2023 in manual. Sabi ko you need to learn to drive manual. Fun car to drive. Rides like you are on rails! But, the speed limiter is set to 133mph so my old stock G37 will still beat stock WRXs out there. Other than that it is a pretty solid car. I hated that the back looks like a Civic but after sometime it actually grew on me. Too bad no more new STIs.
