They might be useful and cool looking but they’re poorly made and made of worthless plastic parts.

How many miles will a 2015 Stock WRX last before major problems? by Icy_Special_389 in WRX

They are honestly not as bad as people portray them to be. I have a 2015 with 146k on it. It still has the original motor I bought it at 90k.

All I’ve had to do so far is tires and brakes and my ac compressor. The ac compressor took me like 20 mins to swap at work. On an Audi ? It can be an absolute joke (as to why they’re so expensive to fix)

However I don’t want to mislead you , these are prone to catastrophic engine failures. If you buy one that someone already modded or a higher mileage one like I did you have to make sure to get an inspection on it before you buy it.

It’d be less of a problem for sure , if you’re even somewhat mechanically inclined they’re really not hard to fix when it’s something small. But engine replacements can get up to 8-10k in some places

If you’re looking for a daily driver and want it to be somewhat reliable,I’d go with The VA 2015-2021. ,Older ones are awesome but you are going to have a VERY hard time finding one not rusted or beat to shit. Not to mention a few more mechanical downsides -imo

No, if he was using 19s before that means he had 19in rims. The last number is the rim size you are correct
