For the purist — the full 271-hp turbo, the 6-speed manual, and the same chassis as the $45k trims. $32,495 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing.
Tell us who you are. We'll come back with the real out-the-door number — no markup games, no mystery add-ons — and an honest read on whether Premium's $1,500 is worth it for how you'll drive it.

What You Get
The engine never changes on the WRX ladder — every trim above this one is buying seats, screens, and suspension. Base is the whole mechanical point of the car at the lowest price of entry.
The mechanical experience, complete.
Livability is where Base pays for its price.
$32,495 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing before you set foot on a lot. No "market adjustment" stickers, ever.
The Honest Ladder
There isn't one — Base IS the entry, and nothing that matters is missing. The 271 horsepower, the manual, the chassis: the whole point of the car is standard at the bottom rung. If $32,495 is still a stretch, the honest play is a clean used WRX — manuals hold value stubbornly, but we'll run that math with you straight, both ways.
Premium at $33,995 is a $1,500 walk for the big screen, heated seats, and the daily-livability kit — the one step on this ladder we rarely argue against if you'll drive it every day. Everything past that is comfort, not speed: Limited at $38,995 buys Recaros and audio, and the $44,995 GT and tS buy suspension hardware. The engine never changes. Spend accordingly.
No pressure either way — we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $32,495 or $44,995.
Name, number, "Base 6MT." No markup games, ever.
