How reliable is a Subaru WRX?

I love rally-inspired cars, and I know there aren’t a whole lot of brands still making them, but Subaru’s WRX has really caught my eye. Is it a reliable car?

Rally cars aren’t as popular as they used to be, but Subaru hopes to reignite some enthusiasts’ passion with the WRX. But it’s good to find out how reliable the
Subaru WRX
is before you run out to buy one.
Overall, the Subaru WRX earns average ratings for reliability from entities like JD Power and Consumer Reports. The most prevalent issues drivers encounter, though, have to do with the transmission and clutch plate—so if your WRX is out of warranty, you’re looking at expensive repairs.
If you decide to stick with a WRX for your next new car, consider adding
towing and labor coverage
to your required
car insurance
policy in case you run into issues while you’re out rallying. While you’re at it, why not let
