If you comment, “Okay, Boomer,” you wouldn’t be wrong. This car is not for me. I’m sure it is for a lot of folks younger than me. I have never seen a wing this big on anything sold by CarMax. Does that make it a unicorn? I’m thinking not. I’m also thinking the Subaru WRX’s performance is not increased a whole helluva lot (if at all) by the addition of this gizmo.
The 2023 Subaru WRX didn’t come with a wing at all. This is a one-owner California car, and the one owner not only added the wing but also wrecked it about a year ago. You know who you are. This is an aftermarket unit. So are the Italian wheels, from OZ Racing. They’re legitimate rally wheels. Fan of F1 driver Carlos Sainz, Jr? Back in 1990, his dad “won the Driver’s World Rally in a Toyota Celica 4WD, equipped with OZ wheels,” according to OZ. I can live with the wheels.
The Subaru WRX STi had a wing (above), but it was discontinued for the 2023 model year.
I’m not advocating this car. It was in the results when I was searching for a cheap, fun, manual transmission car. It probably is a cheap, fun car, but there are better choices. For the same price, you can buy an actual WRX STi from CarMax – just a few years older. This base WRX has 271 horsepower, and the STi has 310, the latter running maybe a half-second faster to 60 mph, and maybe in need of the more tasteful (to me) factory wing?
CarMax has 132 Subaru WRX’s for sale as of today. This is the only one with the giant wing, so it’s pretty unique? Better act fast. (Like this car is acting fast?) This 2023 Subaru WRX is currently available here in Stockton, California.
