The 2024 Subaru WRX TR is a testament to Subaru’s commitment to crafting cars that cater to the enthusiast—a breed that many brands are, sadly, leaving behind in the pursuit of efficiency and ease. At the heart of this machine is a 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER engine that delivers a punchy 271 horsepower and unmistakable Subaru growl, evoking the sounds and sensations that loyalists crave. But for me, the inclusion of a 6-speed manual transmission in the TR model deserves the most praise. Subaru could’ve left the manual behind, especially with the high-performing Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) as the ideal choice for precision and speed. But they didn’t. Instead, they’ve preserved the engagement of a responsive stick shift—a bold choice in a world steadily turning automatic.
