2024 Subaru WRX — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke?

2024 Subaru WRX Premium, about 22,500 miles. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again. I would rather test this logically than replace parts.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2024 Subaru WRX price probably got worse. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2024 Subaru WRX numbers without them. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2024 Subaru WRX numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

OP here. Still looking, but I'm waiting on inspection notes before I send money on the 2024 Subaru WRX. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2024 Subaru WRX and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.
