Subaru WRX vs. Honda Civic Type R

The truth is plain to see. The Subaru WRX is more affordable than the Honda Civic Type R. The WRX has a starting MSRP of $37,750, and the Honda Civic Type R has a starting MSRP of $45,895. Before you climb behind the wheel to compare the two vehicles, your wallet might have something to say. Save thousands by choosing a WRX and use those savings to elevate your journey to the next level.

When it comes to enjoying greater control, the WRX has the Civic Type R beat, hands down. That's because the WRX offers our Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving you more confidence over every mile, as you're always ready for what lies ahead. The Civic Type R does not offer AWD performance, limiting your ability to capitalize on your time behind the wheel.

You and your passengers will love the enhanced technology you'll find in the Subaru WRX. This performance car offers a larger touchscreen compared to the Civic Type R. Powered by our Subaru STARLINK® Multimedia technology, the WRX's 11.6-inch center touchscreen features crisp graphics and a user-friendly interface that makes every mile more enjoyable. The Civic Type R lets drivers access a smaller 9-inch touchscreen, falling short of the WRX in this category.

Subaru WRX vs. Volkswagen Golf R

The expressive and aggressive lines in the WRX help it get noticed. What else is easily noticeable is the difference in starting prices between the WRX and the Golf R. The WRX is more affordable than the Golf R, and the numbers prove it. The WRX has a starting MSRP of $37,750, which saves you thousands of dollars over the Golf R. The Golf R's starting MSRP of $49,455 is more than $11,000 more expensive, forcing you to stretch your budget a lot more just to climb behind the wheel.

The WRX and Golf R offer a single engine option. The WRX features our 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine, which offers up to 271 horsepower. The Golf R's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine gives you more power, to the tune of 328 horsepower. Although the Golf R offers more power, our popular Symmetrical All-Wheel drive levels the playing field, giving you greater control no matter what the road or weather conditions may be.

In terms of technology and safety features, the WRX and Golf R have their own versions that are designed to help drivers and passengers embrace a more enjoyable journey while elevating their peace of mind. Our famous Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist technologies will work hard to keep you and your crew protected every time you're on the roads.
