Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 WRX.
The 2025 Subaru WRX pairs an Automatic (AV-S8) transmission with EPA fuel economy estimates of 18/25/21 mpg. With zero recalls and just two total owner complaints on record—stemming from the Electrical System and Back Over Prevention—it ranks among the most reliable iterations in the model’s documented history. This stands in sharp contrast to the 426 complaints logged for the 2002 model year, the highest in the 2002-2025 range, and positions the 2025 variant near the 2010 low of a single complaint.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Subaru WRX shows just 2 federal complaints, 0 recalls, and 0 investigations, placing it at the quietest end of the current generation's arc, which began in 2022 with 25 complaints and a single recall before settling into single-digit-to-low-double-digit complaint levels through 2023–2024. Notably, TSB counts have declined each year of this generation (241 in 2022, 193 in 2023, 157 in 2024, 35 in 2025), a pattern consistent with a platform maturing and early-production issues being resolved. The two 2025 complaints involve the Electrical System/Back Over Prevention category and an "Unknown or Other" entry, with zero crash or fire complaints reported—though the very low figures should be read with the caveat that 2025 is a current model year with limited exposure time. The generation-wide trend is clearly one of diminishing recalls (from 1 in 2022–2023 to 0 in 2024–2025) and steadily shrinking TSB volume, suggesting Subaru has worked through the bulk of early teething problems. On the strength of the available data, the 2025 WRX appears to be a solid year to buy, with no open recalls and minimal complaint volume, though buyers should verify that any outstanding TSBs have been addressed by the selling dealer.
