The 2025 Subaru WRX tS is a $46,000 car that still uses outdated touchscreen technology. Despite its 11.6-inch screen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the system is slow, glitchy, and prone to glare. 🧐‼

Climate controls are buried in the touchscreen, making them hard to use while driving. The graphics, though crisp, feel old-fashioned, and the TomTom navigation is nearly unusable. The new digital instrument cluster is a highlight, but some safety features come with additional fees. Subaru's infotainment system feels outdated and needs a major update.

By the end of next year, there may be no new cars in the U.S. under $20,000. Affordable models like the Mitsubishi Mirage and Kia Rio are disappearing, following a trend that started in 2019. Supply chain issues and the pandemic pushed up production costs, leading automakers to prioritize higher-priced vehicles. 👀‼

The average new car price has risen significantly, with many cars now costing $25,000 or more. However, there’s hope as prices may decrease slightly in 2024. While affordable cars are vanishing, Chinese automakers like Chery may bring more budget-friendly options to the U.S. market.
