Kinda like the WR blue pearl
white, red , black are not to bad also

Is there any truth to red cars attracting po po attention? Would the WR blue attrack unwanted attention?

Black might be to hot in the deserts i hang around in.

What would you chose all things considered?

Red doesn't attract my attention. The way people drive attract my attention.

I vote white. Black is a great color. Looks REALLY good when it's clean...but it's a PITA to keep clean.

Every cop in the US knows a glimpse of World Rally blue means there's a turbocharged rally car in the area, probably driven by a dickhead.
I'd go white or black instead from those colors, but my Impreza's dark grey metallic so I could get the black interior due to my black dog.

Sidestory, when I was buying my Impreza, they only had white interior cars on the lot, the dealer was desperate to close the deal so they asked what it'd take for me to live with a white interior. I told them a white dog. They asked what breed I wanted from the shelter.  

ETA:
Damn! They brought back the automatic WRX?! That was the only reason I didn't buy one (I went Impreza Sport Premium instead), thanks to my sucky commute.

Out of those colors, I'd go white. I have a black STi. While it looks awesome, it's seriously hard to take care of. If I'd had a choice, I would have bought white or silver, but when I bought my car, it was the only one available in the northeast, so my choices were black, black, or black.

Can't go wrong with red, white or blue.

I had a black car once. Won't do that again. Gets a little hotter in the sun that other cars. If you clean it and miss a spot the size of your fist, you'll be able to spot it a 100 feet away.

Studies have shown Silver is the most ignored vehicle color.

If I had to pick from the list I would vote white. Red is easy to spot among a sea of neutral colors hence attracting the wrong attention more often than not. Usually the sporty cars I see pulled over in my area have the fart cannons on them which is fine if your 16.



My brother has a Graphite Pearl WRX and another has silver and both are very nice.



My WRX is WR blue and it's the one thing I don't care for about the car; would have preferred silver.

I had a white 2011...  the black looks way more bad ass.

That being said - I had a red 2004...   would of rather had the blue...  or black.  

The WRX attracts police attention - because it goes fast and if you're anything like me - you'll be speeding in it most of the time.  

Edit -

My Vote - Black.

Are the ground effects from the front bumper scraping the ground?

White or Black.  I usally get my toys in those 2 colors.  White has advantages if you live in a hot all year round state and high lights the cars lines better than black.  That said black looks frickin tight.  (Usually for a day or 2 after you detail it)

WRB. White is for commercial vehicles.

It's a shame they don't offer Plasma Blue Pearl anymore.

I will say the White has a glitter/metal flake look. More like a pearl like color.

i have one in black.  hard to keep clean.  blue only works if you're a flat-billed hat wearing bro.  the best color is the dark gray they come in, but was not available in my area at the time.

I wish I could get a 2015 hatch but subaru doesn't want to make one.

WR Blue Pearl is pretty much the standard color that owners get.  Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome.
If you get that color, get your wheels painted white.  That combo looks hot.

I say white. Also It seems like every time subaru comes out with a new impreza body style, I hate it but it eventually grows on me. I love the hatchbacks now, sedans not so much.
And you know what they say about black cars, it's not a color, it's a part time job.

Oh, no! Not more ArfCom male insecurity?

If it gets hot in your part of Nevada, go with white or silver. It doesn't show dirt as bad, either.

The white pearl and the blue are a bitch to match so expect color problems if you ever have repairs unless you pick a shop with a good painter.

For a vehicle that does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and still gets decent gas mileage, you might reconsider thinking it's a joke.

the 2015 is fuck ugly and they don't make a wagon anymore.  

i would go with one of the slightly older ones if it was me.

i love the wagons from 2002 to 2005 I hate 06 through 08 and i like them all from 09 to 14

Oh c'mon, if any car in the lineup should be free from scorn it would be the WRX/STI.  They are fun cars.
